Paul Cootes’ stunning 1983 Mack Super-Liner Series I had eyes agog during the recent 2025 Silverback Show ‘N’ Shine National Championship at the Brisbane Truck Show.

Originally part of the highly regarded Joe Bromage fuel haulage business bought by his father Ian Cootes in 1987, a thorough in-house restoration process guided by brother Geoff has seen every detail meticulously crafted.

Painted in the red livery of Cootes Quarry Products, Paul admits the truck brings back wonderful memories for the brothers. “On Saturday mornings in our later teens we were allowed to take a ute to the Footscray depot and pick up a Super-Liner and tanker, drive it to the workshop in Seaford where we’d grease and wash it, the mechanics would go over the truck and tanker, and then we’d take it back again.

“Those trips were Utopia for Geoff and me and when we were a bit older Dad would let us do a run to somewhere like Shepparton. Of course, we’d also drive the other trucks which were mostly Kenworths but those Super-Liners were seriously special and as a young man, you felt very special driving them.”

Melbourne isn’t short of showcases for sporting spectacles. ‘The Cup’ has Flemington, tennis has Rod Laver Arena, and AFL and cricket have the mighty MCG. Yet long before the city’s esteemed FF1 Australian Grand Prixcan scream into action each year, a trendy inner-city oasis must be transformed into a world-class racing circuit. Just the thing to fuel two of Waverley Forklifts owner Charlie Schwerkolt’s prime passions – a buoyant business and very quick cars.

Black race suit, mirrored sunglasses and cigarette hanging from his lip, Tom Clifford looks like he’s just stepped off the set of the latest Mad Max movie.

As does his dystopian-looking ‘51 International. The matte black paint job is menacing, and the silver rivets its only bling.

Mockingly named ‘Climate Change’, this epic race truck sits on a Mercedes-Benz chassis and runs a 1271 Detroit diesel two-stroke which is deafening when started up.

“About 1,000 horsepower as well, plus we put 92 blowers on it,” a grinning Tom told us when ROADBOSS Magazine caught up with him on the dried-out salt flats of Lake Gairdner where he was pushing to crack the 150mph mark and break the record in a new class – a speed that would make it the fastest truck in the country.
