WOW...Incredibly well-stated, Ricky! John A-G

Paul and all who are attending the Monday meeting, Please let Mr. Doeckle know that the entire historic military vehicle community in Wisconsin (and not just Pinzy owners) has been working hard with Senators Kedzie and Ellis to resolve this issue for all historic military vehicle owners. I am...

:lol: DDoyle has got to be my favorite Confederate (well, next to General Braxton Bragg). "Carpet baggers!" Boy, that isn't an expression we hear too often up north, but the relationship to the Rebellion is quite real. The fact that each state retains the right to make up rules for their roads...

hndrsonj: Yeah, I know how that goes...a lot of time was spent sifting through printouts from various bulletin boards to determine the chain of events. But, the single best thing was talking to the MB owner. What a nice guy, and new to the HMV hobby. You can imagine how discouraged he is feeling...

General: I will try to briefly address your questions. First, the jeep in question was purchased in TEXAS not Georgia. Again, this is one of the problems we are struggling with: The internet is a great method to disseminate info, but it gets twisted too easily and people feel they are quoting...

Wisconsin Update Paul and all, I thought I would post a quick update as to what is happening here in WI. A group of about 25 HMV owners met last night in Kaukauna to organize an "action plan." They all agreed it was probably best to approach this as an entity rather than individuals covering...

Gary, you are most welcome! Glad you can use it. Best, John

After careful consideration, I have decided to attend the Iola show. 8) (for those who don't know, my desk is about 100 yards from where it occurs and my house, about 2 blocks) Please stop by the Militay Vehicles trailer and say "hey!" We will have the new 2008 MV calendars for sale. I...

Bjorn Brandstedt wrote a very thorough article on grounding the electics in an MV for Military Vehicles Magazine. I thought forum members who don't get the magazine might enjoy reading it, so I posted it here...

guess who else was crawling all over this tank? :oops: Here is a shot showing the broken hatch. (I was wearing my archival, acid-free tennis shoes! :? John

Re: RE: US Model 1917 monument

Re: RE: US Model 1917 monument The turret had no gun, it was turned about 160 degrees to the right. I think, in all fairness to the city of Bloomington, they have painted and protected the tank for 80+ years...that is a pretty good track record. It is too easy for armchair generals to...

Greetings, I spend quite a bit of time and memory-space documenting monument-tanks. This past weekend, while driving home from the Military Vehicle Preservation Association's convention, I shot photos of a US Model 1917 in Bloomington, Illinois. I thought folks may like to see this rare little...
