You can drive a Jeep?!! I would have thought you would need to sit in the back or even in the trailer!

(For those who have never met Hanno, he is very tall.......)

Yes, although it is not easy. 1st gear and reverse is a struggle between the levers and my right leg and the steering wheel. A hard bum after a while. But participating in the Bastogne event was worth the inconvenience.

And where there is a will (and a shoe horn) . . . who knows I might somehow fit in Marc's Dingo

"I spotted this one in Normandy last year as well. It is a makeshift body, but the truck is The Proper CMP . . . (Ford!)"
Aha, you're right....now I remember...it was next to the former Bernieres-sur-Mer trainstation, wasn't it?

The CMP is a Ford and belongs to Maurice Robens. The 6X6 jeep belongs to Rene Cremer and the Bedford MWD 15cwt belongs to Michaël Monin. Three live in Belgium.
