3:17 NO WAY! My OTHER LOVE, bikes especially BMX while I was growing up & NOW, ebikes! Mark, you're a man after my own heart and own all my favorite toys now for sure! Himiway ebikes are dang good brand, I have a 2021 Rattan & I WISH I had an ebike when I drove OTR.
When your peers award your efforts there is no better recognition. Because they KNOW what it takes. Well done Mark. And nice commentary from Mrs Twinsticks.
I have been waiting for this episode all year. Congratulations on your achievements Mark, Project snowman looks amazing! Thanks for taking us in this journey, it was a wild ride. By the way, Mrs Twinsticks stole the show with her comments!
You know i was never a truck guy i'am more a car guy and still am i have car . But then i start watching mark on twinsticks right from the beginning . And i will tell you i have alot of respect for these truckers and what they do to there trucks and the detailing beautiful machines . You can tell mark is in he's elements. What alot of work these people put into there trucks so like marks says if you bought it a trucker brought it amen to all you truckers and when i'am on the road i give them the space they deserve stay back from them . And if i pass them i go way up ahead when i pull in front of them cheer's to you truckers amen .
You're welcome. And we appreciate you giving us the extra space. The general public doesn't understand that we aren't out for a cruise, we are at work.
@@HD01OntheroadagainAnd as a everyday person i appreciate you men and women . Not everyone can do what you people do . Away from home alot driving through all kinds of weather . Dealing with idiots on the road more them anything . And peoples patiences are zone out there crazy . Thank you for what you do cheer's.
What your dad said about truckers and good food WAS accurate. Then, starting in the 1990s but accelerating a lot in the 2010s, all the real trucker restaurants started closing and all the truck stops got fast food joints.
Mark - tip for mounting mud flaps. Take a box Cutter or razor and make a vertical slit from the mounting holes to the top of the flap, then mount them with your stainless nut/bolt/washers. This way if you ever back over them, or otherwise pull them off, they will pull off clean and not tear the top all to pieces. You'll be able to remount them no problem. Thank me later!
Congrats on getting some more sponsors/suppliers on board, well deserved for all the entertainment you have given us especially with the amount of your own hard earned you’ve put into these trucks, plus all the time doing the editing of these vids.
Woohoo I have been waiting for this. It's 5 am and I have never wanted a Coors banquet more in my damn life!!!!! "Pitter patter let's get at er" So damn proud to support a hard working person like yourself!
I came to the show and it was great to see the Snowman truck in person. I watch a few RUclips channel but never get to see the end result of a project live so this is a real treat. Thanks Mark for all your hard work and letting us share in the process. I'm sure the filming and editing slow you on the projects. I bought my young daughter to the show again this this and she loved the truck and we got some great pictures next to it. Sorry didn't get a chance to talk to you this year.
Mark I’ve been here since the first wrench you turned on that beauty, a lot of anxious Thursday morning episodes invested and you wouldn’t believe the satisfaction I get watching you slamming gears rolling her down the highway. I’m here for the ride buddy KEEP ON TRUCKING!!!
G'day Mark, It would be an absolute awesome thing to have if it would have been possible, to have had Burt, Sally, Jerry & Jackie Gleason to have signed your rig. It would have been a true & fitting tribute to the movie & more importantly an acknowledgement to your attention to detail, great workmanship & straight up dedication to your project. It is in my honest & humble opinion that your Smokey & The Bandit Tribute Truck to be the BEST Rig on the Planet, well done & congratulations Mate. Kind Regards, Steve.
G'day Mark, I just have a small request/faver to ask & it is, Would there be some way that I could get/buy an Autographed picture of the Smokey & The Bandit Tribute Truck ??? I would like to then get it framed & hang it on my wall of Legendary & Famous Rigs. I am happy to pay the costs/shipping naturally. It would be so cool hanging in pride of place. Kind Regards, Steve.
Fun Fact: In the movie, 400 cases was shown to fill the entire truck, which is hilarious. A 45ft trailer will hold 22 40X48 pallets. A typical pallet of beer (6pk or 12pk) will be 110 cases per pallet, or 2,420 cases per truck load. However, because of US weight limits, a more realistic load would be 20 pallets, or 2,090 cases, for a weight of about 39,600 lbs (17,962 Kg). On average, truck and trailer of this type is 15k for tractor, 20k for trailer, for a total loaded weight of about 74,600 lbs (33,837 Kg or 40 average sized family cars). The US has a typical weight limit of 80,000 lbs, but you would leave "head room" for fuel, snow build up, and etc. Over weight tickets can vary from state to state, and add to that, the risk of a safety (DOT) inspection that could add more fun to that bill. Bottle loads would be less cases, but the overall pallet count and total weight would be similar.
