PNW Info Thread!

[Amer-team]

For those of us that have enjoyed for many years, cruising the military shops at Tillicum, WA, I have to pass on a sad report.

Gail of Dave and Gail Robinson, Historical Militaria, passed away yesterday from an extended fight with cancer. Her son in law called me today and passed on the information. There is no service planned. Please keep Dave and Gails family in your thoughts and prayers.

Gail has been a fixture to those of us that collect the other non vehicle military stuff for years. She was always ready with a smile and often times a joke for the day. She will be missed. Peter L.

RIP Gail!

Man thats too bad! She was such a hoot to talk to. She always gave me a hard time when I'd go in. She eould also pressured Dave to give me a good deal. She will be missed.

Our prayers are with those who survive and will surely miss Gail. May they all find peace and comfort in this time.

Jumped to the end of this thread when I realized I was reading from
the beginng of JANUARY! So sad the passing ... Some things just are not fair...

So HEY! I have a couple of questions and this PNW crowd is exactly who
I need to address. I am thinking about a M925A1 and although I am pretty
handy there are some things I am sure I would not want to tackle. In
the eastern WA, northern Idaho or western MT areas can I get a list of
companys who work on these beasts AND or sell parts etc? Perhaps
if there are any privateers who do serioously good work is not out
of the question too.
I hope to own a M925A1 before spring...
Being a noob w/ so many q's blows! Gotta learn!
TIA!

2 Stalwarts gone, the other 2 in two hours.

 

[Amer-team]

Stuart, don't go wild with all that spare room now.

 

[Stalwart]

Naw, I still have 2 cars worth of a 4 car garage to remove and then my yard has a date with many truckloads of crushed gravel. There are only 2 more toys allowed at our house: an Austin Champ and/or a Kettenkrad. I still have one Stalwart left inside the garage, it has the best engine and the best jet drives. That one will be sold, the other 4 are being scrapped.

 

[Amer-team]

Crushed rock and covered storage are good. Sorry that the Stalwarts didn't meet a better end. The video that was posted with a Stalwart diving into the water was very impressive.
Good luck on the clean up.

 

[Wolfen]

My dream is to someday to own a Kettenkrad.

My wife likes them too, she giggles like a little girl when she drives one.

Any events fairly close to me for Veteran's Day? It would be really cool to get out and meet some of you since I'll be up here for a bit.

 

[goodguyzy]

Im not sure whats going on in the Portland area, Im going to take the m916/lowboy to the medford parade on Monday.

 

[ARYankee]

For the Washington guys, is Brad still in business? I know the last time that I was up in these parts a couple years ago, he was having issues with having to clear out his yard. I may be wanting to take a trip up there to poke around and see what I can buy

 

[goodguyzy]

Veterans day parade medford, oregon. I think this will be the last parade for the m916 as im going to put her up for sale. Every time I drive the truck it cost about $200 for a short trip ( fuel+insurance+misc.) a lack luster turn out, starting to wonder if anyone cares about this country anymore. sorry about bad pic, really need to get a phone with better camera.

 

[wsucougarx]

Gees Zy, don't talk about selling the M916. Now you've got me thinking about buying it!

Yes Brad is still in business, he is slowly clearing stuff out so may want to get up here sooner rather than later. I don't think he is "going out of business" but he may be limited to what he can keep indoors.

One of my big problems is parking, im sure your neighbors would just love you.

 

[wsucougarx]

Funny you should mention that. My neighbors love having my trucks parked in the backyard. He and his wife feel more secure having those trucks out there. They said it was better than having a police cruiser parked in my driveway. I can only think bigger the better. Ahh, I told myself never again would I drive 11 hours again...hahaha.

Tentative Mini Rally this Saturday at Brad's.
Mike (Amram) and I are headed there hopefully this Saturday morning. Mike is checking with Brad tomorrow to make sure we're good to go. Going to keep it low key (ie: no BBQ) unless you guys want to whip up something.

11-15-12 haven't heard anything from Amram.
