Great War truck Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 If you have not heard about this, there is a trans US MV convoy taking place. You can read all about it here: http://www.mvpa.org/ Two WW1 vehices that i have seen including this loveley FWD Model B described as a "Fourth wheel drive with a brass frame engine"??? http://www.army.mil/-news/2009/06/15/22702-past-meets-present-on-2009-transcontinental-motor-convoy/index.html Looks a nice job all the same.

Tim (too) he does of course mean "Four wheel Drive with a Wisconsin engine". Wisconsin - "brass frame" - easy mistake to make - if you are totally clueless.

Great War truck Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Loads more photographs today. http://www.thecourier.com/multimedia/military_convoy/publish_to_web/index.html Looks like some of the slow ones (FWD and Half track) did some of the journey on trailers. By Steves quick estimate the fuel cost for the FWD to do the whole journey would have been about £3,000. Expensive road trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
