"LAST SUMMER, artist Sal Taylor Kydd and her entrepreneur husband, Steven, were looking for a sport-utility vehicle to replace their aging Volvo station wagon. The latest from Mercedes, Audi and Volkswagen felt too common. But they spotted something that might work on a twisty road in Penobscot, Maine: a 1972 Chevy Suburban......"

"The more sophisticated our cars and trucks become, the more disconnected we are from the journey they are capable of taking us on. A century ago, traveling almost anywhere by automobile was an adventure; drivers carefully plotted their journey, equipped themselves for unforeseen pitfalls and even dressed to get through the trip safely and comfortably. Driving the muddy ruts and cobbled streets that passed for roads in those early days would be considered off-roading by today’s standards...."

LEARN MORSE CODE in one minute !

 
This is a code listening tool. Print it on your printer.
Place your pencil where it says START and listen to morse code.
Move down and to the right every time you hear a DIT (a dot).
Move down and to the left every time you hear a DAH (a dash).
Here's an example: You hear DAH DIT DIT which is a dash then dot then dot.
You start at START and hear a DAH then move down and left to the T and then you hear a DIT so you move down and RIGHT to the N and then you hear another DIT so you move DOWN and RIGHT again and land on the D
You then write down the letter D on your code copy paper and jump back to START waiting for your next letter.
The key to learning the code is hearing it and comprehending it while you hear it.
The only way to get there is to practice 10 minutes a day.
Listen to code tapes or computer practice code while tracing out this chart and you will find yourself writing down the letters in no time at all without the aid of the chart.
The chart brings repetition together with recognition, which you don't get from any other type of code practice aid.

Mercedes G4

Aside form the Nazi ties. This is one incredibly cool looking vehicle.

Only 57 were ever made and only 3 are know to still excist.

The G4 was a development of the G1, launched in 1926. All had an 8-cylinder inline engine, in the first three years of 5018 cc (306.2 cu in) displacement delivering 100 PS (74 kW). An unsynchronized four-speed transmission transferred the power to all four rear wheels, or optionally to all six wheels. The rear wheels were attached to two rigid axles 950 mm apart, which were suspended in joint semi-elliptic leaf springs. The front axle was rigid with semi-elliptic springs. All six wheels had hydraulic brakes with servo assistance. The top speed was only 67 km/h (42 mph), limited by the type of all-terrain tyres. Only 11 of these vehicles were delivered to the Wehrmacht. The car used an elongated box-section frame that allowed for generous interior room. Comfortable seating for up to seven was provided by benches (front and rear) and one middle row of two with separate arm rests.

Nazi's are bad.....

25 Years of Discovery

Several months ago I was contacted by a Production company about a video I had posted on YouTube. They were working on a video for the 25 Year Anniversary of the Land Rover Discovery. After much back and forth, tracking down the original footage and patiently waiting for the completion of the video, it's finally here.
I have been a huge fan of Land Rovers for many years and have owned several, so I think it is very cool to now be part of Land Rover history, all 7 seconds of it. Though i am not actually in the video. Jenny Mesdag (@3:00) is, and Teressa and Maile (the dog).

Thanks goes out to the two people who had the good sense ot capture the good times (simultaneously without any previous planning), wouldn't have been possible without you.
