Thats great fun !!! did the same sort of thing to some airboune jeep owners one outside a cafe in Oosterbeek, as my American friend who was crewing the carrier with me said as we sat enjoying a drink near the carrier "they thought they were hot sh$t untill we turned up in the carrier" (the 3 jeeps left with in 5 mins of us arriving and the crowd transfering to the carrier.

The little lady and I went to a big car show a couple of years ago. Me in the M3A1 White Scout Car and Jill in her 1955 Citroen 2CV. We arrived in the mid 3/4 of the 250+ vehicles and parked next to each other. For the next 2 to 3 hours, we had the biggest, by far, mob of people around our two vehicles. The $80,000++ shinny hot rods and the lovely restored other cars hardly got a look but the 2CV and Scout Car were the cars of the show. Not the only time that has happened either.
Regards Rick.

I was with Martyn at the armed forces day last year and the reception his carrier got was unbeleivable stirred up so many fond memories with the Vets..... the thing i find with the jeeps (and i dont wish to cause offence and i would have one myself too but...) there are so many of them ! they are still very much two a penny imho this would be closely followed by american half tracks..... i still fancy a nice 42 GP in desert colours ala SAS but before that i want my CMP, Loyd, Stuart, and a nice Morris comercial PU8 (or similar) so the jeep will be low down in my list of wants (below the CVRT)
carriers rock enough said guys hahahahaha. again not meant to cause offence... they just 8nt my cuppa as much as carriers and the above are.

Heck, even my Frankencarrier got the crowds when I used it to tow our float in the Canada Day parade... Tracked and green just gets attention. Plus everyone has seen old cars, the firetrucks, so some variety is a big deal.
