Like they say, forgetting a camera or not knowing where your car keys are is no problem, when you don't know anymore what they are used for, then you really have a problem. And doing 1200 miles in 48 hours, things can't be that bad really. [thumbzup]

In an earlier post, there was Nove Hrady as well in my location. Actually, both are correct and you are welcome at both places. Kojakovice is our Czech Emigration Museum, Nove Hrady is our blacksmith workshop. I offer our places as a cheap alternative for a meet, but from logistics point of...

Please put "Kojakovice" with my name as location. Meeting: I am definitely in, but will NOT come with an MV: too expensive to drive long distance, and I do not trust the brakes enough for any trip yet.

Welcome! Time to start thinking about a European SteelSoldiers meeting with the increasing tally of members in this nick of the woods.:beer::beer:

I will get active once I am back at my main computer with the pictures. For now, the most important pics from the repair activities in the Netherlands as I showed them in last month's competition. . . The truck in it's original form as 6x6 dump truck, removing the dump bed, and the...

Just came back after a long day, and ending it with a good pizza with some glasses of wine. Makes it very difficult to read that diagram, seeing everything double. Will try again tomorrow morning :beer:

Couldn't find a boat, but SEVEN is not enough for a good competition, so I will throw in my truck again .. in the race that is, not in the pool .rofl

Because you can and it helps save some interesting thingies from the scrapyard

Forget the WHAT, did not see the last sentence, so occupied by the pic. Where though ...?

WHAT is that, and where can I get one? All the "lakes" in our region, and there are thousands, are century-old artificial fish ponds up to 1,500 acres, and all have a nice ramp for the wagons and now trucks to load the fish. https://www.trebonsko.cz/rybnik-rozmberk...

tomorrow I will get my boat (that is .... BUMP)

The only two East European jeeps in the convoy, the here very popular and more or less affordable GAZ 69s A guy in our village we know now has also a UAZ 452 Ambulance in addition to his Praga V3S (eastern version of a Deuce) The UAZ has the European version of a pintle hook.

Some more pics from the encounter . . . . . . . And a real BMW motorcycle with sidecar And finally .... wait for it ...

Saw these people when driving back home, they were just taking lunch. A group of MV enthusiasts from the Ceske Budejovice area in South Bohemia, Czech Republic. I especially like the Dodge (WC 52?) More to come

I am looking for my boat

I have done a reversible 5-ton M51A2 dump-truck-tractor conversion. Also looking at the earlier mentioned link on the conversion why not make a dual frame like the the real dump trucks have (at least the M51 and the 815, probably the M925 as well)? Just copy the extra frame or get it from a...

Probably the last days the water is OK to jump in. View from the back garden of our historic blacksmith workshop. We put the pool there to give our grandchildren a much needed close-by cool-off and plaything. At night floating around looking at the stars is also nice

By now you should not have been. A lot of the most active members here are "gentlemen of a somewhat older persuasion". We now can follow ferro's lead and start a petition for a "SteelSoldiers Watch Forum". Your watches are this typical small, ignored, but very essential item. Personally, I...

To jump or not to jump, let's wait a little longer

Let me elaborate a bit. My 1965 M51A2 Dump Truck did not have ANY registration when I bought it. I took the long road and made it completely street legal as a Kaiser Jeep Corporation dump truck. I got new registration backdated to 1973, making it a normal 1973 dump truck WITHOUT any reference...
