  3. Actros's are a Good truck , but , soulless and overly Complex . A breakdown a long way out in one of those would be a FUCKING NIGHTMARE .

  4. The U.S. does do A-doubles , but not so many . Never seen a B-type coupling on a U.S. truck .

  5. The Swedes do run some Heavy and Large Combinations . A while back I used to watch the Daily Adventures of a Swedish Lady Truck driver Anjelica Larsson . Tiny Girl , Very Cute and 100% the Real thing . A good insight into Swedish Trucking . She has not posted in a good while , but there are plenty of Videos on her site nonetheless .

  6. So Glad you mentioned " The Engineer " , Larry Perkins . At one point his Shop was building everyone else's Crate Engines . Telemetry and Fuelling Specs were THEIR problem , but the " Air Compressor " bit was a Known Item . SOLID ! Larrikan Larry .

  7. 351 Cleveland (5.8 litres) . 4V heads (does not mean 4 valve , just a development) . May have been Injected at that stage . YEP ! Sounded wonderful . Take another look at the In-car Clip again . Conrod straight WITHOUT the Chase in it . They used to get Air-borne at the Hump .

  8.  @bigoz1977  . I knew a Weird guy . He was Ford all the way . But drove a Holden VL Calais . When you pointed this out to him he would SHOUT , " It is NOT a Holden , it's a CALAIS ! " . Yeah right buddy . A Nissan Skyline with a Body Kit then ?

  9.  @timjohnun4297  . Really ? What about the SLR5000 before it ? Or the XU-1 before that ?

  10.  @jarpa153  Pretty well the same over here on Federal Free Territory . Not however on Private Property or Military Land .

  11.  @jokervienna6433  . What ? You walked your Dog all the way into the Logging camp without getting stopped and sent away ? From the Heavy Industrial Site . That you were not authorised to be in ? Miles into the Forest .

  12. Darrell Lea is a Confectioner of the Highest calibre . They used to have their own Boutique stores . That became too expensive , Business Rationality wise , to maintain . Basically they went broke and got a Bail-out . Cash injection . Now they Market the same way as everyone else . The Original people maintained their positions on the Production floor . Other heads rolled . BTW the Wife and Kids are ADORABLE . All .

  13. Real Liquorice is Black/Dark brown and ANISEED Flavoured .

  14. I believe that Big Orange thing under the Water is a Coral of some kind . The " Prison Tree " looks like a Baobab Tree I reckon . I'm with you on the Light in the Sky . Sceptics will make Bullshit up , just for the sake of Nay-saying . Car Headlight ? Rubbish ! The " Henley On Todd " Regatta is Uniquely Australian alright . Asbestos Ghost Town . Wittenoom . Birds are VERY adaptable . Don't forget , they are really Dinosaurs .

  15. The Toyota V-8 was quite likely a 1-UZ . 4.0 litre and bulletproof . Badged as a Lexus when released here , but as a Toyota everywhere else on Earth . That Kid has an OBVIOUS Future as a Gameshow Host !

  16. The Pub Scene was hilarious . These days the Girls Give as good as they get , in terms of language . Yeah there WAS a Law change to permit Women into Public Bars . Prior to that Women were restricted to the " Parlour " . That Storm Front Cloud . 100% Real , Buddy . A " Southerly Buster " . Storm blowing in from the Southern Ocean . Kangaroos are NOT intrinsically dangerous . They're quite an intelligent Animal and just want to go about their business unmolested .

  17. That Datsun was WILD and Gorgeous .

  18.  @warrenbridges1891  . Ah Right . Timing Case IS the give-up .

  19. Many defunct names on that list Ian . Near the End there . White Trucks and Autocar amalgamated and became Western Star . There are Other examples of the same thing , in Europe as well . And if you have a CLOSE look , you can see many Obvious " Under Licence " built Vehicles . And Freightliner is really a Mercedes Benz subsidiary . Renault owned the Mack name for a long time , though not now . Lots of these intermarriages .

