<p>Yoohoo! Anybody here?</p> <p>Kind of empty in here, lately! Lots of MIA´s. I wonder where they are?</p> <p>Good Morning!</p> <p>I went on a trip up north yesterday, to take a look at a fire truck. The beast turned out to be exactly what we are looking for, is in good order and the price seems to be right. It´s got a 375 cu. air-cooled, direct-injection Diesel engine, with not much hp, but lots of torque. It has a 5-speed manual gear box, but you only need 2 of the speeds, plus reverse, of course [swg] I have not driven a beast like this one for at least 35 years, so the test drive was a real trial, not for the truck, but for me [(-D]</p> <p><a href="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Feuer5_zps4fa4c907.jpg"><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Feuer5_zps4fa4c907.jpg" alt=" " border="0" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Feuer4_zpsdefd4240.jpg"><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Feuer4_zpsdefd4240.jpg" alt=" " border="0" /></a></p> <p>That´s me behind the wheel ...</p> <p>Now I need to "persuade" my colleagues to agree to the deal and get our finance manager to cash out the required funds. I can already picture me driving it on a medieval market place, the blue lights flashing... It´ll be fun!</p> <p>Have a good one!</p>
