Sunday morning was a 110km (70 mile) drive through local state forest in the jeeps, weapons carrier, half-ton Dodge, GPA seep. That afternoon saw the amphibs (three WW2 Ford GPA’s, Coot, Amphicat) in the water. On Monday we packed up and stopped in at a club member’s place to see his WWII Kenworth wrecker, which we all had a ride on. This footage combined from my own (camcorder and still camera in movie mode) and clubmember Bob’s video. Thanks Bob!

WWII jeep rainforest trip

admin — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 05:10:35 +0000

A weekend trip over the 17th and 18th November 2007 by the Military Jeep Club of Queensland through some of the temperate rainforests and forests of northern New South Wales, Australia.

Six vehicles came along, all World War Two vintage. They were:
3 Ford GPW jeeps
2 Willys MB jeeps
1 Dodge WC-52 Weapons Carrier

We met at the clubhouse at 6:30am on a rainy Saturday morning. The rain didn’t clear up until we we had done about 50 or 60 miles. After that it was overcast but still quite warm. We camped overnight in a public camping ground and toured some more forests and national parks on the Sunday before returning home.

This footage was taken with two different cameras – a camcorder and a digital still camera in movie mode. Hence the drop in picture and sound quality here and there. I also compressed it a lot to fit within YouTube’s upload limitations.

A fun day for the Military Jeep Club of Queensland held on the 2nd and 3rd December 2006 near Brisbane. The main event was a time trial to complete the course which started with a log crossing, through a dip and a mud pit, along two logs, reverse slalom, dirt mounds and twists then back to the start point.

Vehicles that can be seen are:
Ford GPW jeeps
Dodge WC-51 Weapon Carriers
WC-53 Carryall
Blitz (CMP) trucks
Dodge staff car
M38A1
HMMWV (Hummer)
Coot
Note that a number of these vehicles were unrestored ‘runabout’ ones, their owners having (wisely?) left their good restored MV’s at home

Camaro Fights Mustang and Challenger – Muscle Car Comparison

In 2002, astronaut Buzz Aldrin, the second human being to set foot on the moon, punched a guy in the face for accusing him of faking the moon landing. Buzz was 72 years old at the time.

Go right ahead and question the existence of the 2010 Ford Mustang GT, 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T and 2010 Chevy Camaro SS and they, too, might just give you a knuckle sandwich in the kisser. Like Mr. Aldrin, they bear names from long ago that have made a collective return to the limelight. Like Mr. Aldrin, they are American heroes with unparalleled legacies reaching across decades. And like Mr. Aldrin, they have Ph.Ds in kicking ass.

Their makers may have proven that they have the financial acumen of a blind yak. However, we submit these pony car icons as proof that the home team can extract their craniums from their nether regions once in awhile and knock the cover off the ball.
