    MV of the month March 2025 nomination

    This probably is also a not-allowed entry, but maybe for an honorable mentioning: Rudy, the T34 my blacksmith son's apprentices made for this year's "masopust" ( Shrovetide, the 2- or 3-day European historic version of Carnival). FYI, this is just keeping my hand in; hopefully this spring I...

    MV of the month February 2025 nomination

    Since we have so few contestants, can I submit this one? :) I can put it outside in the snow if you want. It's a Scammell Pioneer Recovery Vehicle, by Lesley Matchbox. Lesley mentions it as a Scammell Breakdown Truck. Has been in my possession for over 55 years

    Project Frankentruck - Man Kat1 8x8 + Ameritek CF4000L Firetruck

    You are a brave man to just cut all those wires and hoses; hope you made lots of pics and descriptions beforehand so you build it back together. That is always my mistake: 10 years later I often don't understand my own picture and note sequence anymore when rebuilding. Or lost them altogether.

    Project Frankentruck - Man Kat1 8x8 + Ameritek CF4000L Firetruck

    My Friend, that is not really a winning strategy with the German police somewhere on a road who stop you. Having to pay for the towing service that tows an illegal vehicle from the road will be the least of your problems. Most countries have this little sentence "you are supposed to know the...

    R.I.P.--73M819--Ron Harris

    Hi Amanda, welcome. I met your father for the first and, unfortunately, last time at the 2014 GA rally. Somehow, I ended up first in Swiss' tent close to Ron's place and later, after Swiss came, had a small tent next to your father's TeePee. We spent most mornings drinking coffee...

    Project Frankentruck - Man Kat1 8x8 + Ameritek CF4000L Firetruck

    At least for such things, I would love to live in the USA. If you would do anything like that anywhere in the EU, the national authorities would say that this car is no longer the original vehicle but a new vehicle, and as such needs a new homologation (national type approval). You don't want...

    ONLY 1 Day Left ! .. Airframe, Huey, UH1H, 1-each, OD .. GSA auction in rhode island

    A bit of paint and a few boards and it looks as good as new. What about mounting some floats under the landing gear, you could use it as a fishing boat. Probably don't need a fishing rod; the fish will come up floating from laughing or shock.
