Default Essex show 6 Sep

As mentioned in an earlier thread this weekend is building up to be quite an event!

I have heard from the www.CTMHV.com that there are already vehicles arriving for the weekend event. Some very rare armour and softskin vehicles. So far: White Halftrack, GMC Fox, Ford MK1 Carrier, Dodge WC, M37 3/4, Ford GPW are already there with more arriving between now and Sunday. There will be participants camping out overnight Saturday and there is lots of room for more. A fantastic facility which caters to all needs. There will be Vets bussed out to the site and a vintage aircraft fly-by and a whole lot of civilian pattern vintage tin. They (the museum) have scouted out a trail which can be used for those who wish to take their rig for a ride through the forest. From its meagre beginnings a few weeks ago this event has taken on a life of its own. There will be vendors selling military items and more are welcome so if you have some gear to unload don't be afraid to bring it.

This one day event 6 September is just the starting point for a much larger full blown weekend event which is in the planning stages for next year. Come on out, support the CTMHV and MLU and show off your stuff.

Default Another Windsor/Essex show come 'n gone

Well folks,

It was another unqualified success. If you can imagine bringing in tons of STEEL to a TIN meeting, that is exactly what we did. The www.CTMHV.com
put on its annual fall gathering of over 6oo vintage vehicles and hotrods. In all shapes colors and combinations. Needless to say when the crowds were near epileptic with the visual overload they wandered into a forested "hide" and were met by a range of calming Olive Drab that brought them back to their senses. Some of us camped overnight including MR MLU and his significant other. The set-up was awesome and the Vets loved it. Here are a few pics of some of the STEEL that was present. Once again I want to pass on all my thanks for those who came out and supported the event, Stewart and Mary Loy, Bill and Grace Anthony, Geoff and Matt Bottoms, Nick Kikanin, Jeff and Keith Mallott, Mike Appel, Bruce Parker, Jim Malog, Jason Papak, Geoff Winnington-Ball and Sally, Mickey Molder, KMJ machinery movers to mention a few of the "movers and shakers. There were many more volunteers and care-givers of the vets whom I would like to mention but unfortunately I do not know their names.

Default by the way....

By the way ..... I forgot to mention the flea market.

I saw several CMP and Jeep'ers walking off with wartime dated civilian pattern license plates and rumour has it some lucky b'stard scooped 2 UC carbs with govenors...also found were military Trico wipers and a host of Jeep and flathead parts and pieces. All in all not a bad flea market.

cheers

I have to concur with Myke - this was an outstanding show in an outstanding venue! The CTMHV people were more than hospitable and I have high hopes that we will make this a military-only show next year - tentative date 14-15 August - we will update you as time goes on and I hope you will attend! This is definitely the show southwest Ontario has been looking for, for years now. Kudos to the CTMHV people and especially Mickey Moulder, their prime mover... but I also have to give our own Myke Timoshyk a great pat on the back for an amazing coordination effort! Myke represents us as well as anyone ever has. Good job, mate!

Default Lots of WW2 photos too

(If you were careful to keep the chrome and glossy painted cars out of the picture)
