Out in the sun again, this time on the back of a 1970s DAF tractor + lowloader, courtesy of a friend.

The truck was transported from deep storage to a place a few steps away from home, finally time to get some more work done on it now.

Happy Hanno

Default Deep storage

Jeez Hanno I dont know wether I'd go ahead with such a wreck.

It just looks too far gone!!!!

Does deep storage mean you have access to 'Truck lagoon'??

G'day Hanno,
Just back to Australia.(13/09/09.)
It was great to meet you.
Glad to see you kept your word and have started on the Blitz.
We will all be watching for the final instalment titled "On The Road Again".
Regards Rick and Jill

Hallo Rick,

Good to hear you & Jill made it back home. I can hardly believe it was so long ago since we met. Hope you two enjoyed yourself touring all over Europe.

Was great to meet you, next time around I´ll let you take the Ford for a spin!

Cheers,
Hanno

Thanks Tony, I´ve been giving it a long thought indeed!

As with the Army, deep storage means it´s stored for a long period waiting for the time one is actually going to use the truck, while getting on with life in general. It was rubbing shoulders with a truck load of historic military vehicles, so at least it was in good company awaiting it´s turn. It is now on it´s own but much closer to home.

H.
