Reminds me of my Dads factory, he had wartime ammunition boxes on the walls as electrical junction boxes... the one welded to the gate as a letter box is still in place! Waste not want not!

Default MB/GPW in there as well???

Hi Hanno.

Just a wee bit farther into that clip, I think there is a civvie MB/GPW going down the road, complete with rear wheel skirts and towing a matching caravan.

Cute!


David
