Shreveport Louisiana to Louisville Kentucky

[Numbers]

Anyone near Shreveport want to haul a Weasel (will fit into the bed of a deuce) to Louisville Kentucky from Shreveport Louisiana ?

PM me for contact info and directions.

If you can get it to the Ga rally, I might be able to help.

Thanks for the offer.

Working out the details right now. Would prefer haul from Shreveport to Louisville. I will consider Georgia if left with no options.

Is there any options for placing the Weasel in the back of a rental truck ? My Deuce is a roadworthy deuce but it is not DAV friendly at the moment.

What is a weasel ?

What is your time frame on this, if it can wait to the first of the month then I can bring it to you in KY. I have a tire contract at Fort Polk and it wouldnt be far out the way to north LA to get it then bring it to KY. Gotta to be back in OH around the same time anyway. If this works out for your schedule I can bring it to you for a $1.25 a loaded mile. ( that SS members only rates and hard to find anything cheaper. It would be trailered on my gooseneck and insured at no extra cost ( another SS member benefit ) Just pm me if you want and we can work things out. Thanks Captain

Alredneck: It can wait until the first of the month.

Frodo: The idea for the Weasel came from the work of British inventor Geoffrey Pyke in support of his proposals to attack Axis forces and industrial installations in Norway. Pyke's plan to hamper the German atomic weapons development became Project Plough for which he proposed a fast light mechanised device that would transport small groups of commando troops across snow. In active service in Europe, Weasels were used to supply frontline troops over difficult ground when wheeled vehicles were immobilised.

Pyke was the inventor who suggested the construction of gigantic aircraft carriers from ice (known as pykrete).

Here is one of the many variants of a Weasel:

Dang...I wanna weasel!! If you can get that rascal to Columbus, Georgia I will bring it to Louisville, KY free...after I admire it til...oh say...May 2010?? My family lives about 1 1/2 hours from Louisville.
Guess that's too long though...

Papabear: Now at the end of said time, will it be restored ? If so we might be able to work something out j/k

 

[papabear]

Hmmm...numbers...dont know about restored...but it will be a pretty green color and well loved

 

[Numbers]

As long as by pretty green color you mean Lusterless Green we can still work something out

 

[frodobaggins]

Ah, neat little thing. Can I borrow it until next year ?

 

[Numbers]

Absolutely, right after Papabear gets the paint on it. What you plan to do for it's health ?

 

[frodobaggins]

I will keep everything lubed by driving it around the yard once a day.

 

[Numbers]

Might be worth it IF it was the ex-wife's yard

Might be worth it IF it was the ex-wife's yard

Where does she live, probably can't do it once a day, but will drive over her rose bushes as often as i can.

 

[Numbers]

Rose bushes are fine, just make sure she is pruning them when you do

Nope, she is further south than you are right now. Thanks for the offer anyways.
