Default Wow! So much metal!!

Chris, G'day from Ganmain!

Seems along way from Mons - how come your trucks not there? Seems to me you're enjoying yourself a bit too much.

Half your luck

G'Day Tony

Just came back after an weekend full of excitement and joy. It was perfect riding as a passenger on Andreas Kettenkrad. By the way, the Kettenkrad was a real crowd or let's say a Kraut Pleaser Everywhere he parked it people came watching, asking questions and kids were climbing on it.

I don't think my Blitz will ever be in Mons. First of all, it's called Tanks in Town, second it is 650km away and I would have to drive through 3 countries. At least she's a Ford, with a Chev there could be much more going wrong

Greetings from Switzerland
Chris

We had lot of fun at Tanks in Town, as always. I caught up with Swiss Chris and Hanno and met Maurice. Attached you will find a few pictures I took.

My buddy Tim took the picture of Hanno and me in front of the Dutch Army Sexton. MLU member Maurice Donkers is standing in the Sexton, which he restored years ago. Maurice, it was nice meeting you in person!

Regarding Hanno's challenge.....the picture of the Sexton driving past, gives a slight hint....Hanno, I still think someone from MLU was involved!

Oh, by the way. The terrain was a bit rough sometimes, so some vehicles lost stowage along the way. When Chris and I were catching up, A Belgian Harley owner lost a set of goggles. He was very happy when I returned them during the break at Mesvin. But, when Tim and I returned to our car, a Czech Harley owner past us and he lost some stuff as well. He was long gone when we picked the things up from the woods.

Any of our Czech MLU members aware which Czech WLA owner this might have been? I would like to return his tools and parts.

Alex

... a hint for the riddle. Hanno was pointing out to something on the back of the Sexton. Who finds it?
