THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Hello to all... It is with a great deal of reservation and disappointment that we announce the cancellation of our 21st annual Northwest MogFest gathering this year. Given the Oregon governor's continued stance on large group activities, it appears it will take a miracle to allow us to open our arms...

I believe Cody was able to locate the two items from Haflinger Technik after all.
Take care.

Calling all Volvo TGB owners in the Pacific Northwest. Mark your calendars! Saturday May 16th, 2020 is the date for the annual IPD USA Garage Sale, Swap Meet and Car Show. Last year, Chris at IPD had me park my 1975 TGB1314A in the driveway into the car show area. Quite an honor! This year, I sugges...

Thanks for the invitation. I sent my phone number to you through a private message. I am very interested in seeing as much detail of the finished (these projects are ALWAYS ongoing even in the fine details) product to date. Here's to a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and all the members of The Portal Hub foru...

Congratulations!
Any photos? Video?
The rest of use are curious about the details.
Take care.

Hi Uli,
Thank you for the information.
Take care.

Uli, Thank your for the reminder. Do you have the SKF part number? The dimensions? The cost? Do you plan to use the same size seal or one with a slightly larger internal diameter? Was the sleeve a simple press fit or did you heat the sleeve/chill the stub axle prior to installation. Jim Molloy Walde...

Aaron, We are as well! While I do not know anyone in the PNW who owns a Volvo TGB20, it certainly would be nice to greet the MVPA convoy with the full range of Volvo TGB variants along with ex-military Haflingers, Pinzgauers, Unimogs, G-wagens, Saurers, Land Rovers, French Lohr, MAN, Hanomag, DKW/Au...

Vince, In the first twenty years, we had a bit of rain four times that I recall. On sunny clear days with high barometric pressure, high temps can rise into the 90's and low 100's. When cloudy, we tend to see mid 70's and 80's. Around 7:00 pm, he get a strong sea breeze that comes inland over the co...

Hello to all! I wanted to get a bit of an early start this year with some details of what is planned for 2020 at Waldersee Farm. Dates for NWMF2020 are August 13th-16th. Theme: The Oregon Trail Along with many Unimogs, Land Rovers and Pinzgauers and other European, the numbers of Haflingers and Volv...

Very good thought! One of those priceless "teaching opportunities" that forward control truck drivers can impart upon the reckless and uneducated. A true potentially life saving eye opener.
Take care.

Thank you! Mine was not meant to be aggressive either. Just a reminder to all. I have no doubt about your driving skills and understanding about driving these vehicles at speed. You are absolutely correct about the importance of maintaining adequate (some people might think excessive) braking distan...
