Glen Hennessy Gday glen I think someone should start a bicentennial superliner register to find out where they all are now and who owns them

Memories of Paul Constantino's Bicentenary Superliners "bagging" us up on the Hume Highway many years ago now ~ but with a little more "pace on" ~ Running with the Overnighters ~ Wards, Kwikasair, Comet, Ipec etc ~ oh how times have changed ~ Days when you could Overnight Melbourne - Brisbane without any problems what so ever !!! These Bicentenary Superliners were some of the Best trucks that Mack Australia has ever produced, hands down !!!

i remember bringing a couple of them bicentenary superliners down from the factory at wacol to melbourne back in 88, on the back of an R model with 8 pallets of general up the front. i backed it on as that was the only way it would fit and i remember it overhanging the back by about a metre, with the steer sitting right on the rear combing. one of them coming down, i noticed coming into west wyalong that it seemed to be over on the left a bit much so had to pull into the shell their and let the chains all off and start her up so i could reposition it. then i rechained it. The newell was a goat track back then and there was no air bags about at that time. and of course we all drove differently back then as well. most glamorous loads i ever carted i'd say. they attracted a lot of attention coming down back then i can tell you.

I had a poster of the bicentennial trucks on my wall. Been a truck mechanic in England for 20 years now. Would love nothing more than to jam some gears on this rig

They only wobble when someone with no idea attempts to secure them. LOVE the spiders & chromies!!

A produce shop here in Armidale had one of these bicentennial Superliners pulling a tipper. Can't remember the name of it but I sure remember the sound of it. Holy shit that thing cracked!
