Mike G.... had to unfriend him and ban him on FB for too many offensive comments.

Horn.... I found I needed a horn for my first Mk1 when at field reenactments. With a line of Yank infantry on either side of the narrow dirt roads, I was just too qquiet coming up behind them. Last straw was when some guy stepped out of line into the road to do something with the guy behind him. Panic braking and some sliding and he was still clueless I was so close to him. All the guys in back were thrown around and some leaky red stuff on the sharp edges of some brackets back there.

I got a Lucas flat horn and mounted it and used it often afterwards. ALl the vehicles in our unit have horns for the same reason.

It's been my experience that anybody who refers to themselves as 'big (insert name)' usually has an ego of the same size.

Sorry to inflict "the negative vibes".... It seems that with Messenger connected to Facebook is somehow a separate app on my phone. Turning him off on FB didn't disconnect him there. I have that sorted now.

Sooo... Have an unusually warm day here of 70 degrees F and a day to spend re-wiring the Mk2 carrier. Best get outside and to it then!
Cheers
Jim

In this part of the prairies, I believe the term is "asshat".
