Two nice Sisu A-45:s on the parking lot. Now in civilian service.

What this is in english? Battlefield kitchen, or something? I buy it from auction. And some Ural 375 14.00-20 tyres.

Today, sixth of december, is Finnish Independence Day. My english language is not-so-good, so I give you a link, if you want to read more about it:
Independence Day (Finland) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Every Independence day there is a parade in some finnish city. This year it was in Riihimäki. Finnish TV2-cannel show parade, here you can watch it:
Itsenäisyyspäivän paraati Riihimäellä | Toista | Yle Areena | yle.fi

About 18:40, tracked and wheeled vehicles come. Trucks are mainly Sisu's, and there are few Scania and Mercedes too.
