Here are some pictures I took last sunday at the Patton Drivers meeting in the small town of Ulbeek.

The Patton Drivers are a bunch of WW2 vehicles collectors. They buy old WW2 wrecks, restore them and keep them in driving condition.
During this meeting the whole town of Ulbeek was transformed into a large US Army camp. The members even dress up in WW2 uniforms, as you can see on my pics. On sunday there was a big parade with all kinds of trucks, jeeps, motorcycles and stuff.
Don't ask me the type's of vehicles, because the only one I know is the Willies jeep, maybe somebody can help?

I really like the Patton look-a-like, he looks mean, but he is actually a nice guy.

Here is Old Blood and Guts himself, starting the parade.

Nice idea. 8-) Shame about the ever present hi-viz jackets...

Excellent. I like the authentic wartime building in the last shot. LOL

My thoughts exactly. You beat me to it. You won't be allowed outside your front door without one soon.

That's one of our  Belgian laws, when blocking streets for a parade, the people responsible for the traffic have to wear bright colored jackets.

Frank.
