Reminds me of the day, when I ended up with the smallest Army logistics Cpl I'd ever seen stood in front of me explaining how she'd just reversed an Oshkosh fuel tanker into the back of one of our Chinooks.

Suspect it probably wasn't the best day she'd ever had.

I’m assuming the ramp was up?

She seems fairly normal to most of us here

I know the site well.
Not the web site, but the place on the ground.

Apparently there is a nice Foden at Withams that would be acceptable to her,
as it turns out the Oshkosh won't be fitted with a BV for those all important tea breaks ...

The Mad Wife in the Attic has informed me that what she really wants for her birthday is an Oskosh MMRS Recovery Truck ...

She has previously wanted a Stolly, a Scammell Pioneer and a Sd.Kfz. 251
Oddly enough, I have no plans on buying her any of them.

Is she for sale?

The wife?

I strongly suspect that she is up to the old "ask for something utterly unacceptable because what she will settle for is a bit pricey" routine.
So I have called her buff and told her she can have one of the Series 2 Land Rover projects.
(It only needs a new chassis and a new bulkhead and the engine might be a bit seized ).

It's a phase, hold fast and it'll pass.

Start her off with a nice mk3 militant

Yes, Dear! Yes.

 

[Richiew]

The more I think about it. Collecting large machine tools at 3 miles per gallon and still having to no-where to load them onto is a no. I'll pass.

If you want to keep her entertained get her watching Diesel Dave's YouTube channel, he's just added a 10x10 Oshkosh wagon to his fleet of recovery vehicles and puts it to good use. Think he said there's only two of those trucks in civilian hands in the US, very capable machines with 10WD, diff locks on all axles and front and rear 2 axles steer.

My Mrs is happy as long as she gets a new pair of wellies for winter when required! And they are a business expense.
