    R.I.P.--TIGGER--Matthew Helms

    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...

    Driving thru Canada

    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...

    Czech events last weekend

    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!

    Czech events last weekend

    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...

    Czech events last weekend

    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...

    Czech events last weekend

    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...

    Video of all ways of shifting gears on an M 39 - G744 5-ton truck

    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...

    Video of all ways of shifting gears on an M 39 - G744 5-ton truck

    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...

    Zout's Cookout

    The idea that I had a free Saturday and Sunday turned out to be a major illusion. What I did expected was being up to our head in packing conference bags and solving last minuted stuff. What I hadn't counted on is that our sweet son and daughter in law would drop our grandchildren in our lap for...

    Legal Issues that could effect all MV Owners

    Man, wouldn't I want to do that (although the CO would have a higher priority). Don't want to look dumb, but which rally would that be? In the Czech Republic of old, that WAS breakfast (maybe with some fat-dripping sausage and a half slice of dark bread) As to identifying 73M819, I would tip...

    Is that 1-2:30 PM as in 13-00 - 14:30 or AM in the wee little hours just after midnight? If the first, that would be my 19 PM (six hours different), the other would be waaayyy to early for me to get out of my bed.
