Not cheap are they those tires? How much you reckon? I would guess that if the truckie runs out of spares getting one out to the middle of dingo country would cost bit as well?

Depends if they are retreads ...

Gosh - and apparently it is me who drags things off topic?

Retreads are $100 cheaper than the real McCoy apparently. 14k difference on the rig. That's a lot of dough ray me.

Not to split hairs mind you, neither of those are trucks. They are tractor trailers.

Regardless either of those rigs must be a handful to drive.

To be fair, I don't think anyone from outside of Yankistan would call those tractor trailers.

A tractor trailer to me would be a, umm, trailer, pulled by a, well, tractor. Like all on a farm and stuff.

I believe the cattle version is trailers pulled by a prime mover? No tractor involved. The mine train might be the same but the fron one looks like and independent dump truck.

Correct term is indeed Prime Mover. Add 2+ trailers behind one and now we've got a road-train and rules of the sea apply when one of these big fuckers is coming towards you (give way to the larger vessel)

Yes of course. But technically big rigs are also tractors. So it makes a perfect flashpoint for a TD shit fight

But blimey, they must be wishing one of them was carrying new forum content.

Fuck, I am trying at least. Keep getting dragged into the same old shit though.

[Klondyke]

Is it a truck?

[lom]

Not so bright are you?

Well, not everyone can be up to your level of thinking, it must be hard for you having to cope with us of lower intelligence.

Agreed. Each country seems to have their own term for them, we call them Tractor Trailers or Big Rigs. Seems people in UKistan call them a Lorry.

Yet another yank who has zero comprehension of the English language. Lorry - a vehicle with a fixed trailer box, not articulated. On an articulated truck, the front part (with the engine) is the Tractor Unit. Yankistanis have problems with language though call them "Tractor Trailors". As for big rig? That aussie truck would shit all over Merkin tractor units. Lucky some drunk idiot didn't pop up and claim they were American made trucks, and then got his mate the mod to save his blushes by deleting it.

I came to the Computers subforum to find out how to wipe a harddrive that I, umm, found.

What the truck has this got to do with computers - multimedia.

Multimedia. Text and Picture - multi forms of media.

As for the harddrive, download chromepass to it and hook out all the passwords on it. On my legendary Cambodia thread, the hotel suite I stayed in had an actual computer in it. One drunken evening I turned the fucker on, ran the password fetchers on it. Very eye opening.

They are 100% assembled in Australia of 100% American parts and design you fucking imbecile and I had nothing to do with the mods moving it. I am in fact pissed off about it because you made an utter fuckwit of yourself once again.

What a fucking buffoon.

[taxexile]

So what it is all American parts and design.

australian kenworth trucks are manufactured in australia, to an australian specification and using mostly australian sourced parts.
