Just thought I'd share it here.

Have you seen the monster that is now in Portland on the www.northwestparts.com springs page? Not my style, but... amazing - go look.   Glenn Guinto (Glenn) Senior Member Username: Glenn Post Number: 502 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Sunday, March 02, 2003 - 03:37 pm:    Yeah, I've seen that... doesn't float my boat neither but interesting nevertheless. The bottom picture was used in the forest and was also known as the "roadless 109".

How 'bout this? http://landrover.mrbaileyshistory.net/pictures/rsov2.jpg   R. B.

A WWII reenactment club. It's a Canadian 1943 Bren Carrier marked up for the African campaign. Traditionally, it's marked up for ETO which is our mainstay. Because of it's size, speed, and maneuverability, I like the Bren carrier more then the other tracked vehicles out there. I'm sure driving the Sherman or the Stug would be fun, but for zipping around, I love the carrier... I think the second one I would drive after that would the be the Stuart. That's a little rocketship as well. Jeff
