Default Save the CMP...

Steve
From bable fish translation it seems like they are going to scrap it..


To the edges of the road that goes from Bologna to Bazzano, to the height of the locality Mildew, on the right, this cimelio of the second world war is found. Draft of Canadian a Chevrolet truck in equipment to the English Armed Forces, adapted with special circles, in order to travel on the tracks of ferrotramvia the Casalecchio- Bazzano that passes next. To notice, behind the cabin, the valves of three methane bottles in order to make to march the motor to cycle Eight originates them. The railroad had a period of great affluence during the last conflict when on the director was put off center some units of factories of military interest like the Ducati and others. Restored in the post-war period (here when this Chevrolet was employed), was abandoned to favor of the rubber in the years of "miracle", finished which, recently it is returned in function. Not for the post-war medical report for which there is the risk of the furnace of the ironworks. Someone can save it? Who can the face. Task to professor the Ogliari, that one of the museum of the transports of Ranco. Someone has one better idea?

Default Babel

Amusing translation.



It looks more like a Ford and it has a rear axle replacing the front. Must've been fun to steer off the tracks!

Shame about the risk of the furnace of the ironworks.

There are enough CMPs suffering death at the moment.
