thanks guys. it was a lot of work to get it ready for the parade. i didn't really want the press, but the UMVC were really wanting some press for the parade and the club. i love the line about "declining to comment" etc. so sensational..! ;-)
we had 4 combat vets riding with us in the parade, one ww2 and three vietnam, and they really enjoyed it. to answer the inquiries: it's difficult to tell. the parade is about 2 miles up and down, but it took an hour or so. i think we probably went through 20 or so gallons of aviation fuel that day, but the engine isn't running correctly - we hope to get it to it's "normal" mileage of 1/2 to 3/4 mpg (depending on terrain.) yes, and no. the .50 is live and registered w/ the federal government, the 76mm barrel is live, but the breach has been demilled and so the gun is non-functioning. perhaps next year i will replace the breach and register it. i have a federal curio and relic license (i only collect vintage ww2 items.) rides? this is an E-ticket-only ride. ;-) -josh /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
