Motivator - DC3T Recovery in Antarctica - video

Post by Lycosaurus »

After having posted this on the "other" site under "Temp / Test / Misc. (posts deleted after 2 weeks)", the post is gone, likely the act of an overzealous moderator... hope it sees some appreciation on this site.

Not RV related... but how about rebuilding a Canadian DC3T (C-GEAI) on the ice in 40 days. Yes, clecos and rivets.

Next time you go to the shop and complain about your work conditions...
