This past weekend Pete, from the Old Willys Forum, drove down to the 2nd Annual Willys Moab Rally 2011 put on by Casey Dimmitt. He reports that they had plenty of fun and wished they could stay longer. Pete put this video together (I think to make us all jealous so that we’ll join them next year!). Thanks for sharing Pete, I love that area!

Wandering Willys Jeep Club Movie Preview
Brian spotted this. Since we are both ex-members of the WWJC, we admittedly had a soft spot for it. Apparently, the club makes an annual movie of the year’s events and this was the preview for last year’s movie.
Mahindra History Overview
Thanks to Brian for spotting this video. Though the music overshadows the narrator in many instances, there are a wide variety of images presented that make it work a look.

Colombia Yipao Videos
I was checking some stats tonight and learned that readers from the country of Colombia constitute one of the largest blocks of readers of eWillys outside the US. So, in solidarity, I thought a few Yipao videos were in order 🙂
Part way through, watch as the driver climbs out while the jeep keeps spinning!
In this one, the driver jumps on top of the jeep while it spins:
This one includes a bee cage:

Agent CJ-3B
Now that Chet has finished his CJ-3B restoration, it seems he now has time to launch his movie career! He hadn’t planned on creating an ‘agent theme’, that emerged during editing.
Chet writes, “I made a “hokey” you tube clip last week and used the term “biscuit fender” that I learned about 10 years ago on the 3B forum…. Also in the intro I used the term “Horse Face”, as this is an affectionate way the people of Brazil refer to their 3B’s.”
