... wow, brilliant idea!

Must be a fantastic feeling driving your own truck through all the battlefields.

I'll be in Normandy for around 10 days too. Be sure you don't miss the French Tank Museum in Saumur (near Le Mans) before heading up North to Bayeux.

Just let me know if I can assist you with your travel plans through Switzerland.

Greetings
Chris

Sounds like a great trip, Lang! I might join you on the way back to Holland.

Are you going by staff car again, or by Ute this time?

I just tried to open the website and got some sort of pop-up which should not be there. I will contact my webmaster to see what the story is.

I have just been told by my webmaster that the virus attached to my website was a low grade trojan horse which has now been hopefully fixed. He says any system such as Nortons or AVG will screen such virus attacks.

Would appreciate feedback on my web site www.next-horizon.org to make sure it is now clear (I have just gone in 3 times and got a clear run)

thanks Hanno.

I am working on a very rare Australian built vehicle. Should be nice and comfortable. Will put up some photos soon.

Paid up entrants include: Studebaker 6X6, Chevrolet 3 Ton 4X2 LendLease, Dodge 1/2 Ton WC, Harley WLA (too keen for me!!!), Dodge 3/4 Ton Command Car, Chevrolet 15Cwt 4X2 CMP and of course Jeeps.

I think some want to sell in Europe after Normandy.

Will work on that. I was thinking of backtracking the Princess Irene Brigade's footsteps, though that might not be of particular interest to the Australians.

Might be wise to advertise in advance. I would not be surprised to see the more plentiful vehicles being sold first, due to their popularity. . . .
