That's cool, Hanno. Thanks for sharing it.



That pig really didn't want to be saved, did it?

Is the Dutch word for Fire Brigade (Brandweer) made from two words?

Interesting Dodge conversion too.

Not often one can see Dutch CMPs on film, which is why I posted it here.

Yes: brand = fire and weer = defense. The Dutch language makes use of a lot of contractions, hence brandweer.
