THE East Coast Convoy photo/video thread

[clinto]

OK, I am sitting in my hotel room about to go to bed after the last day of the Aberdeen Rally and was about to post some pics and I though it would be neat of everyone posted their pics and video on one thread. Like a "catch all" thread.

I am going to start a thread for the Aberdeen Rally pics and video as well.

Only issues we had on our portion (Atlanta March unit):

My Deuce had a transfer case leak, apparently some guy working on it overfilled it.... But once it blew the overage out, it stopped.

When I stopped at Aberdeen, the throwout bearing was making a little noise but I greased it tonight and it seems ok. The new windshields leak something awful, but look good. Oh well. Windshield wiper motor died in a rainstorm.

I will let Gasser tell you about his tire adventure.

Enjoy!

Ok, here are some pics below and a link to a complete list of ALL the pics (and video) I shot:

I don't know if this is the right place for these, as it was more the ride home than the Convoy, but I'll throw 'em up regardless.

Brandon and I left about 0900 on Sunday morning, rode down the I-40/I-85 split. He split off on 40, I stayed on 85 South.

I gotta tell you, it was a little scary being 400+ miles from home, by myself, with the sun going down, in a 40 year old Army truck.

But the old girl got me home.

Clinto, where did Cabell and Chuck go? Do we know their status?

 

[clinto]

They headed North to pick up a hardtop for Cabel's M37.

Have not heard from him, want me to call him?

 

[Recovry4x4]

Naw, I didn't know they had another mission.

Kenny,
Chuck and I went over to Hollywood, MD on the way home Sunday to pick up a hard top for my XM708 that a buddy had stashed at his place for me. His son graduated from VPI on Saturday, so he couldn't make it to the show (engineering graduate...).

The detour added a couple hours to the trip home, but we made it home alright with neither truck giving us any difficulties. Trucks are unloaded and awaiting post trip inspection and PM before heading out on the next trip (Saturday to Spencer ATHS/NCMVPA show at the old Southern Railway Shops that are now the State Transportation Museum).

I'm waiting on word from Gimpy about my M817... I promissed David Doyle that he could have a photo of it, and my XM708 (and hopefully, that duece dump of Jeff's) next year...

Thanks for asking about us.

Last I spoke with Gimp is he couldn't get it to run on its own fuel and they were going to tow it to Oilcans place.

More convoy pics! These were all taken at Ollies before the big entrance into the stadium.

Reviving a nearly 6 month old thread here, but it seemed like the right place to put this . . . .

I finally managed to edit a piece of video that I have been intending to share for some time now.

Many thanks to Armada for the great camera work as we zoomed? by. (and then trusting me with his original and only cd while I did some tinkering.

(Same video on YouTube also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xK8IlkOsfY )

[Westech]

Hey that was ME!

 

[bigmike]

Nice job on the video...thanks. I love the M342A2 following up the rear of the convoy. You gotta love the look of the dump truck.

 

[M1075]

Cool video! Did I see one of those radar gun trailers that shows your speed as you go by? I couldn't quite make out the numbers. What was the speed? Sounded like about 53 mph.

 

[ken]

Ther is nothing better than a column of Mv's on the highway! I'm going to have to head there next year myself.

 

[Westech]

It was a speed limit sign not a radar one. It said 65 mph.... bet we were doing a blistering speed of 50 mph

 

[gimpyrobb]

Well, uh, since you were BEHIND me, I bet you weren't!
