Favorite Vehicles
In no particular order.
1. Citroen SM
When I was a kid I had a Corgi die cast that was my favorite car. I drove in one once when I was 9, a friend's uncle had one. Not my picture, I grabbed it from the Facebook group Citroen SM.
2. Ford trick/trophy truck
These are desert racing trucks. Whether it is a trick truck or trophy truck depends on the race circuit. There are quite a few races throughout the southwest and Baja. There's not a lot of prize money but there is a decent amount of sponsorship money. It's very expensive as the trucks almost always take a lot of damage. The vast majority of the trucks are domestic and the Ford look is by far my favorite. Picture from the 2019 Parker 425.
3. International Type 3
This is what Walker Fire just bought with a combination of grant funds and donations. I've liked these since the first time I saw one which I think was on the Green Fire in 2006. So cool!
4. Scania
I discovered these on Facebook awhile back. This generation of them is now a little older but there are still plenty in service. They're in Europe, Australia and New Zealand mostly. This picture is from Australia in 2019 and I also have some pictures from a trip to NZ in 2019.
5. Older Scania
I just love these.
6. Defender 110
Bad ass!
7. Defender 90
Also bad ass!
8. Tatra water tender
I first saw one of these in 2013. On subsequent trips to Maui, they were either gone or I couldn't find them. Then last fall, we were driving by the station in Lahaina and there it was.
