motterso Posted November 3, 2017 Report Posted November 3, 2017 Cool trucks! Looks like an International sneaking up on them at about 2:45. I wonder how that one did? Quote
wayfarer Posted November 3, 2017 Report Posted November 3, 2017 Yup, sure looks like a 'national.... I wonder if they had a GPS in the trucks..... Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted November 3, 2017 Author Report Posted November 3, 2017 My first trip to the Mideast.....there was no such thing as Coca-Cola and no Ford vehicles either...I could live without the one....when I got on the plane to go back home....that sweet little stewardess brought me an ice cold Coke...man was that ever good.....HOWEVER, I have not had a cola in 14 years...

Charlie Stephenson Posted November 3, 2017 Report Posted November 3, 2017 The Coke or the sweet little stewardess ??? Charlie Stephenson Quote
FlashBuddy Posted November 3, 2017 Report Posted November 3, 2017 I was worried about my trucks growling. Now not so much. Sounds like its likely been there all along. Quote

Charlie Stephenson Ever fly Cathay Pacific airlines....? Can't speak for recent, but back in the day they were top on service and their stewardesses also top of the line cute, smartly dressed, friendly but extremely professional. I would always trade my return ticket so to fly Cathay Pacific on my return from the Mideast to London for US connector flight. Plus they flew 727's...that worth the ticket trade alone.

Charlie Stephenson Posted November 3, 2017 Report Posted November 3, 2017 I couldn't agree more. Charlie Stephenson Quote
Worden18 Posted November 5, 2017 Report Posted November 5, 2017 Awesome video, thanks for sharing. Reminds me of Qataban and Sheba...the book I mean. I have yet to see the video footage of the expedition; although I attended one of George Farrier's slideshow presentations back in the 90s. Quote
Charlie Stephenson Posted November 5, 2017 Report Posted November 5, 2017 Thanks' Plymouthy Adams. I first watched this movie the on your previous post, Just can't get enough of it. Charlie Stephenson Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted November 5, 2017 Author Report Posted November 5, 2017 I came across this on an English car forum that I am a member. Found it a bit out of place but they seemed to like the massive Dodge trucks of that era. I used to read a few books online and one them was King Solomon's Mine and the book was very interesting, few colorful characters and as always, a hero and a villain. It would be good to see the original film again. Quote
dpollo Posted November 7, 2017 Report Posted November 7, 2017 The soundtrack with the engine and transmission noises is music to my ears. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Posted November 7, 2017 much like a military convoy on uneven terrain...drove a few of those, I volunteered for everything....loads of fun...never a dull moment and you never had the crap details... Quote
