No worries, not your fault mate. Just annoying bureaucrats.

So I emailed in the letter, and got a reply that they had the T-Shirt lined up to be deported back already. An emergency block now has been sent out by Czech Post to try stopping the deportation, and get it back into the arrival area so they can process it and let it through.:doh: aua aua

This t-shirt is getting a bigger problem than the bill itselfrofl PB - the letter came through, looks great with the official stamp, very impressive:papabear: So far so good ... BUT ... when opening your separate email, my email program took ages trying to open it and got stuck (PMail...

very funny guys, veeery funny. Ever having to ask your better half who hates phoning official people (stay-over from communist period :recovry4x4: ) to call these !@#@$#@@! customs and try get from them what is needed .... three times because they themselves cannot figure it out? Strange thing...

In the Netherlands and I think under EU law, in general a vehicle has to fulfill the requirements at the day of first registration. That is, if you drive a 1952-type Deuce or 5-ton but your specific truck was registered in 1973 (like mine) than you have to fulfill the 1973 rules. There are a...

The T-shirt of the cook-out that PB sent to me got stuck in the Czech customs department. They think a gift with a zero-value is not possible! Endless talking to no avail, they need a letter that the shirt has any value. PB check your pm box please

You need a co-driver? 2700 miles through the USA is right up there of things I would jump to, although the truck is a it on the young side.

Worth looking at: then and now

I don't want to rain on such a worthy parade, but be careful with that. I looked into such a scheme once also for an SS truck to save it to become scrap iron. According Georgia law, only a charity is allowed to run a raffle, and its almost impossible to do it legally online. The proceeds have...

right-click on the flag and save image. Then post it up as your avatar

I did not know Tigger apart from his posts, but he seemed a good man. The message of is sudden death touched me without really understanding why. Maybe my brother's death quite unexpectedly 5 months after our mother died (4 years ago now) has something to do with it, and some other close calls...

Best and worst States with respect to BMV for license plates and driver licenses

Get into the habit of topping up when you see a tank station after you pass your half-empty mark. Might sound a bit overdone, but it saves unexpected problems or having to rely on filled jerry cans (not bad to have one of those as well). And by then its time to stretch your legs and get another...

I am glad they did at least know that the Czech Republic existed. Just thought about it, I should have asked all you guys to sign it, that would have made it really special!

Not yet, I will inform as soon as I get it, but it mostly takes at least a week or 10 days, and with several bank holidays in Europe, it will take longer I would think. The skyping was fun but it would have been better to be there in the flesh. May 1 is celebrated here and also the end of WW...

During the excursion to World Heritage Town Cesky Krumlov, I saw this beauty in the town square. They planned a bigger event that weekend to re-enact the battle around Cesky Krumlov at the end of WW II. Being organizer of the conference, I could not jump ship to enjoy that event instead. Again...

As part of our Newcastles Conference 2014 we organized here in Nove Hrady (New Castle in Czech), we had three MVs parked next to the Iron Curtain open air museum, which is located at the border crossing between the Czech Republic and Austria. My first MV event and our truck was not there aua...

To be honest, while on normal roads without load, until now I only used high 1-2-3-4-5, which seemed to work OK, never used low and did not knew until I read about it here that you could use the low selector also when at higher speed. How do you shift low 5 to high 4? Clutch in and does not...

Title says it all. Just to help me and other confused newbies out. Can somebody with a video camera sit in a 5-ton truck from the M39 (also named as G744) truck series and go through the proper routine of shifting gears. Stop laughing. I do not mean 1-2-3-4-5 but all options, like when and...

Anybody out there awake? I want to connect but its off-line
