Cool, a co-worker collects and restores old WWII era vehicles. He had a half-track, and his prize was a willys half-ton truck. the front looked like a jeep, but the back was sort of a flatbed with folding sides. he restored it and looked up the serial number somewhere, and painted it to match the military markings it would have had. Neat vehicle, really reminded me of a prototype SUV!!felinefan wrote:We used to have a whippet--and if my memeory is correct (mom's asleep so I can't ask her right now), one of my mom's relatives sold Whippets--the ones made by Willys, which in World War II would give the world the Jeep! ;)

My uncle had a willys junk pile in his garage and sold it for junk and lots of money. I would love to have Willys.

Re: Adventurer's Club Video
Too bad, there are a small group of fanatics out there that find and restore those. I was with him when he found it on a farm. it looked to me like a pile of junk, but after we finished our offical business with the farmer, he negotiated to buy the truck. and then hired a flatbed tow truck to take it to his house! a year later it was up and running!! It was one of those that actually used wood slats for the bed of the truck portion, rather than metal.mechurchlady wrote:http://www.willysonline.com/history.asp

Re: Adventurer's Club Video

It is actually a cute show and I like that it promotes healthy eating and exercise and the guy in the tight outfit is a plus too. Just that Donnie played that one bit so many times I wanted to stuff the remote in certain unmentionable body parts of his. Damn DVR box

Re: Adventurer's Club Video
Yeah, Grumpy, that's pretty "normal" for the Adventurer's Club. When we were there that guy played a cowboy. It is one of the most unique attractions on Disney property. Always something weird and wacky going on in that club, although you wouldn't know it just to walk in the door and look around. Plan for at least an hour, and possibly several, if you stop in. Don't forget to order a Kungaloosh at the bar, and be careful where you sit. Oh, and don't worry about the talking heads on the wall. They don't bite. Usually. Unless they're hungry.
