    * Ya almost killed me Steve ! The 'ol blood sugar went off the scale with all that Eye Candy ! Great show and the Dunbar Fleet stood out. Would have loved to hear that vintage Leyland run. Love the work everyone puts in to save the old gals. The UTEs are special cause we don't have em here in the states. That orange 66 Dodge is something. Don't think I ever saw one before. Looked strange seeing your shed empty. Cheers Mate ! 👊😎👍

    • @stevesplacedownunder

    G'day Steve,
    Thanks for the vid ,
    was very cool indeed.
    I'm amazed how the sight and sound of the old rigs just takes me straight back to being a young boy in the late 60's n early 70's.
    The rounded look of the cabs,
    and the sound of the engines .
    I knew the sound of almost every different engine as a young boy .
    I still love them , always will I guess.
    On ya cobber.
    Respect....!

    Good to see that Down Under Rigs! I heard several. Detroits and Cats Running by. Here in the US. I drove Detroits , Cats, Mack and Cummins . R-Model Mack 237 . Started driving a R190 IH w/Red Diamond 450 6cyl gas 5 speed w/ OD and 2 sp rear. That was a 1953 . Also a 1952 L200 same engine w/tag axel ( would get stuck if the road was slick) Over the years I drove if I could make $$ I didn’t care what I was driving. I didn’t’ see any GMC “ Cracker Box” in the show. But I drove a 1965 w/ Detroit 653 and a 5 speed w/2 sp, rear. That was a relict when I drove it😂 I’m 79 now so I have some memories ?
