What Makes You :) Today

The first time I touched a scout I got cut a little and the rust got into my blood. Sorry but I cant but help love all IH esp my scouts. I used to part them out. I would find one in a farmers field, buy it for 200 and try to get it retitled and running. Failing that, I would part them out down to the bare frame. Countless scouts were recycled this way and the useable parts were then sold to keep other scouts going. I made some good friends from this. And I had one scout I held onto with the hopes of making a real nice truck out of. I worked at saving the parts and hording things to make it great. a new 4" lift spring kit. 33inch tires. better rims and body panels. all the things she needed to be all she could be. And the wife always had her hand out when I made money from the parts sales. I never seemed able to put it back into the scout as was the plan. Finally with the knee gone to shit and 3 years of sitting on the scout I sold it. I cried that day.
I want another scout someday. badly. I look at the jeep with some envy. I just wanted a decent 4x4 rig that I could claim I built not kitted together. you cant buy parts for a scout like you can a jeep. Everything must be scratch built. Maybe my next scout will be fancy. Like a scout 2 not another 800. But I know one day it will happen.

If Jeep is the Question?
Landy must be the answer!

I would even accept Range just for Jimmy.

Can't argue with that, Angle. What other vehicle would you want to be 500 km back into the jungle with? National Geographic is the worlds best Land Rover salesman ever.

Just watched my favorite episode of the U.S. version of the office...if you are not a fan I understand but the one titled "stress relief" made me laugh so hard....just kills me. Gotta love a good belly laugh.

I used to have a S2 88" with canvas top, The guy I brought it off told me he was selling it because the 4 wheel drive didn`t work and new gearbox was to expensive.

But for a grand I took her. once payment was settled, contracts signed I explained to him what the funny looking things in the middle of the front wheels was for. I mean it is not rocket science.

Selected "Engage " on the hubs put her in 4 wheel low ratio and promtly mounted the trailer without ramps.

He was not amused. And the misses was chuffed to bits :D

First thing I did when I got her home was remove the free wheeling hubs and sold them to another German 4x4 expert ;) who would forget every time we would go green laning to engage them before he hit water holes. :ROFLMAO: Idiot never learned. Me and the misses used to laugh our heads off.

I realy should see about getting my Vids, digitalised so I can put them on here for a laugh.

Mate sent me this earlier. We had , lets say, a few encounters between us during our long years as observers :

My husband took me to the theater to see a show and although I didn't like the crowd I didn't freak out. I even enjoyed myself. Progress or good meds? In any case, it made me smile.
