    Driving thru Canada

    I would do the same .. and buy a next one in the lower 48, drive it to AK, sell it ..... ad infinitum. Just for the fun of driving those trucks along the Alaska Highway and stop over in mile 422 Toad River Lodge for a coffee and the Liard Hot Springs for a refreshing bath and ... and .... and...

    Zout's Cookout

    PB, a flash of inspiration. For our conference here on Newcastles (starts April 28), we are going to make T-shirts as well. Once you have decided on the T-shirt, can you send me the layout your printer is using? I can sneak it into our order, so I will have a Cookout T-shirt that same weekend...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month April 2014 - Nominate here!

    That's human nature for you, same with the legal thread; enough readers but nobody sticks out a finger as we say in the Netherlands. My truck I want to nominate when I have it legally on the road after restoration, or at least when its safe drivable. Should be a winner as the only M512 A2 (or...

    Jack's Government Surplus

    Just looked at the older thread with the pics as well and googled the map and looked at street view and zoomed down with google earth and ... and ... and .... and .... sigh, why do I live on the wrong side of the ocean? How do they do it, how they get there? I know these people always...

    Heartbleed - Please read

    Start check your Android software, version 4.1 is vulnerable. And the NSA did know about it according some but not according their official press release. Funny now that everybody is hyping about smart phones, mobile internet, cloud computing, cloud storing etc etc, more and more it becomes...

    Heartbleed - Please read

    I saw this a few days ago and checked my bank sites etc. Beware, this bug is a flaw in SECURE websites (banks, internet payments etc) laying it open for hackers and the NSA, so the one site you thought was safe is wide open. In clear text: if in your URL you see the HTTPS and the green color...

    Legal Issues that could effect all MV Owners

    Once its formally sent to the Governor, any time before he has to sign it or it get signed automatically? (I know it was mentioned somewhere earlier, just don't have time to read all posts again to find it)

    New to me M54A2, and a few ?'s

    I have a VIN with nine numbers, first four, than a space, than 5 more. Starts with 5123 but its mentioned as a 1973 Kaiser Jeep. However, the engine may be from 1965 and was overhauled in 1973, so the entire truck maybe is a lot older than I think. Unless they put an old engine in a new truck...

    front coupling jaw for towing a 5-ton

    Had to look that word up, but turns out we have several of them in our blacksmith workshop and in our museum, for horse and ox-drawn ploughs or wagons. Pulling is not that much the problem, and a wiffletree would work good. The problem is the braking: how to do that smooths without the towed...

    Poor halftrack

    Yep, that's humans for you alright. :cookoo: :carnac: In the end, it is almost never about the money but all about emotions, the good ones (proud memories, love, honor) and the bad one's that make people little like spite, greed (still not about money), envy.

    Poor halftrack

    Nobody said the current owner is a "I'll restore it someday" type. Maybe for them its just a heirloom with a story that has a very practical function as well. They enjoy it and use it so why sell it? My late brother was like that. He inherited an over a century old cylinder desk (American...

    For those interested in special air force planes, keep an eye on the two-week international air forces exercise Frisian Flag 2014 in Friesland, the Netherlands. Lots of different planes from several NATO airforces together.

    Zout's Cookout

    Count me in for a T-shirt, probably XXXL (I'm a little bit over 6'2 or 188 cm) and I hate tight around the neck T-shirts. How did last year's T-shirt look? How's the Skype stuff coming along? Until now no early participants for our Newcastle of the World conference, so I actually might have...
