I'm sure I'll have a challenge or 2 .. but after recovering and preserving my HT from far far away, nothing with these great old vehicles surprises me much anymore .. where there's a will there's a check book :roll: !

Quick Update: The Queen has been sitting in storage for the last two years due to deployments with the exception of Touch A Truck and several other events... as I jokingly say, my buddy Todd has driven the Queen more than I have .. That is not say that I have not been busy... have had several...

ALCON: I have been deployed down-range with my troops in support of OEF since Mar 08. It now looks like we will be extended until Dec 09 so physical preservation work on the “Queen” has been put on hold for a while. That is not to say that I have not been busy gathering items for her...
