Re: Beltring 2008
Hey Horst, I recognise the sweater you are wearing from Aberdeen but I notoce that this time you have a coat to go over it!!
For those who don't understand, Horst showed up at Aberdeen in the USA wearing a sweater which would normally be fine for that time of year. BUT, It was freakin cold and windy and raining! Horst is one tough guy, he would not accept any offers of warm coats, I think he knew we were all ill prepared also, and he enjoyed the show even though he had to be freezing!

Hey Jay: Next time you make a trip to LA bring that Ruski MAZ with you. I could use that up here in the mountains.

Re: Beltring 2008
Top,
Try to attend next year as France is not too far from Kent
Rick,
Last year's show was very wet . Luckily, the weather was great this year.
Come to think of it, I didn't see any top bows on Horst's mutt. And I think he drove (with no roof on)600 miles each way!
He is one tough guy alright
Floyd,
I bet the operating instruction plates will all be written in Russian. So if you can read Russian, I'll relay your request to the owner

Re: Beltring 2008
Now Jay, You go to a military vehicle show wearing BDU pants and a T-shirt with a VW microbus on it!? That was the ultimate antiwar vehicle! Remember the movie Full metal jacket? The officer commenting on Jokers peace symbal on his helmet? And yes I have had several and I am still kicking myself for getting rid of my 71 camper!
