has invested more than $100000.00 in the jeep he's now interesting to hannah's off road skills it's got a special differential of extra sturdy shops and special time is. that neither one knows exactly what they and their jeep will be facing. the countryside looks like something out of a john ford weston one of america's big national parks as nearby bunch drivers can only. go off road outside the pond.

1000000000 patrol is a procession of historical and i'd forces military vehicles through germany's once divided capital. nord poem goes over the ruse the convoy is to be led by historical american jeeps which. i like i should keep this for the west berliners an older berliners the american jeep is a symbol of freedom. i've experienced it myself when driving through town and if you start at the tires make the singing noise you see an elderly woman was standing by the road looking in my direction but she couldn't see me with the light in her eyes you see my face is but when she heard the tires singing she lifted her cane and waved stock on things. that then patrol commemorates berlin's liberation from the nazi regime and recalls the allied
1:43 am
occupation. only original vehicles joined in some of the participants even with historical uniforms but i was now not about. a brit just goes together but not the right car with the right outfit. if they were 958 cadillac i'd have my hair greased back right now. i may be a girl in a petticoat at my side to go out on the way to go with the car for. the participants come from all over germany old jeep fans men of a dignified age playing soldiers on patrol and on site. from 945 to 990 american soviets british and french troops were present in berlin. their vehicles had for. state kids but they wouldn't do you much good they didn't

associated with the u.s. army. the billing concludes at checkpoint charlie famous as a crossing point through the berlin bull jubilance division today it's a tourist attraction. the jeeps have a starring role here and historical artifacts interest photos. i am going to keep. aside from all the excitement and fanfare the con has a very special symbolic meaning for some present here. in the end it's just that it's a serial to another peacekeeping mission for the vatican so it's in the end this is very representative for my husband i can hear both in the military so it's important for my kids to see.
1:46 am
when the members of the spy off road clap on tooling around through rugged terrain they tinkering with a vintage machines. they disassemble and reassemble the historic jeeps fast the body has to come up oh yeah that's going on here. in the gulf of. mexico next year this one will be 30 years old. this is that it can be registered as an antique car it's a jeep y.j. it's been completely rebuilt and restored complete fishless so you. can then work
1:47 am

1:48 am
back in the deserts of utah hanna and jim hodges are running into some rough terrain but the 18 year olds trust the right stuff to handle this extreme trial eat. sleep one rock and shop to the other the jeeps work their way up to the biggest obstacle of all that's where hanna will show what you can do with a differential and off road good and a 300 horsepower engine. hit it's make or break a few mini meets his can mean all the difference. please at the critical point she pulls to one side and lets the other drivers
1:49 am
go ahead. please. she has a really good look at the phone not going to get stuck there just imposible again p.q. around and see if. you get to make sure your prologue. you know have all 'd your your wheels locked up and. just you know have the bump it a little bit i think. it's the front wheels up onto the wrong maneuvers like this are best done with very low time pressure. the guy says she has to get up some real momentum to bring the real wheels up.
1:50 am
you're almost top but not clients it will take a little more gas. but now she's stuck. thanks the only way to get out of this is with a cable and winch a real humiliation for an off road drive. and yet another extreme obstacle waits just behind the next ridge. just called green this. this obstacle that you know makes it feel good to look at this who would ever drive a car jeep or vehicle of this it is crazy. this
1:51 am
is hannah's chance to make good. either. right. hannah's old smiles at last a major when on a difficult path could trail and on which she goes. to. sleep meanwhile the german alfred fans don't have quite as rocky a road. but later a house that's tricky spots even so one of the one she has cousins stuck in to watch a whole lot of the talent of things like this happen often it's no tragedy help is on the way. other drivers test their meshal in bumpy robina's adventures like this only for genuine off road vehicles s.u.v.s made for
1:52 am
the asphalt jungle wouldn't get fun here but there is the city really the right place for a jeep. but mark you can drive down to the ice cream parlor and it's too many off roaders don't ever use their cars for anything else and that's too bad i thought you should use a car in the environment it was billed for. i call that ethical treatment of automobiles and water modern the occasional rocks are a part of it and sometimes it results in a bit offended maybe the comments were a tight spot but left to fend behind that can happen is just part of it you have to take it in your stride you have to. play i. soon found himself having to practice what he preached. was wrong could sour shorts
1:53 am
in the water he died a month start again now we need a winch. to come upon a start i want to know one of them being there. before the winch is ready the jeep starts again after. club steve was happy he can get out under his own steam. the telling cable and caribbean hook needed to rule. or will they. go with your car will have to come again. finally to well coordinated winches succeed in pulling up the 2 and
1:54 am
a half times he. went into the water the distributor can't wear it and now it won't run on all 6 cylinders you can hear it you can't running on just 3 cylinders but it compound out enough power like that what are you going to do now dry out. close states i was having fun but that was enough fun for one day man and machine have to rest to. the ultra it is in the desert a few to have also had about enough some of the jeeps have a few more dense but that was expected. the rest email was hardly 10 kilometers long but they were 10 of the hottest konami's his hand has ever driven.
1:55 am
