All these "mechanics" and "restorers", people like Dr. Benz, Gernold, etc. clearly charge WAY too much money.  I think they work for a few minutes, pad the bill and live fat and happy.  :D

(you have to watch the video, and yes that's a joke!)

It used to be Modle T's that they could put together in no time at all but I guess things change.

  Nothing was bolted together on that thing. No rad, fuel tank or anything that could be called a real vehical. Still, fun to watch though.

In case you didn't notice or read the postings on that youtube, it was the Canadian Army that pulled that stunt.

That figures........ they can take it apart and put it back together but it won't go anywhere.

If your memory is good, there was an episode of M*A*S*H where they left a Jeep in front of bar in Seoul, and it was stripped in seconds...

Try and parachute that jeep out of a plane like they were doing during ww2. You may have to collect parts all over the battle field ! Must be calling it the cluster-jeep !

I'd be thinking of a different kind of cluster........
