And my A2 W/ROPS...
Enjoy!
I managed to get a new A1, but that one still hasn't reached the Ardennes - will post pics as soon as I drive it there!

Great pics! Thanks for posting. Snoopy I was just wondering how far do you live from the Ardennes? Is it a long drive for you?

I live about 2 hours north of Bastogne.
My vehicles found a new home at the Bastogne (Army) Barracks.

We drive down there once or twice a month to provide guided tours at the local branch of the Royal Military Museum and in the mean time grab the opportunity to drive my jeeps on the old battlefields...
Since their displays cover WW2 only (vehicles, uniforms, dioramas etc.) I was given the chance to develop and setup my personal collection which covers US Army from 1945-1995 on display.
Last year I started with a Desert Storm exhibition, this year I will be adding Vietnam (M151a1), and next year I intend to setup an Operation Urgent Fury (Grenada) display (M151a2 MERDC) to commemorate the 30th anniversary of that intervention.
Cheers,
Pascal

Great looking trucks SNOOPY! I think I saw your MUTT in front of the barracks last year. I was there with my WW2 reenactment unit. I liked the Desert Storm display as well. Greetings from Poland.
PS. My A2 just got towed away for the motor pool

Hey! I was just about to write to you! Yes, Im coming to Bastogne for the weekend. We should definitely meet up! I was also wondering if there is any M151 parts vendor coming to Bastogne? Im looking for some things for my MUTT (rubber brake lines in particular) and thought that this could be a chance to buy something as well.
