I drug out all the toys today and took them to the local highschool, which was having thier annual carshow.
All managed to drive there and back under thier own power
Here are some pictures.

How do you manage to drive so many at one time? I need to know, so I can 'justify' future acquisitions! Hal

Hi Ernie.
What a stunning line up. Nice to see a grey one amongst the greens. I think that a few more folks should go USN. It really suits Dodges and j**ps. Saying that a friend of mine is doing a 'rag top' Jimmy as US Navy after seeing my Dodge. Strange thing is the Jimmy looks much bigger in grey. (Sorry gray)
In the UK the fuel bill would be the killer not reliability.
Phil.

Hi Hal
My dad and i and i made many trips, with my wife following us to ferry us back to the show.
Phil, the fuel was not that bad at all, the show was only 4 miles from our house
