March 2011. Greetinngs from Illinois! Did they ever finish the restoration of the Malago or Torremelinos Cathedral? When I last saw it in 1971, they were still repair shell holes from the Spainish Civil War. At least a CUCV must be an odd vehicle in that part of spain. Did it come from a US...

February 16th, 2011. Any chance its the slobber pipe dripping on the axle? My M35A2 "Saddam's Nightmare" was tagged by a commercial truck shop guy in January 2008 as having a leaking wheel cylinder because of that... So far she has been driven about 8,0000 miles with only a slight top up of...

February 12th, 2011. :nothingfunny: May I say, as a connoiseur of the S404.114 from the Swiss Army, that that particular machine is light years beyond ugly. That one is like waking up in Austin, Texas with a beer hangover and that Unimog in your garage..... I suspect its a combination of...

February 10th, 2011. ZACK: Saddamsnightmare, in my icon annexed was purchased from BullDogMack13 as a hard top M35A2. I converted it to a soft top and retained the original cold weather cab which will be part of the truck's equipment when and if it is sold. All you have to do is hunt up...

January 25th, 2011. Gents: I don't know which are looser on here, the lugnuts or the towbar pins!;-) I fear some of our posters are gonna draw attention that they probably really don't want or need. Between you and I and the wall, the Romans probably had an EUC for used scorpions or war...
