And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I like your old truck pictures. We were in the Douro Valley of Portugal 5 or 6 years ago and were astonished at the number of old British Bedford trucks both in daily use in the vineyards and completely restored ones in a wine festival parade.
I searched your site for 'Bedford' and found nothing.
Here's a few links, if you're interested -https://tinyurl.com/mr2b3e2x -https://tinyurl.com/yendf5be
I own a Jeep FC150 just like the on in picture. Trust me it is not a vehicle you want to commute in. Top speed is 40mph. Too slow to be able to get on any highway. Interior is incredibly how and ungodly loud. There is no insulation in the cab and you sit with the engine under your elbow.
I love mine and will probably never sell it. But would never commute on it!

Thanks! I'll investigate.
DeleteA White 3000 would fit nicely in this collection.
ReplyDeletewillys cabover the first one
ReplyDeleteSecond from bottom is a Chevrolet.
ReplyDeleteI like the Chevy and the Ford, but I don't care for the trafficators on the Chevy.
ReplyDeleteThe only one I would NOT commute in would be the open Willis Jeep on a very cold day in January. Otherwise, they're ALL GOOD.
ReplyDeleteThe XJ Cherokee would be the most comfortable, and the most capable off road with the right tires.
ReplyDeleteI'd DRIVE any one of them, but commute? Nope I retired from commuting last year!
