    Well, I'm not going to comment on all of this. I just hope for the sake of your children (and for your sake too), that none of them turns out to be homosexual. About 5% of the population is born that way, and no it is not a choice, and yes it can even happen to enlightened persons like you.

    To compensate for all of this, a few nice 100 ton Berliet t100 desert trucks from the late 1950's:

    Sure, but the t100's are a bit bigger.

    This smaller old Berliet GPO 15P is more like the trucks you showed:

    although it is not related to trucks,and this topic, but other things ....but i will still write
    related to life in Europe,
    i think mixing of nations and especially religion is not a good thing.....mixing similar nations is not that bad , it is not like i hate someone but it is not good in my opinion....
    i know few couples both Catholic Croats but from different regions, and they mostly dont work good.....as they are too different

    i spent now week in germany and there is so many nations there and you can feel something is not right.....
    you will never be german , so i can see their are not integrated in society, they hang out mostly only with people from their country....they are completely separated

    people from my country that went to germany.....many of them went there because they have heard about better life, but once they go there they realize it is not that better, but they dont want to return here because everyone would laugh to them....many of them left their good jobs to go there and.....now it is too late... i think only about 20% of people from here that went to germany really had to go because they had no job or similar....

    if they want to save some money on side, they need to save money and not spend anything , here it is normal to stop in bar every day,to go on caffe in bar several times per day.... and our people have it inside of them , they need to stop, in germany they cant afford that , our people have need to own some house or own apartment , it is not natural for us to live in someone else place and pay rent....

    only thing that is better for them there is they can afford better car, as car cost same as here and salary is bigger, and food is much cheaper than here.....

    anyway even germany cannot change balkan people
    many of our people still cannot resist to go in bars....so there are specific bars only for our people with serbian music, and that serves our drinks (even our beer is crap comparing to german but they still want to drink it) this is places that earn lot of money because our man's spend lots of money there.....

    one of places there i have visited is called indigo in stuttgart, when you get inside, on one side of bar there is big bar and plenty of man's standing there and drinking , lot of them are still in work clothes even they have finished their work 6 hours ago, they have good looking waitress girls serving our crap beer....

    on other side of bar there are poker machines and same amount of man's gambling drinking same crap quality beer....and swearing god, because they lost on programmed machine that will never give you any money

    for our people it is not natural to sit on normal table, you have to be either on bar or on poker machines , so it is kind of funny to see that they are split ......and nobody in middle....it is even funnier to see reaction when someone who is not from balkan accidentally go inside .....also it is not natural for us to pay only for yourself, when you go inside you must pay to everyone and everyone will pay for you, and it is not correct to be inside and not pay to everyone

    i was in bar of one serbian who have two bars , one around other because guest were complaining there is not enough space on bar , so theoretically you can be on both bars at same time

    add below says: we are hiring waitress with big tits , work experience is not necessary

    98989 , are you seeing a downturn in frieght rates over there?

    Things are not good here. Rates are down and still falling. And there is an over capacity of trucks.

    No one I know is busy......

    P.S. Assimilation is a lost art.

    Cat,we are in a world economy now.
    If a butterfly flaps it's wings in China...............

    Low budget trucking is the new standard.

    How many old beat up trucks do you see running in your area?

    More and more junk... Mainly container and dirt haulers...

    Biggest problem around here is mom and pop businesses are all being bought out by muiti national corporations . Thus limiting competition......

    And it's true they only care about cheap and pushing you around . Any thing that's decent they just bring on their own trucks and take it .

    Sorry for the hack......

    Back to how much I dislike euro trucks. :)
