Looking at the photo - We think driving a CMP in boots is a challenge, imagine trying to do it in klompen....

Thanks for posting this link Hanno. Even non Facebook members can browse through the picture page. I was trying to find some more pictures of Danish Diamond T 975's, but sadly only found just a few!

Yes it funny how little documentation there is of certain vehicles, This FB group has really brought forward a lot of pictures and histories, to the wider audience.
But it also show how bad we have been at preserving vehicles here in this country, as close to all of the Commonwealth and all the heavy american stuff has completely disappeared.
