Default Top Scrounger!

Rob,
You are coming close to being the top scrounger of Manitoba.I think Gord's title is on the line as you are coming close to beating his record of bringing home CMP parts!Nice find that would make any HUP owner envious over your treasure trove of parts. I could have used those parts 5 years ago! Keep up the good work. Does this mean a personnel HUP in the Fast brothers collection?
Derk.

Default Dirk..I would never think ...

of taking that scrounger title away from Gord Falk who has been at the restortion hobby for 30 years+++++! A dozen carriers, numerous CMPS, Ferrets, a man totaly commited to his pasion, never taking a provincal highway home, checking for what he might see in the back 40 acrres. Not very vocal here, but worth his weight in gold.

Default More rain for Manitoba....

Now if it can keep on raining in Manitoba maybe...just maybe...Manitoba will shrink......along with Sask. and Alberta and us poor fellas from Ontario can finally drive out West and do some scrounging as well...... there is so much stuff there and so few people......

Make it shrink.... make it shrink....

Default Rain in Manitoba

Bob,
It has been raining here for 3 years only pausing for the winter months when it freezes but the snow comes and accumulates and melts in the spring giving us spring floods and more water to deal with.If this keeps up,nobody will benefit from our pristine bush CMP's because all of Manitoba will be one big lake and you won't see anything but waves,unless there may be one on a high spot in Manitoba.Oh wait,if it was that visible Gord Falk would have spotted it already! Oh when will the sunshine come to dry us out so I can finally take off my rubber boots!
Derk.

Default C8 ready for final paint job...

Thanks to David DeWeese for a couple of his well made wheel adapters . I copied them for my rear end. Still missing a couple of rims, I am still looking hard. Cheers for now, Rob
