My MUTT at the Philippine Int'l Hot Air Balloon Fiesta

Getting ready to be towed by my Dad on his Mitsubishi jeep accessorised with mutt parts 8)

The convoy is composed of a M38 and a few WWII Jeeps from MVCC Philippines.

At Clark Air Base where the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta was held. This pic was taken the day before
the show. My Dad's jeep wasn't part of the static display but he just parked it there for photo ops.
Mind you, his jeep got more attention than ours :lol:

Image



This was during the filming of a segment on jeeps which was featured on our national TV.

Image



Mutts are real babe magnets :wink:

Image



Couldn't resist so I joined in. This is all for you guys on the g838 :lol:

Image



They also have kite flying events

Image



One proud owner

My friend Mike Fukuda who is also a big mutt fan. He owns a USMC M151A1. I had to put the foot stool at the back of the mutt
so children can climb in.

First day of the Balloon Fiesta.

Great Pictures :!: 8) 8) Love your dad's "jeep". Is the 50 a live shooting model? If so, is it full or semi auto? You could have used it to shoot down a few of those kites :shock: :lol: Definitely true about the kids wanting to climb in and on M151s. How many of the girls were you able to fit in the M151 for the ride home :?: :roll: BTW I see you have IR lenses on your front flood lights. Do you also have a pair of infrared night vision goggles :?

Thank you all for the compliments and hilarious comments :D
To asnwer a few questions,

a. The 50 cal is an aluminium replica cast from a real MG. The barrel is detachable and the charging handle slides.
b. The IR driving lights are just for looks. I have not even wired them up yet. A NVG is certainly on my wish list.
c. Mounting the siren is my next priority 8)
d. Top, click this link to enlighten you more about those hanging sacks on my pintle hook

Jay, I have to say you look much better dressed as a GI than you did as a VC. You will probably live longer too! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I do have to say that Mike's uniform is very sharp.
