Everybody knows your truck was the baddest at the meet. Reason was its condition and it WORKS. Thanks for bringing it and offering to lift a crate that didn't show up. But guess what just showed up today 20 miles from Plymouth, it's original delivery point?.....:!:
Unfortunately the jeep kit was hung up in customs in Oakland and sent back to MD Juan for reasons we do not know. There will be no jeep kit raffle.
There will, however, be the annual MVCC fundraising raffle Friday evening during and after the dinner at the Clubhouse. We welcome donations of...
The MVCC would like to give a special shout-out to Jay Hinton from Jay's WWII Jeeps for being a sponsor of the commemorative Camp Plymouth T-shirts. We have had some very high quality artwork professionally created in the past few years for these shirts, driven by MVCC Central Valley VP Don...
Some folks wanted more details about the jeep kit in the raffle and how the sponsorship by MD Juan came to be. So I added some info to the post over on the WWII jeep forum. This includes exactly which kit this is and is not. You might find it interesting. Click here to go there...

You don't happen to have a fork lift or crane and space to store a big crate after the meet, do you? The MVCC is being given an in-the-crate new MD Juan reproduction 1942 GPW Maxi-Kit as their sponsorship fee. Besides it being on display at the meet, we will sell it Friday evening at our annual...

Tracer, why not bring the big truck and camp in it at the fairgrounds? If it rains you might want a place to hide out in that's not a tent. Put out a tarp roof next to it? Also you can putt around with it to both sides of the event whenever you want, and take it on the MV Poker Run and the run...
Mik, fires authorized in raised pits only at the Hagerty Tent Sector at the fairgrounds. Not on the ground. You have to bring it and wood. At the 49er RV Village same thing but they want to sell you their wood.
Most tent sites have no shade. No tables unless event daddy rabbit Dave Porter finds...
