My 1st MUTT

[richard]

First of all: Thanks to everybody here helping me within the past months with comments, hints and valuable advices Yesterday I purchased my 1st MUTT and brought him to his new home.

Within the next weeks I'll go into it in detail, will come back with tons (or less) questions. Hope you'll not banish me.

Arrival on trailer after 310 miles:


Meeting a WW2 Diamond T 4-ton 6x6 Wrecker:



Home for the coming seasons of rain, storm, snow and ice (my father's oldtimer garage):

Before you ask: The wrecker isn't mine and also not for sale. Will be restored in 2012 by somebody who lost his barn.

Hey Richard,
WOW! Looks very nice indeed. A very lucky guy to have that vehicle as your first M151. Those 2 OD vehicles in that big building look so lonely, you need to add a few more to that motorpool. Thanks for the pictures!

Dan, you're great. 100 points. And I thought Horst and I are the only Germans here.

Sure Shifting is excellent. Had many problems with all the others I drove before coming from 2nd to 3rd upshifting.

Hi Rainman, for completition I'm looking for a M416A1 now. While being in Bavaria last weekend, I got an offer for a Reo M35A2C

BTW, your avatar is the same as on the sticker I've on her.
