If you would like to have the truck get some very intense exposure quickly, you are welcome to have it on display at NWMF2010. I cannot tell you just how many RSVPs we have had from people interested in/looking for an Unimog but it has been quite impressive. I am not sure how long the city of Forest Grove would allow George to keep the truck on his street. If that is an issue, using the farm as a temporary storage site would also make sense. If the new owner was mechanically inclined, we have plenty of tools and a dandy steel A-frame for lifting cabs, boxes, engine/trans units, etc. Just let us know if we can be of assistance. Take care.

I would have loved to have brought the truck to the farm, but it is well and truly immobile. However, I will bring many pictures and, should someone be extremely interested, it's about an hour back to George's to take a look. George moved to a new place southeast of Hillsboro, so he has a little space to let it sit. However, it could/can always be a dandy guest house for the farm (even hot showers). Actually, if my karma was a little better, it would have broken sooner, I could have found an engine and we could have made figuring out how to install it an NWMF activity. Looking foward to any and all interest. Mike
