curih Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 I was walking along the road here in New England today and what should I see, but an honest to goodness Kübelwagon driving along. It was painted up in winter camoflauge too. It was a double surprise in that I saw it and that I knew what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 Too bad you couldn't flex your knowledge of German heavy armor, eh? The owner was probably getting ready for the big military vehicle rally up in Weare, NH this weekend. Something like 750 vehicles were there last year. In fact, I bet I could ask around and find out who the driver of the Kübel was BTW, this is a link of pictures from this years MVPA National Rally. Note the great shots of the VERY freshly restored Hetzer (G13) on the first page. Jim Gilmore did the restoration (along with others) and conslulted with a fellow by the name of Tom Jentz (gee... who is he? ). Jentz even provided paint chip samples so they could paint the thing up right! http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=983904&a=13535386 Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 The Hetzer looks so "new." Did they look that good when they left the factory? It needs some weathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Babra Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 How come nobody ever restores G13s as, well, G13s? It's antiswissitism, I tell you! Ban the event! Stamp out antiswissitism! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it could be worse. I don't know if it was an urban legend or not, but several years ago a young family was visiting Yellowstone and the mother thought it would make a cute picture if she could get a shot of a bear licking honey off her toddler's hand, so she smeared some on the kid's fingers. Only after she snapped the pic did she realize that the bear had bitten off the kid's fingers as well. That kid would be about grown by now. Wonder how she feels about her mom. :confused: Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked, and was quite exciting after they ate the paper plates. Still can't believe I really did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJMello Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 Dang, I wish I knew about the get together sooner. I would have loved to make the trip. I was up in Wolfeboro a few weeks ago to see the Wright Museum. I posted some pics here: www.geocities.com/cjmello63 :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaltese Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 Geez! The first reaction I would have had is "no more drinking while playing CMBO"!!! Next, I would have scrambled for my bazooka, scanned the surroundings for panzers, and called for re-enforcements! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
