Was an Army Medic for many years and Physician assistant/paramedic. The last #'s are the last three of my service #.
 
over here?? i missed a couple of obvious things on that one like the R hand drive and the plate, as well as the rear wing and the shape of the hatch.
it has been many years since i have seen a merkur.
what was the cos? 2L turbo 4 pushing about 220hp? i remember reading about them.
 
the one in the photo wasn't mine, but very similar. they were available both LH and RH drive depending on what market they went to. there are at least a handful of them here in the states, but you have to be a little crafty to bring one over. mine currently resides in arlington tx.

they were 220-250hp stock, mine was a bit over 500 which is very easily achievable on those. it took around 40k to purchase and ship it.
 
Note the user name says "Bounty Hunter" NOT "The Bounty Hunter"...that's taken by a certain gent out of Hawaii that has considerable celeberity status on A & E television...please don't get us confused (my tattoos are better, but he makes more money in an hour than I do in a year).

I'm a tenderfoot at this chainsaw stuff. Just poking a little fun at myself.

Mine was given to me in highschool. Its sorta rhymes with my last name and was brought about at a moment that was reenacted on ''The Seventies Show'' People who I went to highschool with still call me that

It reminded me of my 2.0 Craftsman when I first logged on to this site.

and in FIA Group A race form, a hell of a lot more HP than that...

Watched the Euro Texaco cars here live in I think '87 when Bathurst was a round of the WTCC, then subsequent years watching the local Johnson, Miedeke, Brock cars etc scream across the top of the mountain at McPhillamy park, pop off valves fluttering and exhaust belching flames at 130MPH, then JD taking his RS500 over to Europe and much to the Europeans chagrin, flogging their backsides with a better built, bigger HP antipodean version.
They were a handful, but they flew.

Steve NW WI - sort of self explanatory, name is Steve, live in northwestern Wisconsin. It just helps people figure out where I'm coming from, and I use it on a few other forums as well.

For some of the people at the GTG this spring that didn't think I was far enough N to be from NW, I split the state roughly by Highway 29 N&S, and Highway 51 E&W, that puts me well into NW. If you want to be picky I could be Steve EWMNBSCBCC WI (Extreme West, Mostly North But Still Could Be Called Central).

Edit: My avatar comes from an ag forum I'm on, the little red dot shows my approximate location.
 
Well, some of us like to hang out in the top of the tree before we cut it down. So that explains the 'canopy' part.

And somehow I managed 3 daughters, so in a house with 4 women, I take pride in the 'boy' part.
 
Well, I have a lot of these Bow saws. This is only half of what I have. :)
