Great War truck Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 My cousin just sent me this photo that he took while out for a ride in the country. Today's question is, what is he riding in? A bonus point is available if you can identify the location. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c309/Greatwartruck/BOMBERB17RIDE83107117.jpg[/img] Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Well it looks like England, but I thought it was not possible to "have a ride" unless you were part of the crew or the Sally B organisation :dunno: In which case would it be USA? or France?