This was the big show years in the making and first place was well deserved. Congrats Mark. The on the road commentary from Mrs Twinstick was an absolute hoot and can't wait to see her running Bandit to your Snowman with the TA. Lots of other nice rigs at that show but I suspect you might have a Decepticon infiltration with that black and purple one.
Awesome episode! It was nice seeing Mrs. Twinsticks. I love the truck builds but I think some family vlogging would be a hit also. Congratulations on your award at the show!
Mark, I've been watching since the beginning and I have to say that is my favorite video you've posted! The look on your face when the flaps for the trailer arrived and you took them out was like a kid at Christmas. Your passion for trucks is glaringly obvious, genuine and truly infectious because the pure joy you get out of it! Thanks for sharing your journeys with your trucks and keep doing what you do cause it's awesome! Congrats on the win too, you deserve it!!
Your hard work and dedication has paid off big time!! I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your presentations over the last couple of years; the fruits of all of your labour are being rewarded! Congrats on receiving the award; it is nice to see you respected by your peers! Kudos to Mrs. Twin Sticks for all of her support to see your dreams come true; much respect! Thank you for sharing everything with us!!
One of the movies from my childhood that started the spark. Drawings from school were the teacher wrote 'I want to become a truckdriver'. Just seeing the great job you have done with project snowman gives me that feeling again. The way it turned out... i absolutely love it. Being part of your Joy; riding it and showing it to others that that know the movie oh so well. Great job Mark, please keep up that good work. Keep filming for us to enjoy and share a few of those goosebumps everytime you drive it down the road. I knew what i wanted to do when i was older and now I have been driving on the many different roads of Europe for 16 years. Hello from Holland (Well Germany right now as I am stil on route till tomorow)
Great episode! That was a cool truck show. The weather seemed perfect. All your hard work paid off for sure! A big shout out to “Mrs Twin Sticks” for her videoing and commentating on the way to the show!
Hey mark just wondering if you play american truck simulator on pc if so theres a mod where you can own and drive snowman. Keep up the great work and cant wait to see little by little painted
Congratulations Mark, a lot of hard work, expense and dedication went into this project and you deserve the trophy! As well Mrs Twin Sticks deserves recognition for putting up with you! Lol. Ps… the CL9000 was known as the Two Story Edsel when I was in the business, not the TwoStory Ford.
Mark, you need to go to your local distributor for Coors and ask them for "empty" case boxes. Get enough to make a wall of boxes on the back of your truck and there you go... Tell them what your doing and they would probably even save them for you.
Great Job Mark, What I love about you is how humble you are, showing off every ones trucks and and giving them great reviews, while you have this awesome truck!. hope to get down to the truck show one day and see all this!
Congratulations on recognition for all your hard work.I also went to Smokey and the Bandit when I was young and grew up around trucks as my Dad was a truck driver as I am too so neat to watch this truck and trailer come together. Thanks a lot for taking us along and you definitely deserve the trophy. Can’t wait for the duke now as cabover Kenworth trucks are what I started out in when I was 16 lol.
If you ever wanna take a trip south there's a big truck show in kasson, MN the weekend after Labor Day every year called the big iron classic would be great to have you and the truck there
Another awesome episode Mark. Much liked the Ford CL 9000 guy you were very much my inspiration to build my truck and put it on RUclips! Hope to meet you some day! Any changes I could talk you into coming to the Kasson MN big iron classic next year??? Great too see you wearing the hat( in the last episodes) I sent! Wish I could contribute more to show my appetition for being my inspiration!
Good call on the bike. My uncle, a former OTR driver, used to keep a lightweight road bike in his upper bunk. He rode to restaurants, stores, and wherever he needed to go.
6:25 You know recently I just found out Hal Needham was the director of Rad? Alfie Wise was also in that I think that makes him virtually in every Hal Needham movie.
Awesome video as always. It funny you mention the movie RAD, a lot of people have never heard of it. Two of my favorite movies as well, Smokey and the Bandit along with RAD!
