As part of the grand opening of Manitoba Hydro's new downtown location, they had a restored Hydro truck on display: a 1952 GMC.

A Mercedes S class towing a heavy duty double axle trailer.  On the trailer was a John Deere tractor with a front end loader and a backhoe.     Shocked    Not sure if the S class driver was on drugs, but a 1 ton diesel pick up would have been under load with that behind the hitch...

He wasn't on drugs, he was on warranty. Grin

Just wondering how many cars people see this holiday weekend with their lights off. I saw 3 last night in a 4 hour period. Including the same car twice, 2 hours apart. One of which was a Ferrari or Lambo. I guess money can't buy intelligence

On Hwy 6 in G  a blue Lotus Elan S4 with a hard top.   So tiny! and the hard top so high by modern standards.   Even compared to a Miata it is small and narrow.

 Back end was a bit low to the ground which may just have been a trunk full of stuff.

While its usefulness was never in question, duct tape's crashworthiness was still in doubt.
