Most tortured CMP
 
CMPs, particularly in the timber business in Australia had a really hard life. I've seen many which were seriously battered but still working over the years.
What's the worst you have seen?
I'll start off with this Chev I photographed back in the 1970s near Healesville in Victoria.

Then there's this one although the damage looks to be post-mortem.

They certainly had their money's worth out of the tyre.

Here's a Ford which had even put a rod through the block.

Hughie would proably do the same with this one and a bit of compressed air...
