Normandy or Bust

Fantastic story Tony our WC54 has refused both attempts to get her to Normandy in the last ten years and sadly funds and work schedules have ruled out the attempt this year so good luck and safe journey to everyone completing the trip and please take lots of pictures of your pride and joys for those of us stuck back home.

Hopefully Steve my WC54 will be back there after 70 years. You all know the story, she has to get there! Problem at the moment is trailer wiring, but 5 m of 7 core and a couple of hours should cure that.

If you should need parts for Dodge, Jeep and GMC in Normandy then its good to know

Wildenberg MV parts in in Asnelles, near Arromanche.

 

Say hi to Ronny from me if you're at their trailer.:-D

 

Something tells me I may need them :-D

Hope the trip goes well for everyone and Tony I look forward to seeing pictures of Katy on the beach, willenberg were a godsend in 2004 when we had to leave the jeep outside the campsite due to a night time candle lit parade and 'bits' were liberated. Ronny was 5 minutes walk away and saved the trip, highly recommend their treasure trove of a trailer and unusually fair prices.

Well we got there and back with no issues. Hope everyone else did. It was an awesome time, so many people there, lots of Vets, so many MVs it was must have been like 70 years ago to the locals. I will put some pictures up later. If you're on Facebook I've done some on there already (Rosie Rixon)

Glad everything went well for you Rosie, in my experience you can't beat a well looked after GMC for reliability. Looking forward to seeing your photos on here.
