Just another day at COTW, browsing through social media and seeing what people are pretending to be outraged at today.
“Another Youtuber buying a wrecked supercar, oh it’s a flood damaged P1, that’s actually neat.”
“Another article twisting what F1 drivers are saying for the DTS crowd, lame.”
“Ah another video on Project Binky, they still working on that?”
(Airhorn)
“Ah, Sonova 🤬!”
(Laughter)
“Now we’re even.”
the familiar voice of one of our resident Canucks rings out.
“Suppose that’s fair Baron, but then again you don’t leave your office unless it’s a meeting so you had the element of surprise.”![Tongue :P :P](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/tongue.svg?v=3)
“Touché, anyways Esh wants us all in the meeting room in 5 mins, says it’s about a potential pick for this week.”
“Sure, be down in a minute.”
-A few minutes later-
There we were, Me, Baron, Obe, Rick, Yard, Racer, Rob, RX8 and Square all relaxing waiting on Esh to get things started.
“Gentleman, I take it you all saw the old military vehicles on the way in today?”
“How could we not?” Said Obe, “Thought there was some discount insurrection going on.” Couple of chuckles slip out.
“Yes, it’s all part of a parade celebrating Americas past, in WW2 specifically.”
“Presumedly leaving out the occasional war crimes?” I asked with a degree of rhetorical sarcasm.
“Vic please, the organisers have contacted us and they want COTW to help out with the parade.”
“And how does this get us to our next pick Esh?” Rick inquires.
“In exchange for our help, they’ll loan us enough Willys for this week.”
(Cue half the guys trying not to laugh at the double entendre)
(Exhales)”Jeeps, Willys Jeeps you manchildren.”![Rolleyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/rolleyes.svg?v=6)
“Goddamn how does she decide not to go postal with dealing us lot?” I wondered whilst chuckling.
“So we’re testing the Willys Jeep and they want us to help them how exactly? Yard asks.
“They want Vic, Baron and me talking about COTW’s history with testing WW2 vehicles, Obe’s assisting with some of the firearms safety folks, Yard is working alongside the fire crews with the vintage fire trucks and any heavy vehicles and the rest of you will be giving rides in the Jeeps to the spectators.”
“You sure it’s a good idea to let Yard help out with the heavy machinery?” I say.
“Would you prefer he assist with the firearms experts Vic?” Esh retorted
I open my mouth to reply and realise she’s actually made a compelling point, “That IS the lesser of two evils.” I thought.
I raise my hands in defeat to her point.
“Ok Esh, you made your point.” I concede.
“Well then, let’s not keep them waiting shall we?”
-Hours Later-
The Parade went down rather well, We all got to showcase our skills and show some historic WW2 cars pushed to their limits, no issues reported on our side so we met up for a cold one while there was a break.
“I quite enjoyed today Esh.” I say, “This is the sort of team bonding experience I can get behind.”
“Certainly breaks up the routine of the odd office pranks, like the glitter bomb in Square’s office.” Esh replied with a smug smile in saying the last part.
“Can’t believe Sarah did me dirty like that.” Square still annoyed by the mess that made, “I’m still finding glitter in that office even now.”
“Just be thankful she didn’t swap the salt and sugar around for your coffee.” Rick said, “Nearly redecorated my desk with that salty coffee because Someone thought they’d be cute and do just that.”
“I’m gonna take the fifth on that one.” Rob simply stated.
“Suppose Yards attempted prank on me seems rather tame.” RX8 mentioned.
“Actually that’s a good point, Where is Yard?” I ask.
“He was last with me about 5 mins ago.” Obe pointed out,”We had just passed where the tanks.. were.. Parked.” Obe’s eyes go wide at the realisation.
And right on cue, Yard blasts through a nearby concession stand in a tank, laughing like a drunk goblin all the while.
We all look at each other.
All:”Aww 🤬.”
So much for us going one week without catching another lawsuit. 💵
(And Cut 🎞️)
So, the Willys Jeep MB
Packing a 2.2 litre “Go Devil” Inline 4, it makes 60hp which goes to all 4 wheels via a 3 speed manual gearbox.
Visually there’s quite a few options for the Jeep, some exclusive depending on if you widebody’d it or not.
Mine on race day had a wire cutter pole upfront and the roof down, but there’s quite a few other options too.![Wink ;) ;)](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/wink.svg?v=3)
A Widebody Jeep with custom rims gives you some extra thicc tyres, which is perfect if you decide over 200hp from a fully tuned stock motor isn’t enough for you and decide to drop a Hellcat V8 into it.![Big Grin :D :D](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/biggrin.svg?v=3)
Now it came stock with Comfort Hards, which combined with the early forms of 4wd systems, meant understeer was a common sight, but because we were barely cracking the British Motorway Speed Limit (70mph) it wasn’t a massive issue for us.![Smile :) :)](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/smile.svg?v=3)
But for racing, this is a pure momentum car, more than the Copen, even minor slip ups punish you as every mph counts.
And while you can win a fresh Jeep from the first set of missions by Golding them all, when it shows up in the LCD you can pick one up for just over 30k, the cheapest offering in LCD so far.
Don’t buy this if you want an out the box racer(unless you have a Hellcat crate engine on standby.
), but as a collectors piece and something you and the guys can race together with for the hell of it, it’s worth every penny.
Verdict: Sleeper 😉👍
