  1. Beltring 2001, rain!!!

    We were in a little tent and a Jeep getting claustrofobic. :nut:

    Next day woke up from a mobile phone which kept on rining- aaaarrrrrggghh :argh:

    Turned out to be a alarmclock on a laptop.

     

    A few guys arrived in a Champ in the Rain (Sirhc).

     

    When we got out the tent we were surrounded by vehicles and tents. :|

    We got to meet the guy from the alarm and his mates and been friends ever since :flower:

     

    We were glad we were alone and not with a large group of Dutchmen, that we you go and find someone to talk too. :banana:

    Also, we talk Dutch all the time. Nice to meet Brits and show of our English. :cofee:

     

    Morale of the story :? Hell, :evil: I don't know, bring your own meaning...

    Hope to meet a lot of you so keep a Icecold Cola for me in the fridge... :hug:

  2. I have just returned fron the Somme, where along with another IMPS member, we provided 2 Dodges as support vehicles to the Somme March.

    It has been the most moving experience of my life.

     

    Lest We Forget.

     

     

    Tell us more!

    Any photo's?

  3. Hi Joris

    My brothers Jeep had wire troubles, it didn't recharge the battery.

    Because we're total electrical dimwits (got zapped by 220V twice in a few weeks at work) we just replaced 1 wire at a time.

    Time consuming but it worked for us.

    Also discovered some wires which ran from nowhere to nowhere.

     

    From seeing myself in the Ardennes the WC 51 driving fast in deep water gets you into troubles because the bumper scoops the water into the enginebay, the WC 52 is "safer"in that respect.

  4. Hi Guys

    After wearing a original p-40 BD pants I decided to make a repro from a p-49 one.

     

    Lots of work but it worked, not perfect but damn good if I do say so myself.

    Had to sacrifice a 2nd to make the firts aid pouch.

     

    I made 1 for myself and a size 16 to sell but bids here in Holland aren't very high yet.

  5. Here in the Netherlands Veterans Day is June 29th, offcourse not a national holiday :argh:...

    Like 5 May (our liberationday), TV commercials urging people to remember and celebrate BUT since 1995 not a national holiday anymore :banghead:...and we haven't got many national holidays.

    Dutch (governmental) HYPOCRISY at its best..... :blush:
