Default 6 Mar 13 Ottawa Metro story about Bill Hebb's water truck

In the past few years competition in the newspaper business has meant paid tabloid and broadsheet papers, as well as free "bus rider" sized publications. Today's example of the Ottawa Metro (p24) in the Drive section, has a full page story with 6 colour photos of Bill Hebb's 15-cwt water truck. Not sure where he or the truck are, but it is a runner.

Guess Bill couldn't decide which way to mount the tires, so he picked one facing N, the other facing S.

Cheers

Default Well I know where it came from....

CC 4 ........

I guess the car dealer resold it to Bill Hebb....

Glad it is being enjoyed.... but sadly not in Ottawa.
