MR: I want to buy an 818 just so I can get a set of tires like that for it. Looks great!

 

[DanMartin]

I believe they are HEMTT wheels/tires, right?

Great pictures, like the detail. Looks like you had a great time. Me too, did you get
to hear Jack Sherman's Market Garden talk? GREAT! WWII Vets are getting scarce and ones who'll talk are very rare.
I have some pictures too... http://groups.msn.com/WmsPixs/mvpa08.msnw
Thanks for showing your pictures, hope you can see mine.

Nope, didn't get to see his talk. My time at the convention was limited due to some travel happening right afterward.

Great pics!

OK, Who's going to be in Denver in 2010?

Gunny's new show?

 

[DanMartin]

I guess "Mail Call" is no longer, so he's starting up another show (same basic format) on another network...something like "Lock and Load" I believe was the name I heard...

 

[SteamboatWilly]

Yes!"Lock and Load"

As far as shows go, I was disappointed. The space was small and all of the vehicles on display were almost perfect. It wasn't worth the two hour drive from Northwest Mogfest in Sheridan, OR up to Portland.

The MTA of NJ puts on a better show and Aberdeen blows away the MVPA show.

Just my 2 cents

As far as shows go, I was disappointed. The space was small and all of the vehicles on display were almost perfect. It wasnI've never been to another MV show so I have NOTHING to compare it to but I do know it was nice to have something. I'll be bummed next year that I wont be able to go to anything like it again. Small maybe but the people were great, and I made some new friends. It was nice to talk to venders in person and to see such amazing vehicles. I really appreciated the effort that was put into it by both venders and members. For being up in the north west and right by the Ocean, I think it turned out nice. Small but nice. Thank you to all who put it on or participated in it. My wife and I had a great time just enjoying the Atmosphere.
