[Nonskimmer]

Have a root beer instead.

Your right Alder, im just allowing Les to get to me.

And u shouldnt let me get to u... Im just an ignorant Damn Yankee with an slightly cruel attitude.... I told u awhile ago not to take me seriously -38.....

 

[P38 Pilot]

Good idea! Well i just ate some ice cream...

 

[lesofprimus]

Was it redneck icecream??? Ya know, the possum flavored one???

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Sounds like what woman do when they are sad, angry or depressed....eat lots of icecream and chocolate!

 

[P38 Pilot]

Although i did watch Blue Collar TV while eating!

 

[Nonskimmer]

*Groan*

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Dont keel over NS.

 

[Erich]

back on topic or slightly off......

Schwimmwagen bitte ! I'll take 2, one for work estimates

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Ive always like the Schwimmwagen but Im more a Jeep fan.

 

[evangilder]

Kind of like a small DUKW.

 

[Erich]

the kleine bugger is so trick being able to hit the lake and take a fast swimm. impressive. Actually I think it is a sleek little thing with the obvious VW techs attention to small details

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Everyonce in a while I see one driving around over here in Ansbach. There are a few of them in private ownership.

 

[schwarzpanzer]

They're rare and expensive now aren't they though?

Having seen that, I've seen a few advertised for sale!!

Do you see any of them Amphicars about Adler?

- They were built in Germany IIRC?

I thought of the Schwimmwagen when I posted this thread, it's by far the best, according to a US Army side-by-side trial.

Wouldn't they be expensive to build though?

BTW: I have magazine pics of prototype vehicles based on the Schwimmwagen and the SW prototypes, shall I post them?

 

[Erich]

do it please and give credit sources......

 

[Gnomey]

Go ahead schwarzpanzer lets see. The schwimmwagen is cool it, for me beats a Kubelwagen.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Next time I see one here in Ansbach I will try and get a pic of it. There a couple of them.

 

[schwarzpanzer]

Still looking...

I did find some Kommandeurwagen pics/info though.

It had a Kar98k in the B-pillar. 8)

Which reminds me, the Kar98k was carried in a (or a few) tanks, anyone got more info on that?
