  Wifey and I went out fora short ride and stopped at Super Box Mart on the way home and this was parked next to us when we came out.  Pretty cool old Gend Armie truck (Swedish) unknown year or model but still pretty cool.

  This was actually a Volvo..six speed trans..hi/low diff.  Looked really cool upclose.  And you couldn't heaar it run.  I'd love to find one for an off roader.

My friend had an old MB Uni-Mog. It was slower than an Enfield with 2 flat tires.

  Saw the mugly other again while test riding the Enfield after tire repair class 101.  Guy was heading to the Thursday nihgt car show, told me I should ride in behind him.  Can't do that covered with tire smudge and grease cutter soaked jeans so came home instead.

  Actually a guy here local sells restored duece and a halves.  That's actually what I want.  The best darn truck the Army ever had.  Ah the thoughts of a M35A2 rolling through the ville......
