My first experience with Blitz's was watching them snigging logs into a saw mill near Batlow that my Farther supplied logs to ocasionally. I was around 10 at the time. My first drive was in the Blitz I now own, it was about a 100 metre drive when I was 37. 1966 first experience, 1993 first drive.

Default My 1st experience with CMP 1979

Hi All

Well it has been 33 years an a couple of months since I first saw a CMP drove it an acquired it. Here is link to the rest of the story http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/BEASTHISTORY.html

Now I'm overhauling it, http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=15965

But one CMP is never enough.



Cheers Phil

Default Dedication

I think Phils dedication and enthusiasm put most of us MLU'rs and our feeble efforts in perspective.

My C8 hasn't seen the light of day for 8 years , gathering dust .

Phil has three restored