  20. Where he dived through there , end of Skyline into the First of the esses , he probably got Airborne . No wonder he was on two wheels trying to stay out of the Sand . His Testicles are heavier than his Car . Probably only 1600cc's too . Because he didn't lose momentum into the Esses , it's no surprise he was simply GAWN after that . Great to see a Pretty little Silly-Car (Celica) running around too . The Yellow car . Great Racing . Proper , as they say .

  21.  @HJZ75driver  . There are Definitely no Road Train Prime-Movers out there running Single Drive and Lazy Axle . All Tandem Drive or even Triple Drive Axle .

  22.  @obelic71  . Australia has a couple of small Specialist builders as well . But the Mainstream Mass Production of Motor Vehicles no longer exists here .

  23.  @BlazinRican1000  . No Conscription in Australia . Volunteer Armed Forces .

  24.  @whybutwhy  . Pretty sure Austria doesn't have a Car Industry . Nor Australia , any more .
    2
  25.  @vampiric4real  , Um . Why ? The Holden FJ was built Locally , in Australia , based from Chevrolet hardware . OUR first Domestic Car . And EFIGY was tribute to the First HOLDEN . Chrysler had absolutely NOTHING to do with it .

  26. The Car you thought was a " Mondeo " , was in fact a Falcon EL model . Bigger than any Mondeo . And the Old " Square " cars were NOT 60's vintage . 70's . This Track started as a Dirt Road . Right where it still is . No re-alignment , other than the Chase on Conrod to SLOW THEM DOWN . Had to Buy the Land off a Local to do so , because , Yes , people Definitely live there . NASCar was born from " Ridge-runners " I believe ?

  27.  @samsta65  . Drunk in Public ? On PRIVATE Property ?

  28. Yello and Red Truck is definitely a SIX .

  29. The " Strongest " they are talk of there is Not Horsepower . They are talking about the Chassis Rating . And yeah , 500 tonne SINGLE rating is truly Outrageous .
    2
  30. The Nissan Bluebird was a Domestic Small Sedan . 2-litre . More like DATSUN than a Nissan . VERY GOOD HANDLING and Steering as they came . Pre Skyline Era . Georges Car was a Turbo-charged version fettled for Racing and it went like a Scalded Cat . Very tightly wound Engine Package . David vs Goliath scenario .

  31.  @zwieseler  . Depends on the Spider , that has decided to Live in YOUR place . Some you really DONT want around .

  32. Jamie Dunn was " Agro " . The Girl was Anne-Marie Biggar . The Out-takes never went to air obviously . The "F" bombs etc .

  33.  @Eastlomond . Yes , well , the Scottish are well known as a People of Culture..............

  34. Two more Australian " REAL THINGS " . Crab Ants and Army Crabs . Ahh . The " Odd " ways of Crustacea .

  35. Passenger in the back - - '" Oi , Cabbie ! I said to hurry ' a bit ' , but seriously..................... ? " .

  36. We do have FLAT areas in Australia . Big Flat areas . We do get these type of Weathers , but not usually THAT big . Unusual terrain too . We call ours Dust Devils and Willie-Willies . Usually just a Nuisance . But that was a proper Category 1 Tornado . Damn . And the Nay-Sayers assure us the Weather isn't changing . Yeah , Right ! Our Twisters tend to be small because of the Latitude they happen in .

  37. NO ! Definitely no Ads for Prescription Drugs in Australia . Only un-scheduled Over-the-Counter stuff . Paracetamol or Ibuprofen Etc . Sales tax , Hmm . Australia Scrapped Sales tax quite a while ago . We now use " Goods and Services " Tax , Flat 10% across the board . UK = VAT . A Year is LINEAR time keeping , so 16th Day of the 9th Month of the Year of our Lord 2021 : 16/09/2021 , makes more sense . Why start in the middle ?

  38. Left Wing ? Fucking BULLSHIT ! Vladimir Putin is Left Wing . Or Kim Jong Un . THAT is the Extreme Left . We are Slightly left of Centre , and I mean VERY slightly .

