Hey Mikey,
I started a new thread on this topic, as the thread where you posted this question
I do remember Rat Patrol, that is where I learned to drive a WWII jeep, they will do amazing things, and I have yet to turn one over. I suspect that this program motivated me to buy my first jeep, a 1942 Ford GPW, I still have it ans over the past 34 years, I have put over 50000 miles on it. I bought Maggie one about 12 years ago, a 1942 Ford GPW, and we have driven it nearly 20000 miles. I have another one that I bought for parts, but it is a 1943 Ford GPW, and even another just for a spare, but it is a 1942 Ford GPW. I know, it is not much for variaty, but they do have different serial nuimbers. As for Combat, that was one of the programs that I looked forward to each week when we could gert TV reception. I have seen several episodes in the past few years, and I must admit that Rat Patrol was very disapointing, even the driving was a lot tamer than I remembered. Combat was better.

Is such a good one that I thought I would try to help keep it clean.Hey Chas how was 'Rat Patrol' tonight? Up to expectations or a bitter dissapointment?
Do you remember it, Gus? And what about 'Combat'?
