Okay Boyz,
I'm back from Germany to give you more grief,
I was in Leipzig attending the largest show for Lanz Bulldog in the world.
Over there they seem to combine tractors, trucks, engines, military vehicles
and all kinds of other items at one show. How neat!
Anyway, I was walking down through the area and here came an M151A2 meeting
me with two guys dressed up in some sort of Navy uniforms. I waved my hand
and said "Where you boyz going". Needless to say they looked at me like I
just shot their dog or something and at that point I decided it best to
start speaking in their tongue, which I did. I asked them where they got
the 151 and the driver said he had just bought it from a man in Kalifornia
and that it was new and he then pointed out that it only had 341 miles on it
and that he had put them on since he got it. They drove on off about thirty
foot and stopped and then I heard the starter cranking on it and he couldn't
get it started so I walked back and raised the hood and told him he had it
flooded, asked him to push the starter and I would operate the accellerator
so I shut off the gas and it fired up. It did look like new but I'm just
wondering what you guys think of that?
I also saw a Dodge Weapons Carrier, a Chevrolet cargo truck with just one
rear axle, a 5 ton M52A2, some East German stuff and some Russian stuff.
Those little Russian quarter tons or whatever they are seem to be valued at
about two thousand American dollars over there.
I found a guy who has a WLA 1942 Harley who says that he may be interested
in trading it to me for my 1986 FXRC. Whatayathink?
Sonny
