MVCC Camp Delta Event

Friday afternoon my son Mckinley and I headed over to the Camp Delta event for a short walkabout. Anything that involves military vehicles, uniforms, and armor is always a hit with a 4 year old! The recent rains had created a bit of a quagmire at some of the "Dry Camping" areas, but in general the campground was full. It was nice to chat with some of our friends and customers.

BAE was displaying one of their MRAP vehicles. This was the first chance I had to see one up close and personal. The size is impressive. My boy has decided that the old WWII Jeeps are not his cup of tea........it's MRAP all the way!


This is definitely a fun show to spend some time at. The European military vehicles are few and far in between, but that is what would make it more fun to attend in your Unimog or Pinzgauer.

Video Suggestions Wanted

We have begun the process of putting together some of our tech video's. The Pertronix Install is up, and I expect us to continue with more regular installments in a month or so. I know we have slated a video on Electrical testing and ignition basics, wheel cylinder rebuilds, and carb rebuilds. We would like to hear from our customers with additional suggestions on what they would like to see.


NOS Spares Acquisition - France









EI in conjunction with our European Partner has completed the acquisition of a large batch of NOS Unimog 404 spares in France. Brian Mason has been onsite in France handling the project on behalf of EI. I tell him he is mining NOS Gold! It will take a few months for these to work there way to the states, but once they do we should have some nice specials on items such as coil springs and canvasses.
