M5Clive Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Not to unduely concern you Jack but....... Last night I got the opportunity to fire the Command Car up from Winter hibernation and do a Surprise 60th birthday taxi-run just East of Norwich, near the Norfolk Broads. I didn't make up my mind whether I was going to actually commit to the request until I woke up yesterday morning and saw the beautiful weather we had here in East Anglia. To cut a long story short (something I'm not particularly good at!) the chap needed to be delivered to a surprise 1940's party at 7.30pm. The Dodge fired up first turn of the starter (thank god for all WC-56's being 12 volt) and I stormed up the A140 from Stowmarket, the old girl singing her teriffic Dodge burble and running like a Swiss watch :wink: Anyway, point of the story Jack being - Have you been out lately in a rag-top vehicle and realised how bl**dy cold it is trundling the tarmac in a draughty MV? The sun kept me warmish on the journey up to Norfolk, but coming home last night under a stary sky and clear moon was less than warm. Funny enough as I donned my USAAF high altitude sheerlined trousers, B-3 sheepskin jacket and Eastman leather sheerline cap for the journey home, I thought of you Jack and your upcoming trip to Europe - As least you won't sweat to death marching in the chill :-D The Command Car is due to return to hibernation on Tuesday, but it was a great crack last night and I now have the funds to pay for the new canvas that I need before the start of next years show season :wink: PS - Both my Corcoran Jump Boots (purchased in 1998) and my more recent service boots purchased from Soldier of Fortune both rub in feet badly after even several years of show-season use! Best of luck Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whistlinwolf Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 WOOOO HOOOO !!! What a weekend, the 2nd Armored are a great bunch. One wild weekend with 9 tracks in total all kitted out and manned. The logistics alone to shift men and machine across europe must be a nightmare but they have it off to a tee. Only one complaint...... no snow !! But I suppose we can't hold the 2nd Armored responsible for that. Kinda get the impression if First Sgt Shady said snow, well it would snow. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a270/whistlinwolf/2006_12172006TracksBastogne0120.jpg[/img] http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a270/whistlinwolf/2006_12172006TracksBastogne0119.jpg[/img] http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a270/whistlinwolf/2006_12172006TracksBastogne0081.jpg[/img] Check out the link below for some hard charging Detroit turbo diesel. http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a270/whistlinwolf/?action=view¤t=2006_12172006TracksBastogne0126.flv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 great work Tim. Do you have any more images and how cold was it and did sleep outside ( choose your answer carefully as you could be accused as being a lightweight) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
