ALFREDO Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) ".......................and the Austrian supplier Steyr-Daimler-Puch Spezialfahrzeug AG." At least some more people in Thailand recognize(d) that there is a also a AUSTRIA, my home country, on that world and not only AUSTRALIA! When I right remember, it was about 6.000.000.- Baht price per (small) Toyota? Based fire truck - finished in Thailand and (small) fire-extinguishing boat. That should have some room for -kickbacks- Edited August 6, 2013 by ALFREDO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
