I want to share with you a funny story about Wim, aka "The Nostradamus of tanks" Shocked

Wim and I first met in Full in 2012, that day we managed to take a look at the Museum's workshop were they were working on their newly acquired BMP-1. Back in 2013, that's pretty much what happened:

12:00 AM Massimo: "Hey Wim, look, it's the BMP-1 running, the same one we saw last year in the workshop"
12:02 AM Wim: "If they keep driving it like this, it will go back to the workshop very soon..."
02:40 PM The BMP-1 broke down on the off-road area. The engine was dead
02:55 PM An M-113 towed the poor BMP-1 away

On my video you can see the BMP-1 and, at the very end, the moment it was towed away:

I think there is a lesson to learn here, next time Wim suggest you to drive more carefully, you better listen to him Laughing

If you wonder why some pictures from Massimo are a little bit cloudy Mr. Green

We saw this truck during the event. Do you know the exact model?

The tractor is easy: Oshkosh M911.
The little French truck is a Simca-Unic-Marmon-Bocquet MH600BS.

You are welcome!
Edit: The SUMB has remarkably made appearances in mainstream movies, like Bad Boys II...

And I remembered an incident I was called to during my Army days when an M911 T-boned an old Opel Ascona, fortunately without injuries to anyone.
