    The US stuff or real Budweiser Budvar? Actual, it is not that popular in the Czech Republic itself by real beer lovers, I am told. Then again, I am not a real beer drinker myself, so what do I know? What I do like are the occasional Belgian "brown beers" like Rochefort, Leffe, Westmalle.

    Some people would say that the best beer is in the Czech Republic, which has the origins of the pilsner beers and off course Budvar. :beer: Maybe we should make a tasting here and there?

    Soldier, you can have many more years in front of you, but you have to set your priorities, and counter these problems from three sides. Unless there is already a serious organ problem involved, these things can be gotten under control. Most of it your doc will have told you as well. 1)...

    First moment I saw it my gut said "Ausies in the Asian theater". Maybe shortly after the war?

    Towing 5-ton with running engine

    mostly they work with single tow bars in Europe. Towing with chain without good brakes does not sound like good idea. Maybe pushing the truck would be an alternative, easier to keep the combo straight?

    Towing 5-ton with running engine

    I am trying to get our M51 to our blacksmith workshop to make an exhibition on 30 year cold war. Engine is running but brakes are not ok and I do not have veteran plates yet. And to scared to drive the truck solo without knowing 100% the brakes will not fail. If I have the engine running, can...

    Tracer, good video to show how big that s***** is; calling it Big Boy is a bit of an English understatement.

    Big Boy Engine rolls again This caught my eye this morning while checking how the world is going to heck in a basket: After nearly 60 years off the tracks, the world's largest steam locomotive roars Back on the rails for the first time in six decades, the only operational Big Boy steam engine...

    1944 Federal 606 C2 Wrecker

    Often new tires exceed the purchase of "scrap yard saves", especially if you really buy new or 80% tires because you need 10 of them. I only bought reasonable tires for the front, the rear has four on each side, so they still have the old original worn down US army tires.

    MAN KAT US owners?

    To me, the logo looks like an angry fox, with an X to the right and something illegible to the left. Quick search on fox and nbcrs show that "the Fox NBCRS carrier was originally developed for the German Army" . Next search: M93/M93A1 Fox Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Reconnaissance System...

    Correct Square orange shield: danger. 30: flammable liquid. 1202 fuel oil or diesel oil: you have time to run away before it explodes.

    Didn't know that, not sure the Dutch did the same, but I will check.

    Tracer, thanks for the remark, but I did not do that much (tried but did not work), whatever. If you need a quick translation of something, let me know. 1078MAN, thanks for the link. I don't think that this type of MAN was ever made in 5 axle, but the 4-axle was well-known on this side of the...

    And UK to German or German to UK is the best of google's translations. Sometimes I write something in UK and let Google translate it in Czech. Most people start laughing or ask what the heck this is, then say they do not understand a word of it.

    That is really a truck to have fun with using it. Great. As you said, they stand out and are something special. The Dutch DAF military trucks are similar. Strange but ingenious and fun.
