Hey Taz, don't you just love this spring thing in Il.? I sure wish the Sun would come out, Not so much for me but some of the kids around here have never seen it. "3.1 just today and it is still raining. This is two miles west of me, there is a bridge out there somewhere.

I'm thinking with enough of a running start, you could hydroplane a valk across that!

Was really wondering why someone would do a trade like that, then opened the post. With all the skilled folks on this forum, bet someone could figure out how to mod the Valk so you could go on water. If a car could do it, the Valk can.

I saw how much rain you were getting down South there Challenger, holy smokes your got some floods going. We got about 2 in of rain Friday and about 1 1/2 in the day before that but Central and Southern Illinois were getting alot more from Peoria, Quad Cities and south got blasted. I think if you gunned it real good you could get through that road your showing....just put some water wings on for good measure. If you put some adapters on your pipes and brought up the exhaust about 3 feet you could get through that depending if the water was moving or just sitting there. Go have some fun in the mud today and show some pics when you have.  |

It has quit raining today, so it shouldn't be long before the farmers can get in the fields. I don't think this is the type of planting he had in mind,

Now that's what I call getting down and dirty with a John Deere Tractor! Looks like he is ready to plant storm pipes there and not your average corn crop.
