Quinella check out the floats on the cab overs in Claus’s last set of pictures which are very cool. Also Quinella when Claus says he is surfing the net it just means he is looking at a lot of pictures on his computer, he really isn’t hanging ten on a surf board on top of his key board, just in case you had the wrong picture in your mind.

It really is a shame that KW quit producing the T800H, always been one of my favorites, looks much better than the W in my opinion.

Ken, I wish those trucks were 1/50. The Conforti is really nice.
Also thanks for the photos Claus. Wasn't the Mack logger part of a reality show? I think it was logging in Maine during the winter or something.

Darn, first time I looked at the latest round of pics, I missed that yellow Pete with two lift axles. That is splendid. Anyone on the Forum have any experience with this kind of configuration? CAW

Mr Quinella I have owned and driven both Autocars and Mack’s, RDs, DM800’s and B81’s also owned a70’s R600 which the Superliner was born from, the DM800 and B81 were all quad boxes in which you would have to shift thru the steering wheel. Also drove a Brockway with a quad box. I have to tell that they all drive like trucks. Sorry Ken but he was getting impatient about you not answering his question (Ken we know you are on this forum just to answer Quinella’s questions) and I did not want his wife to have to put up with his whining.

Thanks Robert, the Conforti is one of my favorites. Would love to see some of them in 1/50 also.

Ken great looking last ride, how about some specs on it.
Steve
Claus another great round of pictures.
Steve
Quinella as far as coming out of retirement don’t bother you couldn’t reach the pedals even if it had an automatic transmission. You do know you shrink with age, so your probably just under 3 feet tall.

Again, none of those are my pics. Just beautiful shots found while killing time. Thank you to whoever took them and placed them in various places on the internet. I'm out.