  39. All Holden's . First Grey car is an FB/EK , Yellow Car is the HQ - GTS 4-door Monaro , Bronze Wagon is a Commodore X-8 , an All-Wheel Drive Wagon . The Yellow VERY Old Car is an FX/FJ and the big Long Blue Car is a Statesman , Luxury semi-Limousine . In the States there , you salt roads in Winter I believe . Instant RUST . Coastal areas make rust too . Cars from Inland tend to be Less Rusty . Back in the day , we did NOT Dip panels , here . Europe EVERYONE does . Monaro's were 2-DOOR cars . Except for THIS MODEL here . I am assuming you don't Zinc Dip in the States either . Please STOP talking over people who are Describing their Vehicles features .

  40. Australia needs Better Internet . Even where the People ARE it's generally Shit . Infrastructure is inadequate even where the revenue BASE is . Chrysler doesn't really exist here now . I personally have NEVER seen a Viper or Challenger or some such . And I am a retired Long-Haul Truckie . High Speed rail needs a Committed Track Build and , of course , The Actual Hardware . Normal Tracks are definitely not up to the Stresses involved for 320 km/h plus speeds . 200 mph . Needs sufficient demand within certain corridors . America could probably easily justify the Costs , but your ENTIRELY Free Enterprise system means no-one will commit to it . Australia can't really justify , Full Stop . Except for perhaps Sydney-Melbourne . The Infrastructure is Prohibitive on the Public Dollar , and anyone not provided service by it , would quite rightly say , why should MY tax Dollar pay for " Their " convenience when this Transport system is of no use whatsoever to me . I don't know why the U.S. didn't buy OUR Local Muscle Cars . The all handled better than yours . And Maybe we would still have GENUINE local product still if you had .

  41. The Black Truck that you commented on @3:25 I think was an Old V-8 BENZ . Cab profile made me think so . America also does Loaded Truck Drags . But usually at a proper Dragstrip . Souped up stuff punching 1200 plus HP .

  42. Pretty sure Mercedes , MAN and SCANIA all have a similar system .

  43.  @dylanzrim3635  . Flat-Plane will not cause TWO to Fire at once . Just a different Cadence and Resonance .
    1
  44. Flat-plane is your NORMAL Inline 4 Crank . All 4 fire Separately and evenly . A Two-stroke Inline 4 will fire them in Pairs . Like a TZ-700 . The R-1 , with its Cross-plane Crank , is a " Big Bang " engine . Two Cylinders fire 90 degrees apart . Then 270 later , the OTHER two do the same . Leaves a slight Dead Spot each revolution that helps maintain Traction .

  45. The Honda Valkyrie is a 1.8 litre FLAT 6 . The Sporty Model of the Current Goldwing Motor . The V-8 sound you are used to is , Yes , much lower Revs and usually with a Cross-Plane Crank . 90 degree throws . I think that is using a Flat-Plane Crank . 180 degree throws . Sounds somewhat like a V-8 Cosworth F1 Engine .

  46. Hahahaha . Dem 'Roos be like " Wut dis Shit Man " . BTW , I'm sure that's EXACTLY what they were thinking . 🤣. Not a nice environment for them . They have virtually no Body Fat . The Two Cops . " Well there's the Long and Short of the Situation......" . Damn , the Little Lady Cop is so C U T E . Luckily the Partner's Godzilla . 😂. Fun Fact about our last BIG fires . They could smell the Bastards in SOUTH AMERICA . Yes . The other side of the Pacific Ocean . Snake just Chillin' in the Birdbath . Waiting for Delivery Dinner . Efficient . Smart as " F " . That was a BIG Salty in that Trailer . Yes they are definitely a Dinosaur . A Small one . 🤣. Just a Tadpole .

  47. I remember this . Yes this WAS Genius . Cast of thousands . Literally . It DID sell a Beer or Two . Victoria Bitter is a Huge brand . Done some good ads .

  48. Fangio is likely the ACTUAL Greatest of All Time . And his Signature move was to Stick it in Straight and Back it Out . A drifter .

  49. Hey Ian . Cheers from OZ . Your Education System in The States is the Primary Culprit for this stuff . But you already know that .

  50.  @Savagetechie  . OK . Export Market I presume . Bonneted Trucks , other than Day-Cabs , don't really suit the European Infrastructure .
