Yes Bob, I think the others have said it all. A successful raid usually means returning with something of value! Those jeep things are lying around everywhere over here. I trust you will be fitting it with tracks to make all this worthwhile?

Sorry Bob. Jeeps don't count. As Rich says, they are everywhere over here, We're glad to see some space made so we can bring something of value back to Victoria (Once Again).If you look at my vehicle list you won't see a jeep as they are just too common.

Watch out for a proper border raid in the coming weeks.
Regards Rick.

Default Weeelllll!!

Well look at all the people who have got their doodles in a flap. My mate, for whom I obtained this Jeep is very proud of his new toy, and good on him. At least this vehicle has come to a State where it is appreciated. For the record I also intend obtaining a Jeep for Ada, as opposed to dime a dozen common old Blitzs, obscure armoured vehicles and weird Pommie stuff. We are still grass roots here and having fun.

Bob

Hi All

I am sorry, but I have to come to come clean and ID myself and come to the aid of my Mate Bob Mosley who was OC of this little skirmish accross the border into Victoria. I am grateful for the support and assistance of Bob giving of his time and placing his life at risk infiltrating into Victoria and getting safely home to god old SA with our prize.

JEEPS Rule!!

Little Jo

I don't mind jeeps actually, always been fond of the M151 mutt though.

Hey Bob, just saw your web tag in your signiture, your site is great and is now bookmarked.

LittleJo is a great MLU name too, makes me want to change mine to crapgame or oddball ( I wont ask though, jiff has already been very good to me and allowed one change already).

Default Work on the Jeep has begun.

Hi All

Just to let all know I have started to strip the vehicle aquired from our across the border raid by Salesman Bob and I. So I hope all going well it will be finished and ready for Corowa 2011. So I have not encountered any problems and is in better condition than I thought.

Cheers

Little Jo
