Yeah that one is still a ford owned product. Still designed and built in the land of rusting aluminium....

Im not typically a big fan of white cars, but with the two tone interior, it just looks right in person....

Got word that there is an almost brand now M1a for sale from a collector..
Going to go check it out later this week, and if it is what it is, put down a deposit.

Yeah, that would pose a pretty big problem even on this side of the pond....
No one would ever cut you off though.....at least not more than once

As a company car it would really suck for gas mileage.

Yeah, but you were paying for the gas.....and yes, at full speed, economy is better measured in gpm rather than mpg...

Got me a steel storagecase today, lockable.
Not the thickest gauge steel, but it's big, and just fits under the stairscase.

Stuffed my part of strategic ammo supply (in there, bout 600 rds, and half of my strategic , long storage food supply, got plenty of other strategic stuff in there, like matches, lighter fluid, crapping paper (not in the case, as that takes to much volume), basic medical supplies And off course a couple of bottles of Scotch & an assortment of liquor.


Is it enough, nope, not at all, but it's a minimum to cover something like a month of hardship, in reasonable style. And no way anybody will steal that thing.. it's 4 foot long, 2 foot wide, fully loaded it weighs a ton. And because it's under the staircase, bit lower then ground floor, they can't drag it out either.. Nor would they be able to break it open.. There's not enough room to work there.

That, or "ze Germanz". They have been here before, twice.
all it takes is one of them getting uppity and thinking "Third time's the charm".
