Mark Weber...so that's the identity of the infamous Webman. Cool. I've seen some of his video's and they are great. He seems like one of those old-school guys that is still personable and friendly. One thing for sure...he's fearless when it comes to offroading! We could use a guy like that out here in California...

Does anybody know when the next time the History channel is going to air the segment on the H-2. I went on their website and checked the T.V. section for future shows and could not find it. Thanks  |

Yep I have an eye for detail and I spotted Kelley first hand as I saw her go through the water. Gee I couldn't have missed it seeing that I made her movie avatar with the clips she provided on the forum one day.
And I totally agree with what they say about the camera as I have done numerous blips for the local tv stations on pottery or art. Remember SteveR (the insulation man) and his interview on TV when the H2 hit the market. He said they editing tons of what he said. Remember TV is only fluff.
I was dissappointed as they totally missed out on the "practical" issue. The H2 in my own opinion is more practical than the H1. But in the future, as the point they were making, we will see more cars/suv hybrids that are able to do more than just commute.
The guy did say that one "idiot" rolled a Hummer. And the point that I received was that the Hummer is only as good as the driver.
Another thing totally unrelated...
Don't you just love how oncoming traffic just veers outta your way like you are going to jump over the yellow lines and maul them? I know I am not over the line as I can see the line in my mirrors. but it still cracks me up.

The spot is called "Tactical to Practical" and I believe it's #1. Unfortunately, they are only showing #3-4 right now, but keep an eye out for reruns of #1.

So I have been baited Steve. I have always said you are the master.
In case anyone is interested I just posted some pictures from the Wisconsin Hummer Happening put on by Bergstrom Hummer. This event was outstanding. It hasnt rained here in two months, but it decided too yesterday which made the trails very intresting.

GREAT Show... Nicely done. The History channel usually re-plays stuff quite a bit. This one is worth recording!

As usual, you can only count on the woman in the group to have a modicum of sense. That was my H2 in the spots, and me driving through the water. In fact, they were shooting that show the same day as the pics I posted of my H2 fording deep water.
Steve is not a dickhead, and as usual, television shows about 2% of the footage they shot.
I thought the show was pretty well done.

Did watch the HC show, but saw H2 appearing less than two seconds, hiding behind three H1s.
 Or did I tune in too late?
Got good impression of H1, though.
Maybe an alternative for follow up of H2, when H3 doesn't turn out like a Hummer is intended to be. |

Damn! Just missed it! The program was already into GPS by the time I tuned in.
Check out the OkC Chapter Page!

OH MY LORD I have been working my fingers to the bone getting ready for a trade show
with my one item. Everyone says it takes that one special item to make you wealthy!!!
And I have finally created it!!! For those of you who don't know, I am a potter and
and I also own a very small cosmetic company that makes Tattoo After care lotion. And yes...I have a couple of Tattoos. How else would I know the stuff works that I make huh???
Okay, so now most folks have this impression of a biker chick of the infamous HummerGirl!!! LOL!!!

It's all about perspective...
The H1 is loaded with all sorts of parts. I may not have the mix perfectly right...but from what I hear, there are parts from GM, Ford, Chrysler and a host of other manufacturers in that thing. The H1 is no pure-breed by any stretch of the imagination.
Several H1 owners have come to regard the utilization of GM parts as a positive aspect. After getting the pricing and availability of some H1 exlusive parts...nobody bats an eyelash at the convenience, affordability and availability of time-tested GM parts! I understnad an H2 heater-core to cost about $175, whereas an H1's cost about $2,500....come on back good buddy???
You want the truth??? Here's the truth: the unique dynamic that makes a Hummer a Hummer is this: fully independent suspension, gear-driven hubs for amazing clearance and CTIS. The H2 doesn't really have these features...it's more along the lines of conventional SUV's...but it is packed with lots of reinforcement, a super 4x4 system and lots of great feaures...
Bottom line: we're having a blast with 'em!!! And aside from a weak tie-rod issue, they seem to be pretty darn solid. The smiles on our faces says enough!

<The tragedy in all this...is that we're all grossly overlooking the REAL star of that show: Mark Weber, aka Webman...now there ya have a solid guy to represent the Hummer community! he was out there representin' and keeping it real with his kick-ass slantback!!>
Ok Steve you sucked me in. I can no longer just lurk behind the scenes of this forum. Thank You for the compliments everyone. I love anything Hummer and just love being off road. As far as fearless goes, Well I am not to sure about that. I have been very fortunate to learn from some of the very best the Hummer world has to offer. I love to make movies from our events, I never stop being amazed at what these trucks are capable of.
As the President of the Wisconsin HUMMER Owners club I have been following this forum to see how it applies to our h2 members. This place is an awesome resource for owners and I will continue to recomend it to our owners.
Thank You
Mark Weber
