41 morris project

[alleramilitaria]

just to let all the fine folks up north in queensland know that border raiding seasion is about to start (for me)

im going to resettle a morris blitz from up north to the great state of NSW, on its way to the USA in a year or two.

that way i can be known as the only nut in the americas with 2 morrises, or morisie.

why do i keep doing this to myself?

You certainly give plenty of forewarning of your intention to commit International Border Raiding. I think this is a Freudian cry for intervention. Your subconcious is telling you NO.

longest border raid by telephone

most morrises in north america

i think im too far gone for my subconsios to even have a voice any more, i think it just says (go on do what ever you want)

Dave ..

We are one of the few .....but don't fell alone . You are the sole member of the Nth. American military Morris club. Likewise, I'm the sole member of the antipodean Morris military club .

I've had people here in the local MV club actually ask me, with some cynical tone in their voice, " Why do you like those Morris things " The person asking is usually a Jeep owner

The MV disease usually goes like this:

Jeep.. gets tired of this and goes onto, normally a
Dodge ....... grows bored of this and buys a
GMC ....... too common and chases after a
half track or a tank .

Right under their noses ..are very unique vehicles with so much history behind them . Beaches of Dunkirk stuff - those Morris CS8's abandoned and rebuilt by the Germans. Nobody down here seems to want them, probably because Sgt. Saunders never drove one in the 1960's in COMBAT . But Sgt. Shultz did drive one in Hogans Heroes ..many times .

What a travesty this is .They release a plastic kit Hogans Heroes Jeep, but a Jeep never appeared in the series . The Morris - Commercial CS8 appeared right throughout the show ..where is the model kit of that vehicle
