Default KTR Twente Achterhoek Weekend: Rolling Steel 2016 Berkel Bridge

See https://www.flickr.com/photos/130870...h/29643485732/ for a set of great photos taken at this event.

What was impressive was the boat bridge owned by a collector, which was laid out for the vehicles to cross a small river. Very professional!

There always seems to be a good selection of "special" vehicles at this event....our beloved CMP's and Commonwealth vehicles, but also some of the rarer US vehicles.....Ford GP, GMC AFKWX, Chevrolet M6 etc.

I posted a few short video clips on YouTube in an effort to share some of the fun and thrill I experienced. In the hands of a good driver the Sherman is a fast tank!

Default How about the Directors Cut

Hi Hanno

Thanks for posting those, they are great, but they just wet our appetite for more. Is there any chance of the Directors Cut version?

Cheers Phil
