mike16 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 hello, I'm from Bisbee Arizona. I am just starting to get into the military vehicle end of the business. Enourmous numbers of military vehicles around. Lots of rust free stuff. My other interests are anything aviation, Pontiacs and Chevy and GMC trucks. I lived in England back in the 70's as a child and have always had the greatest memories from that time. I remember their being WWII military vehicles all over England, Scotland, Holland ,France and Belguim back them and it always facinated me. Currently I'm looking at a 1.5 ton Chevy Cargo truck. Been watching it for a long time. I'm hoping to buy it in the next couple of months. We'll see. Until then I gues I'm a spectator. Sorry about the spelling, Not only did I go to public school but I taught there too:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6 X 6 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hey Mike16, Since reading your post I've spent most of the day in a state of incomprehension just wandering around repeating "rust free", "rust free". Sounds like truck heaven. Stuff here rusts before your very eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 A friend of mine swears by a satnav, which we call Satbitch because "she" gets on our nerves when she goes random en France. Navving the Somme or Flanders is something I prefer to do with a map because I've drawn so many extra bits on mine (IGN blue series). But the new software transferring all the trench maps on to a sat system (the software is 250 quid) is bloody amazing using one of those palm thingies and I am sorely tempted. I am fifty next year and it could be an ideal present from my adoring family, if they haven't left by then. The French army maps are being added this year. This sort of technology I appreciate...my temperamental Panasonic dvd player, I do not. MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 That sounds interesting Mark, I will have to look into some of this modern stuff as I have just had a so called 'landmark' birthday but stopped my family buying anything until something turned up that I wanted. I have never felt the need for satnav as I am lucky in being blessed with a good sense of direction and the ability to look at a map, pick a route and then just go which stood me in good stead in over 2 million miles of truck driving.
