New from NH/NM

[RangerBob]

This seems to be where everyone is posting their introduction threads, so here I am!

I've been lurking around 'Steel Soldiers' for years, but now it's time to get a little more serious. You see, I just bought two military vehicles off of eBay in the last couple of days. So in the coming months I'm going to need a lot of help.

Once the final payments have been received (the checks are in the mail) and pickup arrangements made, I will be the proud owner of an M35A2 and an M43. I do need the M35A2 for hauling gear up and down my mountainside property in NH, but I just couldn't let the M43 pass me by. Someday I hope to add an M37 to the fleet, but it's gotta be in strata blue to match my 1963 Thiokol 601 USAF snowcat. Anyone know where I can pick up a USAF M37 with the remains of a decimated savings account?

So that's the nuts and bolts of it. More details? Ask...

Welcome RangerBob! I guess since you have the snowcat already, you know that your savings accounts will stay decimated! LOL! Enjoy!

Welcome to the site from the South-central area of NH.

What region of NH are you located in?

 

[RangerBob]

About 20 minutes north of Berlin.

 

[Ripcord01]

Welcome.

Wonderful region of the State, Bob. I was curious because we have a fairly active military vehicle club with a few members up North, but the bulk of the activity is down here in the Southern region of NH and into MA. You can see more at www.mvmvc.org if you're interested.

I have a house in Rio Rancho that I don't see much, maybe once every three months, since I'm on the road fulltime.

I will attempt to bring the 601 down for the Weare 2012 rally this July, so these two may get the chance for a side-by-side photo op! Gotta find a trailer...