3:17 NO WAY! My OTHER LOVE, bikes especially BMX while I was growing up & NOW, ebikes! Mark, you're a man after my own heart and own all my favorite toys now for sure!
there is a couple companies here in the central usa that are super nice going down the road, they get a chrome allowance each month to chrome up their trucks. its farmers oil and accord transport, they haul propane and oil tankers, and the tankers are all painted and chromed out too
First time commenting. All the way from the Bahamas. Was so surprised to see you winning that category. Had to rewind to hear it properly then tears started to fall. I've been with you since the first video you put out. Seen them all. So happy for you.
Congrats Mark and Mrs. Twinstick, on winning first prize on ur Bandit truck. surprize u didn't bring the stuff dog with you. cool simi trucks. thanks Mark for showing us the trucks show.. cool truck prize..
Congratulations Mark!!!!!!!! Alot of blood and sweat and hard earned but you sure deserved it!!!!!! Thanks for allowing us to join you on this journey!!!
Dang! Snowman looks sharp. First show and you come away with a trophy! With such a beautiful rig, it would have been a crying shame if you hadn't won a trophy.
Congratulations all the hard work paid that smile on your face was priceless way to go Mark and kudos too Mrs Twin Sticks for putting up with it 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Congratulations on the win at the truck show. Looking forward to watching the Trans Am build on your channel. Looking forward to when you can show the truck and car at a show.
Congratulations on the trophy i was hoping for. It was my first truck show I ever attended, you got my vote . I'm one of the creators of the gladiator and own the truck and is for sale now. Thanks for the positive comments and great videos.
Such an awesome video, and trucks, and people! So, you really need to talk your missus into getting herself a truck, or at least a car from HER favorite movie/tv-series and have her work on it! 😄👍 Keep up good work! 😛
Yes that will look awesome, but is it HER favorite though? 😛@@TwinStix You should totally get a 1977 Pontiac Lemans too, that would be pretty epic! 😄😄 You can never have too many cars/trucks, right? 😉
Love your Kenworth an amazing job. Built like I told you in the beginning you should have done your frame gloss black not flat it's going to turn brown if you put any chemical it's going to stain and after time is going to look horrible if you would have done glass it would have been a lot easier that's the only complaint. And when you do your Peterbilt for the love of God paint the frame to match the truck do not do the frame and flat black again it just hides everything . It just represents the rest of the truck poorly
Flat black matches the movie trucks and I like it because it’s easy to fix if a spot gets nicked. Also flat black fades into the background and makes the paint and chrome on the truck stand out more in my opinion. That said, I am planning on painting the undercarriage of the #IronDuke gloss black for something different 🤔
@@TwinStix flat black just turned brown and just looks like shit over time . Look at semi casual they do their frames to match the cabs looks amazing you have the skills do thzt
@@TwinStix and the only reason I'm saying that cuz you're there anyways you're doing all that hard work and Edward suckling phone number for you would have said I wish I would have done lost or the color of the cab in the Peterbilt situation
It was awesome meeting you twin stick's I was the kid who you gave a sticker and a t shirt daycab company and told me about split rings at night! What an absolute pleasure meeting you twin stick's keep on trucking!
"Congrats and well done" to the whole TwinStix family. All of your time, money and work was most definitely not in vain. Awesome show and awesome video. Thanks for all your efforts and time to bring it to us out here. Can't wait to see the T/A done and in partnership with the rig. Hat's off to you and your lovely wife!!👍🇧🇲
Mark that show is nice but you've never been to Louisville Kentucky show there's 1,000 of trucks in that show the best show and expo for trucking..you really need to make plans to fly there this year..or better yet drive snowman
Lesco show was great, and yours, along with your good wife, was a well deserved win. Just a tiny point of interest, I watched the movie again a couple days ago, and noticed something I hadn't noticed before, that the license plate light shining, is just to the right, of the trailer left brake/tail light. On your trailer it's in the middle over the trailer license plate. Bit like yourself with my cars, the tiniest details missed, or not correct, I have to change or correct. Your work is impeccable. Take care.
Congratulations on the award Mark, well deserved! And of course, congratulations on the completion of the Snowman rig! It's been a great journey and I'm glad to have been able to follow the whole transformation from the beginning (which already seems like eons ago). I have to commend you on sticking to your goal and getting it done in time for the show - despite the long hours that were spent put this truck & trailer together (especially these last few months), it was clearly worth all that time and effort. For many years to come, you'll be able to sit back with a Coors in hand, look at it in your shop, and say "I built that!"
Awesome job Well done Mark and Mrs.twinstick Congratulations. Safe Travels and God bless. Enjoy watching your videos. 👍10-4 HOBBS mudflaps Awesome love the look.
