history of the jeep
still trying to figure my way thru threads, hope this belongs here.
I am very interested in military history and I am hoping to own a jeep or any vehicle for that matter soon, I realize this will probably take me a very long time (but I am young so I have the time to wait... I guess?). so I keep researching and wishing for that day a old piece of history will end up in my (well, parents) driveway to get restored and shown in parades. here is a very cool episode on the evolution of the jeep. part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djxxOi6NkUI&NR=1 part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6arB...eature=related (love the headlights that also work as a engine light, and never knew about air raids seeing reflected light!) part3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26zt0...eature=related part 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk6E7...eature=related part 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YWYb...eature=related just the thought of owning one is mind boggling, watching the videos and seeing them come off the assembly lines and being put to work.... and now ending up in (well hopefully) caring hands to restore and share with everyone else

If no one saved the bad ones, our grand kids wouldnt know how bad they were.
   When I was younger, I threw away every bsf and whitworth bolt/nut, I came accross, because I was never going to be interested in any old Britsh rubbish. Now I have the Bren carrier disease.... Never say never!!!
