Yes Bill, I know that, je parlais des Etats Unis d'Amériques. But AM seems to forget how the Indian populations, the Asiatic, the Amerindian populations, etc... were treated... I don't moreover know if it is necessary to say "were treated", or "are still treated" in certain cases... One could moreover add the Moslem populations, even not extremist(for the extremists, I understand perfectly the anger which quite complete America can have, but it is not necessary to fall in the fault which could make think that all the Moslems are extremist. It is not moreover valid for the USA, but also for Europe generally and France in particular). You see, you a little know me since we correspond by the NG, and I always try to inform of things like they are, never forgetting French disadvantages contrary to certain other persons here who claim that their country always makes any good.

Ok, I certainly never say all the tanks are able to work, but a lot of them, and that's very impressive.

of course. i just wish i could find the one they just got running.

Very hard: the museum rarely explaim what they will run before a run... are just two or three days before. To know more about this museum, feel free to take a look at the official website, there:

Thanx for the link :)

I just got a video of German tanks running at some event in England. Interesting video of Pz III, Hetzer, Jagdpanther, Sdkfz 250 Alte, and Neu, and the Tiger (with a sick engine)

What was very nice was hearing the big V 8 engine sounds !!!!! I mean as a kid, thats ALL I ever heard !! (even our little 64 Country Squire had an ass kicking

252 ci 4bbl V 8 in it...)

Wasn't till just a few years ago that I stopped owning, and driving 7 liter + V 8 powered cars around (still drive a 5 liter HO engined MK VII occasionally)

There *were* approx 34 million Indians on the N. American contenant There are approx 9 million now.

BTW, I married a Cherokee....

But this has nothing to do with the current ME situation. Which was directly caused by european imperialism, and expansionism in the past...

Why try and change the subject now ?

Everyone lives on land that belonged to someone else before...

Not all, you are being condescending, and distracting from the point. That was a meaningless statement on your part IMHO. I never claimed that.

For the past ten centuries or so, the people of the ME have seen western europeans as their biggest threat, and problem. No way that the USA and it's short time being here, has had the impact or focus that western europe has had in the ME.......

Il se trouve que AM a formulé :

I well undersatnd. My own car is a '95 Jeep Grand Cherokee, with a V8

5.8L and 540CV... with 2 stainless exhausts... This car runs at Morocco Rallye some years ago. Fabulous sound!!!! I will build the same at 1/24 scale soon, based on the Tamiya '93 Grand Cherokee, but with a lot of modifications...

AM a couché sur son écran :

No, I'm just ironic, because the world's situation is too complicate to rebuild the world on Internet.

I haven't studied it, but I suspect the greatest part of population decline among Indians was due to causes other than genocide, like intermarriage. Not neccessarily the 34 to 9 spread suggested, but whatever the actual spread was between the mid-1800s to today, and in the territories known today as the USA - especially east of the Mississippi.

Whereas today most people would be quite proud of their Indian heritage (I am, what little I have), there was a time that if it could be buried and forgotten it was. My great-grandmother was not ashamed of being an Indian, but she didn't count herself as one either if given the choice. Whoever the land might have once belonged to was of less concern to her than who it belonged to during her days walking upon it. I suspect New England yankee pragmatism was the first thing she adopted.

disease was the #1 cause of decline.

On that I totally agree !!!!

It's easy for me to jump in a knee jerk reaction now. Because of this *surge*, younger

11 Bravo son (SAW gunner SBCT) got all leave canceled, and I now have to go see him off soon.

Anyway... it's off to Granddads (hobby shop) I am at a stopping point until I get some paint in a hurry. (KV 2 started Sat, is now ready to paint)MM medium green in rattle can, and bottle ought to work just fine. (after weathering of course...)

Eh, wouldn't that have been a 352?

Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr.

No, IIRC, it was a 252.

I had many Fords with 351 C's in them also.

Being also of that vintage, I believe that Ford had a 260, a 289, a 292 (in the 'fifties) and a 352, but I don't believe there was a 252...