Hello Mark And My Name Is Alex Gomez And I Always Watch You To Fix Snowman Truck Of Smokey And The Bandit Jerry Reed Semi-truck And To Fix Bandit Of His Car Of Smokey And The Bandit And I Want To See Both Please Okay Mark From Alex Gomez
Wow those mudflaps are half the show..c'mon... woohoo...I saw that and had to jump on here and comment about them...lord have mercy bandit..ha..haaaaa...lol.well Better get back to it....thanks twinsticks garage family 🤎🇨🇦✝️🇺🇲
Wicked Mark! Absolutely wicked! Wife for the win! Loved her little bits in there! That bike is really cool. Good idea to get the blood circulating in the legs. Well deserved prize. Well done sir!
Well deserved award Mark!! Great job on Project Snowman. I'm so jealous! It's that movie that got me wanting to drive transport for a living. 23 yrs so far. I'm glad ya have this channel. One problem thou. Now I wanna build a truck🤦 Thanks for doing this. From New Brunswick.
Mark, it was so very nice to see your truck and trailer here. My dad used to haul for Monarch Transport out of Edmonton. He would haul beer for Labatts and Molsons back in the early 70,s. His Kenworth was probably an older 1960's Kenworth narrow nose. I have many fond memories of riding along with him in the cab and that smell of diesel has never left my mind. He would haul out of Edmonton to Great Slave Lake and to Yellowknife and beyond. On the ice roads long before Ice Road Truckers was on the tube. I have followed your videos and I think my Brother Rod still has photos of his tractor and the fleet back in the day. Thank you Mark.
Congrats on the first place trophy. You dedicated those long hours after your day job and it shows and I would not be surprised by how many people stop by to see the bandit truck & trailer. Not to mention you did it in you shop and not so ideal conditions but you did what you did and it looks great. This is what it means to learn as you go building a dream truck and exactly how others do the same thing in their shop/garage. Now let see how the Bandit car will come out of this and looking forward to seeing what you can do on it. Other mentions it was cool seeing the auto hauler with the two Chevy truck on it and the double trailer flatbed was very cool to see with the tri-axel bogies on it. Where I live in the state of Minnesota I went to one of those big rig shows and got to see the same thing of seeing those trucks lit up at night a few years ago. And it was my first time seeing that type of show and I am glad I went to it. My hats off to you and would gladly shake your hand on a job well done
12:31 I'm thinking about the boy's that would have had to adjust the slack's before & after the smasher..... Really trucking by feel back in the days eh LOL
At least three Kenworth trucks were used as Snowman's rig in Smokey and the Bandit. Two of them were 1974 models with silver emblems on their grills; the third has a 1973 gold 50th anniversary emblem. The Snowman likely had 2 trailers in the movie as well. Back in '79 the 2 trailers & 2 original trucks allegedly burnt down in a warehouse on universal studios truck lots, I don't know that this is true I've several stories about them.Rumors suggest one of the truck/trailers didn't burn and was last seen in a field in Fauke Arkansas. Many rumors persist as to what happened to these icons. It's likely we'll never know.
the E-bike thing is actually really smart, I've been visiting the big city more often to see my partner and I got sick of how awful it was to find parking so I got a folding E-bike that I keep in my car so I can park outside the city and we can ride 2 up on this little thing to bop around to wherever we wanna go without needing to spend a ton of money on parking or tire ourselves out walking everywhere it even folds small enough to mount to the sissy bar on a motorcycle so we have the same option when the weather is nice and we can get the Harleys out of storage
What I find funny about the movie is that Sheriff Justice doesn't care about all the Coors in Snowman's truck. The only reason he's chasing Snowman & Bandit is because of Frog.

Well done Mark.
And nice commentary from Mrs Twinsticks.
Even though mark did all the work, who else feels that they was a part of this build, Smiling this whole episode.

If more drivers had the same mindset you do the roads would be a heck of a lot safer. We drivers appreciate you.

3:17 NO WAY! My OTHER LOVE, bikes especially BMX while I was growing up & NOW, ebikes! Mark, you're a man after my own heart and own all my favorite toys now for sure!
Hey Marc, been a blast to meet you on the show and have a little chat! Congrats on the trophy, you really earned it!
A ton of great trucks, but I still like yours the best! Incredible job!
there is a couple companies here in the central usa that are super nice going down the road, they get a chrome allowance each month to chrome up their trucks. its farmers oil and accord transport, they haul propane and oil tankers, and the tankers are all painted and chromed out too
Awesome job! Congratulations on the trophy!

