where have all the tim tams gone
I hear that the tim tam monster was at CC7
as soon as he saw the tim tams he couldn't control his urge for the aussie delicacey so he swooped in and grabbed them to take back to his nest in Owen Sound  Max

Max, we did see Mark & Emma on Saturday. Both are happy and looking well! The weather here is 'iffy' right now, but good enough, although our two pet Aussies had to leave early on to get set for the wedding. It didn't rain til well after tea though, so I hope they had a good time!
CC7 was small but great this year... attended by a very tight bunch who've known each other for a long time, it was more like a good family gathering than a traditional 'show'. But you know what? Those are the best... Pics will follow but Sally and I had a wonderful time there, and I swear I gained about five pounds this weekend! The 15cwt water truck and Stewart's T-16 were running after tea, then we wrapped things up before the storm hit. I will have more to say in the next day or two but right now let me simply close by offering my thanks to the Caldwell clan once more for a job well done. They have done this seven years' running and it's time for them to take a break! We'll have something else sorted for southwestern Ontario for this time next year... Thanks, Caldwells - you've earned it!

No Pix, But
Alex,
I was so busy talking all day that I forgot to take any pix at CC7. The even was very well organized, as it always has been, and those that attended had a really go time. Hats off to the Caldwells who did a super job of getting us together. Well done!  Stewart

You mean what is left of the HUP....
The frame and the black cab came from the "chicken farm" and will serve the Caldwells in finishing their own HUP...... it will serve best as a template for reproducing the floor plates and other components.... the rear of the black cab plus another cab may donate the complex compound curves of the rear corners and possibly the whole rear panel with door opening...but no door!!!
We could not verify the condition of the HUP frame but it is all there.... ..... someone was heard saying that a "good body man" could fix it up in no time flat!!!! Boob

Thanks so much for posting the video to youTube
Thanks Jordan for posting video, really makes me sorry I could not make it this year. Also sets me wondering how long it would take me to drive up in one of my CMPs for next year. Maybe if I left now I could make it.
Great video, particularly like the one with the rider on the running board. I usually find that about the time I hit 3rd gear they start looking worried. Do I see a CC#? video ala YEAR OF THE BLITZ. In case you did guess I really enjoyed the videos. Cheers Phil

HUP Reconstruction
Quote:
Good to hear that another HUP is on its way to restored glory. I do have one spare beat-up HUP door that could be used as a template. Bob, Thanks for the info. Maybe we will have time to restore the 43 HUP sitting in the wagon lines...from our wheel chairs...

I've finally gotten off my arse and ferreted out a few pics we took at CC7 this year. Captions as follows (and successive posts with more pics): Pic 1: Jif, Don and Boob discussing some arcane nonsense, while Jon looks on in the background somewhat stunned... Pic 2: Stewart's outstanding T-16, this year replete with a .50 M2HB with the mount fashioned after the famous (on MLU) pic of the Lake Sups' T-16 so-armed...  Pic 3: Jif explaining the vagaries of the .50 to young Spencer Caldwell, whose heart is in the right place... Pic 4: Sally passing by in the T-16 at-speed... this was her first ride ever in tracked armour! The look on her face kind of captures the wonder... Pic 5: The Herd spending the heat of the afternoon talking about all sorts of things... and who knows what really went on?  Stay tuned...

More Pics
Pic 6: Two M38CDN Jeeps parked where they always are every year here. They and their loads wend their way up from the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) each year, no small undertaking in a vehicle which can barely make the speed limit empty, downhill with a tailwind!
Pic 7: Kathy Caldwell driving a CMP for the first time ever! She picked it up rather well and altogether too quickly, I'm sure to Jeff & Dan's discomforture... Pic 8: Sally coming back from a high-speed romp in the 15cwt Chev... her first-time ever as well! The look on her face says everything... Pic 9: An interesting 'military' Honda probably missed by most. OD rules! Pic 10: Feeding time at the zoo. The Caldwells did an amazing job for the seventh year in a row! Kudos to all of them for a very professional effort.
