Meeting of MV enthusiast at Offenhausen (Germany)
Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2008 7:48 am
Last weekend was a nice meeting of some ex US Army MVs. I took my Jimmy to this meeting. Most vehicles were of post war production. But a friend of mine drove a 1 1/2 ton Dodge and a Willy's was seen there as well.
Weather was hot! 32°C (90°F for you guys overseas). My truck was at the limit. The ignition coil was almost glowing and fuel began to disintegrate into steam before reaching the carburetor. Some extra coolant (wet cloth fixed at the coil) helped. But the Jimmy kept rolling. Took us savely home.
