Next
Here is a clearer shot, but it really does not give the "game" away. Note the subtle differences between the towed truck and a "normal" CMP...sigh, you got me doing it now, Bob.
Hints - Look at the headlamp pot configuration and where the front clip is attached. Also, there is only one of these models known to exist and it now lives in Hammond!

the Easter Bunny aka the new Mr. HUP
"Look What the Easter Bunny Delivered" - apparently he shops at the Chicken Ranch. The Hammond Barn Group came for a visit yesterday and look what happened. I turned my back and suddenly two HUPs were up on the trailers, chained down and pointed east. How is that for a border raid?
Barry, you really should have been there to help me. I was one busy guy as they did the 'divide and conquer' routine on both sides of the Chicken Ranch. Now we know why they are called the "Hammond Barn Group". While Rob Clarke was out front doing the fender fondle on the prototype HUP, Grant Bowker and Bob Carriere were out back working me over for your stuff. Stay tuned .... I think they are coming back. Bob has a very high speed winch on his recovery trailer and there is no second guessing once that cable is hooked up. So congratulations Rob Clarke.  Treat the prototype well. http://www.oldcmp.net/prototype.html The title of Mr. HUP is yours, although not officially so until pronounced by Alex Blair.Brian Gough Hupmeister wannabe

Passing the torch...
Quote:
As the original Mr Manual,I understand the Original Hupmeisters ,The Rt Hon.Brian Gough's feelings,when he passed the torch .... As one ages ,it occurred to me,as it has finally occured to Brian,we don't own our possessions,they own us..and we are only the keepers of history for a short while... I know that my original manual collection is in good hands with Grant Bowker ,another of the Hammond Barn tribe and that my manuals legacy will live on... So with out further ado...I now pronounce you "Mr Hup".... (I could add,"The new and improved"..but you are going to have to work a hell of a lot harder than you have been doing to "Out anything Brian Gough Related",to get "The new and improved" part of the title from me.. Brian is a pretty class act to inherit the title from ,and you had better be prepared to do some fancy footwork to get the rest of the "Mr HUP" title.. Rob.. Here is some food for thought.. Acronym Definition HUP Hangup (Unix command) HUP Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania HUP Hungarian Unix Portal HUP Home Use Program HUP Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle HUP Hot Uniaxial Pressing HUP Heavy Utility Personnel (military vehicle) HUP Hold Until Published

Her' Hupmeister
Quote:
If I was in Canada I would be seeking #1 HUP. A great vehicle. I think BOB is the perfect man to take custody. He's not the owner... He's just the custodian. It is Honorable You have passed it on.  Ian

HUP Prize
Quote:
Brian and I came to a mutually beneficial agreement and I thank him for giving me the opportunity to partake of this unique piece of Canadian history. Now that I have cut my teeth on the 45 HUP, I think I can do the prototype proud (at a later date of course). This means that I will be thinning out my (non HUP) herd (with local interests being taken care of first and foremost). More details later on. If the stars line up, the restoration process on the prototype will commence this summer - starting around the 15th of August...I think there may be some extra manpower hanging around the barn that weekend. Cheers,

At this rate we may have to petition to have Hammond renamed as HUP City.
