New Years 2016 and 2017 Challenge

[Robert Bergeron]

Challenge accepted Phil !

On New Year I will drive the 1944 Chevy C-15A and post a picture.

We just had 20 cm of snow and 30-40 more are forecast for tuesday.

Temperatures will plummet to minus 17 C . but it sleeps indoor so no starting problems.

So if the weather clears wednesday/ thursday at might just give me enough time to clear a path.

Happy New New Year.

Cheers.

Hi All

Given that on Christmas Eve temperature here New Hampshire reached 66F or 19C with no snow yet this year second latest snow in recorded weather history, not sure how ito wI'll wor out.

But I've charged all trucks batteries to insure they start. Trying to drive all of them on the first day of the year has a special meaning for me not having been able to real drive them since July, but now following hand surgery beginning of September things are beginning to get back to normal.

Looking forward to see how many CMPs we can turn out, don't have a CMP any bit of old iron that is special to you will be quite good, just start the year driving.


Cheers Phil

Charging the battery on the 44 Chevy CMP today Phil.

Also cleared 40 cm of snow in front of the garage doors and 15 more are forecasted for tonight ..

We all like challenges.

I'll see if I can fire up the old FGT and at least move it forwards and backwards!

Don't know whether this is quite a drive but she did move under her own power about a minute into 2016.

Great show Keith !

She starts well.

How come you are wearing shorts ?

It's minus 20 out here ..

Oh, you are in Australia and it's summer...

Happy New Year !

Hi Keith

You most certainly got spirt of the challenge award, with first video posted, some how I did expect someone to meet the challenge at the stroke of midnight. Now was that AEST or AEDST? Also was that fireworks I heard at the end of the videos?

Hope we get to see more videos and pictures of CMPs and their drivers out making their own first drive of 2016.

At a minimum it will be 15 hours before my drive.

Cheers and Happy New Year

Phil

Great to see you actually waited for the clock to jump to 12:00 PM - that's dedication. So let's be a sport and call your "move" a "drive"

Best wishes for 2016! Were are still more than 8 hours away from it.