Dang! Snowman looks sharp. First show and you come away with a trophy! With such a beautiful rig, it would have been a crying shame if you hadn't won a trophy.
Congratulations all the hard work paid that smile on your face was priceless way to go Mark and kudos too Mrs Twin Sticks for putting up with it 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Did I miss something? Did you pick up a second trans am or is that a new addition to the channel?
Parts car 👍
Been here since LBL episode 4. Glad to see your efforts be recognized, and making me look forward to Thursdays more than Fridays
Your wifes drive commentary had me sniggering for a few minutes
Congratulations on the win at the truck show. Looking forward to watching the Trans Am build on your channel. Looking forward to when you can show the truck and car at a show.
Congrats🤩 first place for hard work. thank you for all the great Episodes. Mark you did a fantastic work, greatings from Germany
Mark I think you got the star of the show😊😊
Congratulations on the trophy i was hoping for. It was my first truck show I ever attended, you got my vote . I'm one of the creators of the gladiator and own the truck and is for sale now. Thanks for the positive comments and great videos.
Beautiful rig👌
Such an awesome video, and trucks, and people! So, you really need to talk your missus into getting herself a truck, or at least a car from HER favorite movie/tv-series and have her work on it! 😄👍
Keep up good work! 😛
Picked up a TransAm for her already: ruclips.net/video/-LLdoQDxKdY/видео.htmlsi=pIRTRuDeK7DHjxSd 👀
Yes that will look awesome, but is it HER favorite though? 😛@@TwinStix
You should totally get a 1977 Pontiac Lemans too, that would be pretty epic! 😄😄 You can never have too many cars/trucks, right? 😉
Love your Kenworth an amazing job. Built like I told you in the beginning you should have done your frame gloss black not flat it's going to turn brown if you put any chemical it's going to stain and after time is going to look horrible if you would have done glass it would have been a lot easier that's the only complaint. And when you do your Peterbilt for the love of God paint the frame to match the truck do not do the frame and flat black again it just hides everything . It just represents the rest of the truck poorly
Flat black matches the movie trucks and I like it because it’s easy to fix if a spot gets nicked. Also flat black fades into the background and makes the paint and chrome on the truck stand out more in my opinion. That said, I am planning on painting the undercarriage of the #IronDuke gloss black for something different 🤔
@@TwinStix flat black just turned brown and just looks like shit over time . Look at semi casual they do their frames to match the cabs looks amazing you have the skills do thzt
@@TwinStix and the only reason I'm saying that cuz you're there anyways you're doing all that hard work and Edward suckling phone number for you would have said I wish I would have done lost or the color of the cab in the Peterbilt situation
Congrats. Well deserved. I couldn’t be more happy for a fella and a fellette. Thank you for sharing the journey, look forward to the future.
Congratulations on the award mark followed this build from the start and have loved every episode keep it up well done from mark in england
Hi Mark. I really appreciate every Video that you make. I Drive Lorries ( Trucks ) in England. Keep em Rolling Pal.👍
Atta Boy! Pulls off an award! Sweet!!!!
Congratulations Mark ,the reward for your hard work.
Awesome and well deserved after all your hard work mark.
Props to Mrs. Sticks for the camera work
It was awesome meeting you twin stick's I was the kid who you gave a sticker and a t shirt daycab company and told me about split rings at night! What an absolute pleasure meeting you twin stick's keep on trucking!
Way to go Mark ! Thanks for the ride along . Hope to be back in Alberta in a couple of years, and come to the show.
Had to watch this vid twice. I'm thrilled for Twin Sticks. Brings a tear to my eye to see the realization of his goal. Well done and congrats Mark.
Well done on your award, everyone can see your passion and attention to the smallest details.
"Congrats and well done" to the whole TwinStix family. All of your time, money and work was most definitely not in vain.
Awesome show and awesome video.
Thanks for all your efforts and time to bring it to us out here.
Can't wait to see the T/A done and in partnership with the rig.
Hat's off to you and your lovely wife!!👍🇧🇲
Mark that show is nice but you've never been to Louisville Kentucky show there's 1,000 of trucks in that show the best show and expo for trucking..you really need to make plans to fly there this year..or better yet drive snowman
Lesco show was great, and yours, along with your good wife, was a well deserved win. Just a tiny point of interest, I watched the movie again a couple days ago, and noticed something I hadn't noticed before, that the license plate light shining, is just to the right, of the trailer left brake/tail light. On your trailer it's in the middle over the trailer license plate. Bit like yourself with my cars, the tiniest details missed, or not correct, I have to change or correct. Your work is impeccable. Take care.
