Was de-reg when I sold it so can't check the VIN.

Might be dust, who knows. I figured given the age of it someone might know of it. Meh

I know the ZB. That's all

Trawling carjam one number at a time currently lol. There's a lot of 'plate or vin not assigned' so might do a lot of trawling and have no luck lol

Found these on my travels

Where's that? Desperate need of over riders for my chev (total dredge sorry)

So, when I was like 13 I had a tidy metallic blue 73 Corona Coupe Deluxe. Slush box with a 1700. I sold it de/rego to some guy in TuAkau who got it roadworthy again. I saw it in Pukekohe in 2001 with ZBxxxx plates and some period jAp Mags. Haven't seen it since.

anyone know if it's made it through the years?

Cheers

Ive seen that 5 axle WS cruising south from aux towards Hamptons Landfill, had some kind of waste waster tank thing on the back, looked fuckin sweet!!

Also dont have a photo but while at work the other day an amazing 5 axle freightliner tractor unit (with massive sleeper cab and huge hiab crane) came through towing a low loader trailer.

It runs between Wiri and Hampton downs carrying sludge and leech water from the landfill.

Got a pic of that Rotorua Rescue Tender And an old Beddie today too, will upload tomoz

Similar yeah, but grilles wrong so wouldnt be the same year. Shrug

Not oldies, but just a few that I've driven - relief driver so I've seen a few. Can you tell I used to work for envirowaste? Work for another waste company now - got my own truck now, although only a wee one to start. Epic funds needed to get one of these WS for example. And that old Komatsu dumper I mentioned earlier. Keep forgetting that Airport Rescue Truck, must grab one of that.

When it was new and shiny! 525hp, 18spd RR

Not so shiny So much chrome, so damn hard to wash! Note the 3rd new WS in the reflection of the bumper. That ones auto, didnt try that one. Didnt have the dished Alcoa wheels on it either so looks a bit odd, wheels get swallowed by the guards. A month or so after this was taken it got broken into - bastards took the cheap shit philips stereo lol.

Epicness Spec Build - Another auto though, first WS Enviro got, one of the new HPMV vehicles, also had a 5 axle trailer to match. A cool $880,000! Ticketed for 64 tonne, and last I heard it just ticked 120,000km and is on the 3rd transmission.

Freshly washed frontloader - one of way too many I've driven. Crappy by comparison to my inlaws front loaders and hook truck. But best one Auckland branch had - could pack 13t of rubbish and rock the scales at 25t *cough* Ironically, the only one on the fleet without loadscales.

Epic Komatsu Dumper - Retrofitted BBC, straight pipes off the motor - hear it a goddamn million miles off.

Spotted this mway - dodgy phone camera pix whilst driving a truck lol

Got no damn idea what it is though.

Ned Ls400 wins the most unold school prize.

Ummmmmmmmm, 99 Primera.......

Good god - aiwa! Thats going back a LONG time. Cant even remember what happened to them.

Try the centre console under the dash, right by the floor - almost under the dash. Hiaces and the like from back then were there, so maybe vanette did?

Get it road legal (big job....), extend chassis and build epic house on it. Looks so cool. It would have power steering wouldn't it?

Power steer yes, air clutch and brakes - but still heavy as all hell. Everything american in general til fairly recently is heavy in most aspects compared to the euro/jap equal.

I know where this lives now, out in the weather in South Auckland. Still looks fairly tidy though, and still in Rescue livery. Should go get a pic or two of it.

uhh.... air boosted clutch in an old k-pop? can't say you're right there.

giz pics of that rescue tender though! so sweet.

Will try get pix soon as, and I'm assuming it has an air boosted clutch, as the 76 KW that my missus uncles son in law has, is air boosted. Not a conventional though, its a cabover.

envirowaste?? .

Last job was Envirowaste yeah. Full time relief driver for everything. Hook, frontload, gantry, etc etc.

When you say bread and butter do you mean your main job right now is driving the mitsi? Fun job?

I wouldn't mind doing some driving work but I only have my class 2. Oh and I dont want to get up much earlier than 8am. And I cant work Mondays.

Problem seems that everyone wants drivers with experience but I have only legally been able to drive trucks since last year even though I have driven extensively about Europe in a 7 tonne truck (yeah I know that's not big at all but still experience eh)

I might have to inquire some more...

I'm an owner driver, so I own the truck. I enjoy my job greatly, and even though the mitsi is only a class 2 truck, I can drive anything on the road.

I got lucky with the experience thing, my inlaws run 3 mitsis (2x 6 wheelers, 1x 8 wheeler) for a recycling company, so I had the contacts to get me a foot in the door.

If you've had your class 2 for 6 months, go for your class 4, then try get a class 2 job. Gets you experience to work up the ladder. I'll try get pics of my truck if anyone is interested, it's actually clean and shiny cause the company I contract to, had it repainted in their new colours about 3 months ago - although it won't last long, my line of work is pretty paint and equipment abusive.

Knew I was forgetting something...........

Whens the the next one

I sat in a Kwoppa today.

Theres a guy whos been around some years, drives an 03 KW Aerodyne, done well over a million and still going. Currently contracts to Halls, was Brent Marsh Ref, Then AFLogistics, runs with the plate KWOPPA.

I hope one day to get an old girl for a daily, med sized truck so costs dont get too sky high. Currently my bread and butter comes from my 07 Mitsi Fighter though. Should grab a pic of the old Terex (I think) quarry truck we have in the other yard if its still up there.

My uncle in law used to work for Doughtys in Wiri for years and years, back when they had the old colours and a fleet of Leaders. Should see what pics he has floating around - must have a few - hes been in trucks his whole damn life.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, maybe, in my daily, after work. And if I actually remember.

I have a set of Uno Turbo Rims, and a set of steelies from a 124 (I think), with beauty rings - could be widened

Bugger, you didnt get the flash as one.

Had one before it got owned by some dumb cunt trying to drift. Has all electric is the back too - seat heaters & massagers, folding front seat, AV input, factory TV, etc etc.

Looks good on the rims though

Keen whenever

Automotive Security Systems in Auckland, AVS S5 cost $430.77 installed.

So far, 15,000km on 205/70 on a 6 inch wide wheel and mine have grooved the tyre slightly, but definitely not eating into it.

Gonna need new flappers before I do tyres, WOF guy and curbs dont mix

Neighbour has BA on 18x8 and 18x9 Koya Rush. Looks good. Lowered out too.

Cool bowtie man.

Hotties must go though!

Yeah, can't say I'm a huge fan of the hotties. Finding replacements could be difficult though. Holden stud pattern on the front, and ford on the rear. Would probably have to go for new, but dunno what.

All in good time though.

very cool. rhd even better. military spec again?

I'd have liked a left hook, but never mind. Doubt I'll militise it, the purple is growing on me, plus it makes it stand out for deaf people who can't hear it 3 miles away.

Pretty sure ive seen this in the sunny city of papakura.

Awesome car dude. Is this the oldest ride on oldschool?

It's lived down south for the past 21 years, only been around South Aucks since New Years, so if it was snce then, it was probably me.
