Welcome to a visual journey...
Half the fun of renovating and maintaining old military vehicles are to make them appear as contemporary, original and hopefully ready to go into action in the right surroundings.
So it is clear that right appearance does matter a lot. What is also one of the major factors for us owners of old military vehicles is the love to photograph our dearest possession .... This might create some domestic conflicts when children. wife or girlfriends are pushed aside when we want to photograph our vehicle .. Consequently most vehicle owners are constantly in a position where they "must make amends and smooth out" with the family. BUT it does not change the fact that it is a joy to perpetuate these wonderful big and clumsy vehicles.
Please enjoy our growing Gallery of our own vehicles and others in the most inspiring and well made surroundings.

Normandy Revisited
A Visual Odyssey 2009
(Photographer: Erik, Søren, Ole, Flemming, Poul, Klaus and Per)
Around the world, from the West to the East, from the North to the South, accross religions, races, nationalities and political orientations, there is ONE interest, hobby, passion or, as some even claim it to be, a "Green Disease", that truly unifies us... the restorations and maintainance of WW2 vehicles as well as the study of the history relating to those vehicles. In fact, that in spite of these vehicles relates to previous bloody wars, these vehicles and our interest in this particular part of our history is what brings us together in Peace and understanding.
Please enjoy "a Visual Odyssey" from our last "Expedition" in 2009 to Normandy after 5 years of careful planning.
For the last 15 years, and for just a few weeks, we have taken our "journey" back the the hectic 1944s living in a "time bubble" with good friends!
