I may be back in time for this and would enjoy seeing all the vehicles in the convoy.  I would definitely take my M1010 to this and would meet you somewhere Whiteing.  I know that someone on the IA HTF has a deuce and a half...speak up now if you have it or if you have any other kind of military vehicle and would like to attend.  I think it would be fun to tag along at the back of the convoy for awhile across Iowa in our vehicles.

I could understand that if I was a part of the convoy but I just want to tag along behind it as a public citizen on a public roadway.

I buy the magazine when it has articles on vehicles I'm interested in but I'm not a member.

Quoted:
Due to the insurance policy. The convoy can only be comprised of members of the MVPA. If you wish to drive a vehicle or ride along, you must be a member of the MVPA. You'll have to check the website for membership info.


So due to insurance reasons he can't operate his licensed vehicle on a public roadway near other vehicles doing the same thing?

Has/had several jeeps, military vehicles from WWII, etc.

because "AHs" means he called some of us or all of us assholes...  i think he may have taken some of the comments here out of context.  but, i can't be sure.

No, AH means Admin Hold, the s was a typo. I emailed Booger to lock the thread because people were getting upset that a Private Organization was going to recreate an event that happened 90 years ago and they just can't tag along for whatever reason. I just wanted to pass along some info on a once in a lifetime event that would be passing thru Iowa.

But I deleted any reference to the event to keep people from getting upset.

AH?  my bad.  besides, if you were calling me an asshole, i figured you'd have gone ahead and just done it...



i don't think people understood that it was a recreation, rather than a "defined by webster's: convoy" if you understand what i'm meaning...

removal of a thread due to lack of understanding or difference of opinion is something we can easily move past.  

i'm still going.  it looks like something to not miss out on...

ETA *********

does this remind anyone of that famous scene from "Dumb and Dumber"?

"you can't triple stamp a double stamp"

"you can't triple stamp a double stamp"

"you can't triple stamp a double stamp"

I would have just called you one if that's what I meant. Besides, I don't wnat to screw up the chance to drink your beer.

It is a convoy and not just a bunch of guys getting together for a afternoon drive. Even though the people are members of the MVPA, they are going to have to register and pay a fee ($100+) to participate. Any persons riding along besides the assistant driver will have to register and pay also. The fee covers everything from admin costs, log support and paying for the trailing support vehicles. There's 14 months before the convoy rolls thru and alot of work needs to be done.
