i've been around trucks since i was born, learned to drive them when i was about 8 and was driving by myself working for my grandfather by the time i was 13 in an old KW SAR with a screamin demon under the hood:cool: (on private roads and private land of course lol) now my grandfather has sold his trucks and retired so now work on trucks as a diesel mechanic here in newcastle for a company that owns and imports/converts/sells peterbilts, i can throw up some pics if you guys are interested:)

hey luke welcome!

hope you liked my vid,s.

might have to gret one of those stickers
for my current truck, a T950 with a c15 and stack packs
sounds glorius either under jakes or going up thru the gears
in the northbridge tunnel here in perth.

Re: hello from Newcastle, Australia
 

I love your vids, i can't stop watching them, the better half gets pissed because she isn't getting the attention hahahaha

I will see if i can find the print i made up and i will post it up and you can copy it and take it to a sticker place to print up for you

Cheers