Congratulations on the award Mark, well deserved! And of course, congratulations on the completion of the Snowman rig! It's been a great journey and I'm glad to have been able to follow the whole transformation from the beginning (which already seems like eons ago). I have to commend you on sticking to your goal and getting it done in time for the show - despite the long hours that were spent put this truck & trailer together (especially these last few months), it was clearly worth all that time and effort. For many years to come, you'll be able to sit back with a Coors in hand, look at it in your shop, and say "I built that!"
Awesome job Well done Mark and Mrs.twinstick Congratulations. Safe Travels and God bless. Enjoy watching your videos. 👍10-4 HOBBS mudflaps Awesome love the look.

Mark gefeliciteerd met je prijs. Groeten aan mis twinsticks.
Don't forget to put "NOT FOR HIRE" decals on your cab if you're headed stateside, truck looks amazing, congratulations from Vancouver BC
Well deserved award Mark!! Great job on Project Snowman. I'm so jealous! It's that movie that got me wanting to drive transport for a living. 23 yrs so far. I'm glad ya have this channel. One problem thou. Now I wanna build a truck🤦 Thanks for doing this. From New Brunswick.
Mark, it was so very nice to see your truck and trailer here. My dad used to haul for Monarch Transport out of Edmonton. He would haul beer for Labatts and Molsons back in the early 70,s. His Kenworth was probably an older 1960's Kenworth narrow nose. I have many fond memories of riding along with him in the cab and that smell of diesel has never left my mind. He would haul out of Edmonton to Great Slave Lake and to Yellowknife and beyond. On the ice roads long before Ice Road Truckers was on the tube. I have followed your videos and I think my Brother Rod still has photos of his tractor and the fleet back in the day. Thank you Mark.
Congrats on the first place trophy.
You dedicated those long hours after your day job and it shows and I would not be surprised by how many people stop by to see the bandit truck & trailer.
Not to mention you did it in you shop and not so ideal conditions but you did what you did and it looks great.
This is what it means to learn as you go building a dream truck and exactly how others do the same thing in their shop/garage.
Now let see how the Bandit car will come out of this and looking forward to seeing what you can do on it.
Other mentions it was cool seeing the auto hauler with the two Chevy truck on it and the double trailer flatbed was very cool to see with the tri-axel bogies on it.
Where I live in the state of Minnesota I went to one of those big rig shows and got to see the same thing of seeing those trucks lit up at night a few years ago.
And it was my first time seeing that type of show and I am glad I went to it.
My hats off to you and would gladly shake your hand on a job well done
Mark now you need to get the portable hammock. Relaxing in the hammock watching the movie. If you nod off everyone would understand.
12:31 I'm thinking about the boy's that would have had to adjust the slack's before & after the smasher..... Really trucking by feel back in the days eh LOL
At least three Kenworth trucks were used as Snowman's rig in Smokey and the Bandit. Two of them were 1974 models with silver emblems on their grills; the third has a 1973 gold 50th anniversary emblem. The Snowman likely had 2 trailers in the movie as well. Back in '79 the 2 trailers & 2 original trucks allegedly burnt down in a warehouse on universal studios truck lots, I don't know that this is true I've several stories about them.Rumors suggest one of the truck/trailers didn't burn and was last seen in a field in Fauke Arkansas. Many rumors persist as to what happened to these icons. It's likely we'll never know.
Congratulations Mark on your reward. Well deserved. The truck and trailer looks amazing.
the E-bike thing is actually really smart, I've been visiting the big city more often to see my partner and I got sick of how awful it was to find parking so I got a folding E-bike that I keep in my car so I can park outside the city and we can ride 2 up on this little thing to bop around to wherever we wanna go without needing to spend a ton of money on parking or tire ourselves out walking everywhere it even folds small enough to mount to the sissy bar on a motorcycle so we have the same option when the weather is nice and we can get the Harleys out of storage
CONGRATS!!!! Need to build a Convoy Rubber Duck truck
Love the Bandit 2 truck, wish we had truck shows like that here in the UK.!! Are you gonna build a convoy Rubber Duck for your collection???
How this people will drive a electric truck !!!😢😢
What I find funny about the movie is that Sheriff Justice doesn't care about all the Coors in Snowman's truck. The only reason he's chasing Snowman & Bandit is because of Frog.
