Default Oh wow....

One of the neatest videos I've seen in a while.

How fortunate to have this sort of heritage!

I noticed just how hard the lead driver was working to make that corner!

No power steering?

Seriously, that's some impressive machinery.

I especially liked the trailer what a cool design with the double turning bogies.

Oh boy Rex, you have more faith in me than I do. That being said, I'm starting to do some R&D on those old WW1 era trucks. If not an ambulance, then maybe an old gun truck so it could battle on the field perhaps. I just love WW1 technology and seeing how it all began. Have you scratched anything WW1?

Yes, I did build a WW I Mobile Armored Protective Enclosure, Mk 1, self powered.

It actually was tested to protect infantrymen from small arms fire when crossing no mans land.

I think my friend Jim Beam inspired me to do this project one afternoon.

Me thinks this Mk 1 would have seen quite a bit of #2 if it had been fielded.
