Clare MI Show Aug. 17-19th 2007

Oh, thats right! Old age!!!! Is the 275 and 348 still around MI? You know what? Pierre Jalving has a deuce tractor, bet it belongs to him! I heard he was at the show.

Pierre was there but didn't bring any vehicles with him. He is going to bring some of his vehicles to the Silver Lake show on Sept. 15th. I have a few pics from when I was down at his place the last time earlier this summer. His deuce tractor is painted desert tan.

Wow, nice stuff. Thanks Dave!

 

[67Beast]

Yep, he has all kinds of neat stuff there. I could have wandered around for hours crawling all over the stuff there if I had the time. I was on a time limit that day and had to get back home after picking up 10 95% or better tires on rims from him.

Hey now! Did you go with Dad to Aberdeen in 2005? After all the computer conversations and discussions we had been in, I finally met your dad at Aberdeen that year. Glad to see some youth in this hobby. Dave, you did good!

Yes I did

 

[Recovry4x4]

My memory is foggy but not shut down. Nice to meet you!

 

[armytruckgirl]

Nice to meet you too. I hope when Aberdeen comes around next year we'll head down there. But with my senior year of school left i'll be pretty busy. We'll see though.

Yes Kenny it was very nice to see some youth interested in the BIG green stuff. armytruckgirl you just let me know when your Dad is ready with the check for your 5 ton and we will find you the truck..
Remember you could get a exspansable 5 ton and have a place to live when you go off to college..lol.. Probably would be cheeper than most slum lords rent bill for one semester..

 

[armytruckgirl]

Haha yes, I can see it now. My truck parked on the side of the road in Detroit.

I'm still nagging him about it, and when i finally win him over on getting a truck for me i'll let you know

 

[citizensoldier]

Well Hmmmm ! Detroit! Didnt know that!! We better check into a tank of somekind with a fully operational 50 cal on top.. Maybe some claymores for a safe perimeter..

 

[armytruckgirl]

A tank definitely sounds fun. I'll take one

 

[citizensoldier]

Hey Kenny.. Did you notice that both M275 tractors have M135 rims on the front? Is yours that way?

 

[Recovry4x4]

Mine isn't that way. Odd!

Hi All:
This is the first time I've had to post since we got home. We ran solo and made it home without incident. About an hour down the road, I stopped and turned on the heater cocks. About another hour down the road, we were warm and dry. Certainly not the condition we were in after packing that wet tent in the rain. I see 67Beast and Citizensoldier got pictures of my 3/4 ton, nice shots, thanks.

 

[Armada]

Well, these are a little late, but I just got them back.......

 

[67Beast]

I guess this means that you are back from the great white north? Did you find Bigfoot up there?

 

[Armada]

LOL. Yes, I made it back Dave. Bummed that I didn't get to go to the Silver Lake show. I didn't get Bigfoot, but I did get these two guys....

Did ARMYTRUCKGIRL get a truck yet?
