Good show - saved a lot of bucks and got to see a bunch of familiar faces and meet some new ones. Thanks to Nick and John for getting this thing going again.

I'm pretty sure it was. Wish I could've found you guys. But I did get to see two vehicles I really really wanted to see. the two V-100 types sitting along the north fence. I've never seen one in person and I have to admit, even in their condition I would still love to own one or both and I dont think I have ever been so motivated to want to restore anything in my life. They're awesome! The owner is a very lucky individual.

Do you mean these guys? They were pretty awesome close up as well. I had trouble finding the way to get in too, but luckily I figured out that the open gate to the south of the museum was the way in.

I especially was amazed to find that the owner of this museum had scored a tank trainer; I think they were called a UCOFT device. I remember a British company had won a contract to furnish these trainers to the US Army. One was even installed in an out building at my Reserve Center in Milwaukee in the 1980s to assist the troops to keep their 19E/19K skills up to scratch.

Here are a few photos from the event. Had a great time and fried my alternator on the way home, but made it home just the same! Tired and clean from a hot shower. Now food and sofa.

It was good to put some faces with names this weekend, I also made out like a bandit with some parts and they are on my A1 already!!

Thanks for feeding us the good hot meal. We made a donation to the musium in your name. It was nice meeting you guys and enjoyed checking out your outstanding vehicles! I hope we get together again later this summer.
Maybe the weather will cooperate next time.

I was on a bit of a time crunch too so that didn't help my cause very much... I ended up getting extremely busy when I got back to Indy. But yes those are the ones! I troll through the V-100 forum here more than anything else. I think I need to get ahold of the owner and maybe he'd let me help out when or if they restore them or maybe even purchase one to restore (I know, I'm dreaming on that one my profession never makes a lot of money) even my fiance liked them and said she'd pitch in too.

But if you guys plan another one and let me know where to go (ie behind the museum) I'll definitely make it up there again.
