Default New Year Drive

I'll see if I can fire up the old FGT and at least move it forwards and backwards!

Default Well someone had to do it...

Don't know whether this is quite a drive but she did move under her own power about a minute into 2016.

Default Good one Keith

Hi Keith

You most certainly got spirt of the challenge award, with first video posted, some how I did expect someone to meet the challenge at the stroke of midnight. Now was that AEST or AEDST? Also was that fireworks I heard at the end of the videos?

Hope we get to see more videos and pictures of CMPs and their drivers out making their own first drive of 2016.

At a minimum it will be 15 hours before my drive.

Cheers and Happy New Year

Phil

Hi Keith,
Good one You have beat the Kiwis to it!

I bet you would have driven up the road, it was only the lack of headlights that stopped you

See you in March.

cheers Richard

Best wishes for 2016 to everyone!

Took it for a drive around the town, about 20-25 minutes, so it warmed up nicely. New year's resolution: take the truck out for a drive more often!

Default New Years Drive 2016 Two Out Of Three

Hi All

Happy News Years to all best wishes from New Hampshire. May you have lots of CMP or other MV driving during the coming year.

Didn't go out at the stroke of Mid Night but did get out by 10 AM. We had a miserable snow sleet storm on Tuesday 4-6 inches on unfrozen ground hence the mud and snow. Stuff on the ground is so heavy that both trucks needed 4x4 drive in places on flat ground.

Was going to try to take all threes out the two stored in the unheated garage start with out problems the one parked in the heated shop decided it didn't want to start, so only took 2 out for drive. Photo below shows the two that started, I'm editing the goPro video and will paste that later today.

If you don't make it out on New Years Day hope you will post your first drive of the year.

Cheers Phil

PS- Hanno your weather looks better than ours. Good New Years Resolution.

Great to see you actually waited for the clock to jump to 12:00 PM - that's dedication. So let's be a sport and call your "move" a "drive"

Best wishes for 2016! Were are still more than 8 hours away from it.
