As promised here are some photos taken during a photo shoot for a magazine for the Adelaide Hills. The magazine asked our club to supply some vehicles old military vehicles. so I thought it an appropriate time to take my Jeep out for it's first drive. I was joined by our club treasurer in his RAN 1943 MB Willys Jeep.
The location for the photo shoot was at an old Pub in Charleston in the Adelaide Hills with some staged actors as military types, their uniforms were completely wrong for the era of our Jeeps, though the Pub was there during WW2 and is not far from the Woodside Army Barracks.
It was very exciting to take the old girl for a good run through the hills and putting her through her paces. It was a wet day with lot's of rain and I can say those bar tread tyres are not the best ride I have had on wet tarred roads.
