Default Response to ??????

I read your exploits of relics from the WW2 era with great interest. Obviously as I am a post war British vehicle enthusiast, .....we won't hold that against you....and an import to these shores I have missed a few basic details that I could use explaining.

1 Why do you embark on vehicle recoveries in winter, is it a future demonstration Olympic sport.....Yes it is..... but you will never beat us Canucks at it...haha

2 The "breading" program you descibe, with row upon row of relics, does it have some majic formula for "cross pollenation" whereby a 60CWT is possible from a lesser original "breading" stock?.....We have NO lesser stock..... based on rare DNA we are trying to raise the elusive Cab 13 with the Dodge engine

3 Is your property visible on Google Earth? ......Actually the whole property is covered with aluminum foil to prevent satellite viewing..

4 How many variants comprises a "full set"?.....No "variants" just vagrants CMP, DODGES, etc......

The Gang


I apologise for the phillistine like questions, please see intro again!

Who is "Phillistine" ........ any pictures of the lady????

Bob,

Looks like you should change the aluminum foil for aluminium foil for better anti satellite coverage

Don't know about aluminum foil, but I did google earth search on CMP HERE and got this image.

Cheers Phil

Phil, If we have our way, Hammond will become the center of the CMP universe...By the way, we have leads on four more CMPs. Stay tuned Googlers!

Dear Gents of the barn,

you have been "playing" in winter with military vehicles, we have been working with ours.

Here is a picture of our BV206 working last week in Quebec where we also work. This is our winter access vehicle to the site.

Just thought you might like to see it, sorry its not the greatest quality picture.

Look forward to June BBQ if we are not making hay that day.
