Default The other staff car

Wow, fast reply Rob - I am still sitting here at work (things are slow tonight) adding information to the Flickr photo set. The fifth staff car is the one owned by Frantisek, the guy in the Czech republic. If you search around MLU you may find his posts about the truck - he put up a bunch of nice pictures of it, as well as some useful interior shots you might recall.

I was out at the dacha on Tuesday, but just long enough to cut a Christmas tree - it was about -22C and the windchill made it closer to -30C. Just popped into the shop for a few minutes, but had no time to do anything. If I had put the propane heater on, I might have got it up to a tolerable -10C or so, which might have bearable enough to work in.

I'll see if I can find any internal links to Frantisek's posts.

By the way, I was talking CMPs with my work colleague who asked if I had thought of doing any research into Oshawa sources, and he found the Oshawa Museum's Virtual Museum site that has a gallery of pics including a bunch of CMP stuff. Here is an interesting shot of a '45 staff car which seems to have been undergoing some sort of wading tests.
