A Dodge WC-series 6×6 1½ ton World War II truck, just sitting in a Dutch small town center on a Saturday afternoon, early March. There was plenty of opportunity and space for a full walk-around photo session, so let’s look into it. Quite literally.

That about wraps it up. My favorite part is (fuel) consumption: yes, 3 km per liter. That’s 7.1 mpg. FYI, ‘benzine’ is gasoline, ‘gas’ is LPG. The rest pretty much speaks for itself, I guess.

Exactly 40 minutes later (according to the JPG-files) and almost at home, I walked by this parallel parked 2021 Bentley Continental GT Speed with a 6.0 liter W12 engine. Something you don’t see every day. Not in my neighborhood, anyway.
