A SNOW TRAC in Bagdhad?

Occasionally I trade emails with a member who goes by the name TOMMO (Alan Thompson) here on the ForumsForums. Tommo is supposed to be the proud owner of a Snow Trac in England.

Many of you remember him and he is still alive and shooting bad guys. But he doesn't get much chance to get onto the forums.

I thought I would pass along a few little updates.

Tommo never got his Snow Trac. His brother was supposed to pick it up, I gather that occurred, but then Tommo never actually got it. The way Tommo was talking about his brother I actually was confused because I thought he was talking bad about BigAl (again). :yum:

He is training twice a day for a Triathalon and still heavily involved in "contract" military work. He's made it back home to England several times, but spends most of his time in Iraq guarding convoys, dignitaries, and other high profile targets.

His goal, when he finally decides to go home (for good) is to pick up another Snow Trac and convert it into a Military Snow Trac.
 
Mike, sorry I was unclear, he is NOT home in England. He is still in Iraq.

He also says he is having fun shooting a Barrett 50 caliber rifle!
 
I've gotten a couple more emails from TOMMO and figured I'd post parts that might be of interest to many of you who know him.

Regarding Ice Queen's show winning Snow Trac:
I love Snow Queens ST in Brit Arctic Cammo theme, great stuff.
Regarding his own (or lack of) Snow Trac:
Well the ST4 is out the window until i'm back in the UK for good and i can spend time trying to find another good vehicle to purchase!
Regarding BigAl's successful test run of his KT7:
Hope Al is ok and things aren't too ruff for him back there? I do think he has done a great job with his resto though! I will sit down some time and read months and months worth of chat too see if i can't bring myself up to speed with events with you guys and girls!!
Regarding the gun laws in England vs Iraq vs the USA:
i love the US law's that allow you to do this sought of thing. In the UK you can't even have a hand gun anymore! All i have now is a German K98 Mauser in 308 and a few shot guns and a .22 rim fire etc. God i miss my Pistols.............oh well never mind, i'll just have to move to the US i suppose?

Regarding the members here:
Hope all is well and the gang are on forum!

So how is the ST4 gang and Big Al getting on? I need to site and read some of the stuff but i am so busy over here and when i'm not busy i'm training 2 times a day with my Triathlon regime etc. Hope they are all ok and there is lots of joking going on amongst the ranks!! Will have to sign on and take a look at Al's thing!

Tommo

 
Glad to hear that Tommo is ok. Tell him to take care and hurry home and find a snowtrac. What did happen to the snowtrac his brother was supposed to fetch? Did it exist? Did the brother fetch it? Where is it now? When he returns to England he can have a ride in my snowtrac if he wants with the de-ac. Sterling alongside!
