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.

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...

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...

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...

you write in a fascinating way, keep it coming. When driving back from Germany to the Czech Republic, saw this one recently along the road.

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.

Make it into a garden Tiny House for rent, with separate outhouse.

I can't believe I did this, but I voted for a, what Ron said "5 ton wheel clog" ;)

Any news happening? Mine is now 12 years in the Czech Republic under the slogan "next week I will have time and will re-start working on it" rofl Famous last words known by many of us here. By now, Master Break Cylinder, the air cylinder and the faulty left front brake have been repaired...

That's a much better time for me.

:lost: Is this rally now happening under another name? Or is it really a dead thing now? I had plans either this or at the latest next year to hook up with the community, but don't know where to go anymore??????

Can't find it so quick, but there was a thread here were somebody actually made either a cargo bed or a dump bed to fit on a fifth wheel. Even more elegant, though a bit more work is the solution I found which actually works: switching between dump truck or tractor. If you have workshop with...

make sense, if you run dry, just open the tank of the nearest truck or tank and siphon off some diesel. Much easier than from little gas cars :)

MSGJD, nice collection of trucks in your 2019 picture

I am also waiting for the stories and pictures of the wrecker

One month later: any progress?

Thanks Swiss and Demilitarized for sharing. Still miss him.

Landrover Shorland, as used by the Royal Ulster Constabulary (actually, the UK police force in Northern Ireland) during the Troubles

I really thought at a first glance that the orange M51 was the candidate for this month's vote, so I was ready to pull the trigger (I am a sucker for Orange and for M51s) . Then I realized it was the wrecker. Whatever, it was under he right name. I will vote early for once, so I don't forget...

Making a preferred date could help put some urgency in there. However, it is rather risky to fix that date without being sure the preferred location is available and that somebody is going to do the paper work and leg work to make sure it will happen. And after one month, we still do not have...
