    This reminded me of the old Santa Claus is Comin' to Town postal delivery vehicle.

    My snow-day fun machines...

    The worse it gets, the more I am out in it.

    While people complain about how miserable the weather is, I get to have all the fun.

    Yesterday I was on the Interstate throwing a rooster tail and a TV crew sets up on the shoulder-snowbank where I throw the snow, hoping to get a good action shot. I slowed way down when I got near the camera man so I wouldn't cripple the guy with a few hundred pounds of flying slush to knock him off his feet. I was able to keep from bowling him over with the shooting slush only because I saw him in time to slow way down. We have to go very slow near parking lots on State Routes to keep from breaking windshields. I hate to think what would have happened to that camera man standing right by my discharge if I didn't see him in time.....

    The old VW commercial that asked what snow plow drivers use to get to work- remember that one?

    Here is my work-fun vehicle and my go-to-work vehicle (not a VW)

    Lots of snow in the trunk gives me traction and keeps the Mountain Dew cold.

    The Linn was a heavy hauler from the 20s. They were a very low-geared factory half-track. I believe a lot of them were employed in the woods as log trucks.

    I would be curious to know who's Tudor this is?

    [​IMG]

    I remember when it was for sale in Idaho and there was a really interesting story about how a rural town of Secesh had got it from another mail post... Secesh is about 40 miles from the nearest town and has a popluation of 8 in the winter time... they do live out there year round though... Pretty amazing group of off the grid survivors...

    This tudor was awesome in person, It looks like it is a newer photo of it here, because I remember about 5 years ago the roof was pretty wasted...

    Very cool car... Man I wish I had it here, I could use a plow after the recent storm.

    well, I took the time to do a little searching on that stuck sno-cat from the trans antarctic expedition and not only found out that it was recovered, but found a documentary on youtube that shows the video of it 8:20 seconds into the documentary

  22. I will toss in one my Grandfather built somtime in theTwenties with if IRC WWI surplus parts. Anybody have an idea what that engine is out of? I think he said surplus replacement for an army bike of some kind. The story was the local beat cop would stop trafic on the cross street so he could run it down the alleys behind his Sheboygan WI house. Try that now...
