trickyrich Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Ok while having a long boring nightshift I have come up with an idea for a GB which could include almost everyone! A South Latin American GB Ok after lots of requests by everyone.....well Steve anyway, I had a think about this and decided to open it up to the rest of Latin America. This GB will now cover anything and everything South American "of the border", as long as it was used there or built there it’s ok. There should be a bit of something for everybody here with all forms of transport covered, both military and civilian, even the automotive crowd with Dakar bikes/cars/trucks So countries eligible; Argentina Bolivia Brazil Chile Colombia Costa Rica Cuba Dominican Republic Ecuador El Salvador Gaudeloupe Guatemala Guyana Haiti Honduras Mexico Nicaragua Panama Paraguay Peru Puerto Rico Suriname Uruguay Venezuela Plus French Guiana Falkland Islands Martinique Saint Barthelemy Saint Martin The are some amazing and interesting subjects available which you wouldn't normally see or think about.....so what do you think?

trickyrich Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Great idea!! always been interested in South American aviation etc. Don`t forget also the Brazillians had troops in Italy during WW2 as well. I didn't know that, there's some really interesting SA aviation that I hope a GB like this would bring out. Hiya Trickyrich Anywhere Bikes and Cars can be involved you can count me in... Steve As long as it's in SA it'll be fine, would love to see some of the Dakar stuff! Oh NO!!!!! Not again!!!! You have tricked me!!! OK I was thinking of some Argentinian A-4 Skyhawk's.

D1fuN0 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Your Highness... Just thought of something reaaaaaally funny... Theres not actually many Dakar bike models, probably only half dozen I can think of, off the top of my head, and they are all Paris Dakar bikes Likewise, I think, for the few Dakar cars that are available. Problem arises as they are all 80's -90's era cars & bikes. But fear not... I shall not be swayed... Steve the clueless exiled in Africa's bottom... EDIT - However, kind sir.. if you were to allow say, everything South of the US, then one could include the Pan America's rally too Edited January 12, 2015 by MAD STEVE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 EDIT - However, kind sir.. if you were to allow say, everything South of the US, then one could include the Pan America's rally too that would be too easy! Nope for the moment everything south of the Panama Canal is in, unless popular demand wants to add Central America as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 EDIT - However, kind sir.. if you were to allow say, everything South of the US, then one could include the Pan America's rally too Ok I have relented to the massive pressure and changed this to include the Rest of Latin America. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Assuming this is for 2016? I'll give it a go. Peruvian P-47? Argentinian Civil registered Spitfire PR.11? Ecuadorean Jaguar in 'flipped' camouflage? Argentinian brick red coloured Lancaster? Brazilian built VW Beetle (just to be unimaginative?) I'm struggling for any ideas Trevor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Sounds interesting. Can we include Belize and any subjects therein? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Sounds interesting. Can we include Belize and any subjects therein? actually that is a interesting question? Officially it is not a Latin American country but a Central American, maybe because English is the official language and not Spanish or Portuguese. A lot of the Caribbean are also not considered Latin American either. So it looks like a language thing! Anyway that would make this all very confusing, so unless there are any real problems with this then as long as the country is below Mexico and Cuba it is ok........... though I prefer sticking with the countries listed as there is plenty of variety there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
