Jeeps at a Ranch in Mississippi

Thousand Mile Jeep Trip to Italy
UPDATE: Christian updated his website with more pics and some background. There’s a summary at the bottom of the page: http://www.willys-am-tegernsee.de/?p=1425
This is the official video of the event. It’s in Italian, but still interesting:
Christian Pawlak and some of his jeep-owning friends just completed a thousand mile trip from Germany to Colonna, Italy, and back. In Colonna, they joined the Liberta/Column of Liberation celebration with 150 vehicles and almost 500 participants. They encountered some mechanical problems and some poor weather, but in Italy they had a great time chatting and eating. He shared a photo of their adventure below and will publish a story about their trip at his website when he has time. Click on the pic to view a much larger version.
