Time for a little resurrection
What makes it interesting is that the terminal is well over 30 meters underground in the middle of a pretty complex maintenance tunnel system beneath downtown Helsinki (our capital)
Took me ages to find the entrance to the network and when I finally did I couldn't turn there because of a tram track repair site conveninently in between the lanes so I had to circle around some distance away. The max height in the tunnel system is 4,0, my truck is 3,9 (3,7 with bellows down). Scraped the dusts from the ceiling lights.
Was an interesting drive down the constantly descenting road there, felt like driving into a mine.

Some very cool jobs there. Mine isn't as exciting as most of these but we have our fun on the farm. I love working in the great outdoorsy get to mess around on the machinery, bikes etc. there's all ways something happening out here, like this 1st pic.
Was my day off, had made my way through the better part of a crate of beer when I get the call from one of the lads. Bulls have broken into the crop paddock can I go sort them out. So yeah no worries I'm a bit pissed but what can go wrong.... Take a look
I get to enjoy great views of the city every day
Unless it winter at 4.30am getting the cows in
The kids get to come to work with dad.
I get to see amazing sunrises 18days in a row, the 3 sleep ins
This one is the day the tornado hit, the sky was black as black at 1.30pm in the arvo. Snapped this pic of a paddock we call Gum Tree. Same day my mate from the farm house horse trekking made the national news. He got caught in it in his safari and was thrown just shy of 60yards.
I'm always taking pics of something around the farm so expect more from me on this thread.
Hope I didn't bore you all tooooo much haha

Go for Matty. Glad you like it, I was trying to hold the Suzuki Dr between my legs with out getting blown over while peaking my camera out under my oil skin. Was buzzed when I got to the shed and had a look on the camera screen and saw how it turned out.

Here's a link to an article about the tornado and my bro's who got sucked into it.
On a separate note this same guy is responsible for some of new Zealand's most amazing UFO footage. You tube name is, horsefarmer1000.
Should check it out

*sigh* 550 EUR poorer than in the morning, at least I could limp to the tire shop myself as I noticed it right away and duct taped it in place so it`ll hold the air in better. Sidewall damage so it can`t be plugged... Was about half an hour away from leaving work early to do this:
Sum redneck engineering If you don`t got a boom you make one!
Typical failure of a MAN truck pre `04, the original welded hinge had worn so loose the door was drooping bad enough to miss the lock latch, I changed the hinge to the newer bolt-on version but to do that the old one has to be cut out, which apparently made the metal behind it brittle enough to break and the new hinge pushed through the door, this time I decided to do it right and dropped the whole door to have better access to cut, bash and bend the door back in shape. Took me the whole dang weekend and it still needs some adjustment but it`s virtually impossible to get spot on alone...
