abn deuce

You can be proud of a very hard job completed , I wish you had someone to work with you just in case anything were to happen at least they could resque you or call for help .Do you keep a cell phone in your pocket just in case ?

HI ! I hope the weather holds as several of the other forum members are saying it will . Please post anything you can after the show , Wish I could be there first hand perhaps next year .

Great shot's

found the sheet music and lyrics so far, it does date back to 1913 http://www.geocities.com/dferg5493/getoutandgetunder.htm I did find the mp3 finally here its link it takes a moment to load http://turtleservices.com/hedhave.htm heres the bubble car song on you tube <Beep Beep> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PchlV3UCaM&feature=related three wheels on my wagon on you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ9LOPWrZwk Johnny Cash sunday morning coming down

Either all still's or all video clips or a mix I think it would be awesome to see how creative people can be ,as for the song you might have a cracking good idea . I know I have heard it but cant find it on you tube I ll will have to google it .

Very nice and didn't need any WD-40 to give it that WET look .

Nice to see the vehicles out and about , Don't always need an event to give them a little drive ,beside you never know who may spot the vehicle and want to chat with you .

That would be great. I m hoping others with say what they feel about the idea, do you like the choice of song? anyone have a better one ? should there be a couple of different theme's with differnet songs for different content like relic's , event's , display's or ???? or all mixed as the tractor clip was ? This isn't just for me , I 'd want it done for the HMVF group and the hobby a tribute .

I have this video on my Favorites list on Youtube and have wondered if one or more of the Forum members Could create a Video showcasing all the different HMV's We all share on this Great site . I know there are loads of stills and video's here on HMVF ....while I dont have the savy to do it myself, I 'd enjoy seeing what can be made. So check this clip out I spied a WWII Cletrack and there's also a photo of ....I m pretty sure is CW !!!

The correct reply is " Money can't buy Love " but with enough of it you can rent it by the hour for a very long time !!

If you have lots of drilling to do There is a nifty device to help keep those bits as sharp as new , not sure if its sold in Europe it's called "the Drill Doctor" its a enclosed grinding wheel with a bit holder that postions the bit in the correct angle to sharpen the bits properly . Just a thought , I wanted to pass along . I dont have any connection with them

is that standard goverment issue equipment , for British units ?

There are tire skirts or shields for tires that are sold through a verity of sources such as RV dealers that will help protect tires on Vehicles from Ultra violet damage if the vehicle must be parked outdoors all the time the other cause is ozone damage if I m not mistaken , not sure if you can do much about that other that using tire dressing or tire protector like Armour all or other material to try and seal the rubber from harmful materials

it's likely a short pintel as used on a Jeep post mount but I have not idea about the clamp thats being used to attach that the the roll cage .

found two clips on Goliath's of You tube might they be one and the same machine ? They are not the same as what's on milweb by the way .

I dont recall ever seeing that , I will have to check it out once my finances recover .Thank you for the link and info .

Dispite the problems seems you may have beaten the Goblin as the OT-90 ran and moved with out problems and you made the day for those engineer's !!!! AS they say adapt and overcome . Very glad the problems were worked out , hope you dont suffer to long term as a result.

Good question , From what I gathered it was mostly the United States with Britian and France picking up part of it through the use of the staging bases , aircraft and personal . It's about the Wests response as what to do about the plight of the Berliners if they would/could supply them , how far would the West go to stop the Soviets from squeezing the Americans, British and French out . In the course of things an additionial airport was needed and was built in the French sector , there were two radio towers that were located close to the flight paths and they tried to make a deal to replace the towers that Soviets were using to broadcast propaganda, After many offers that were refused the Soviet's finially angered the French through broken promises and the French then demolished the towers , when asked by the Soviet commander how could they do it, the French commander replied ....."With dynamite - from the base" As far as I recall it never does not spell out exactly the total cost or who payed what . There is a interesting note that when the Berlin wall and by extention the Soviet union's collapse the amount of stock piled material West Berlin had amassed JUST in case a blockcade had ever happened again included.... 132 million pounds of wheat,52 million pounds of canned meat,15 million pounds of butter,11 million cans of sardines and 18 million rolls of toilet paper. The German government offered this to the Soviets .

In the last photo is the rubber missing or was that built that way ?

So you tried to quit cold turkey ? O.D. fever never lets you get to far or for too long before demanding you come back for another fix We can't allow you to leave us for good then where would all of us be !

Fever it starts when your a Yoof and continues to fester and Grow stronger with each year at first book's ,dvd's and magazines hold it at bay at first but at some time the itch to get some really O.D. a vehicle takes hold take you time to find what's right for you ask questions opinions gather the facts then plunge in to ownership !! thats the way to go . Oh yeah Welcome to the forum step right through the doors to the club house most are at the bar so come in for a sip of your favorite beverage .

I ll keep my fingers crossed its a LONG way from starting the restoration to it once again steaming under its own power , I have a video of a restoration of a former PT boat on the west coast of the USA they had the ship almost completed when a fire broke out due to some faulty wiring during the night , it did tremendous damage BUT they started again and did finish her finally the dvd's named Devil boat the saga of PT 658 .
