    I don't see why not. The latest eligible entry submitted will be the one that I'll include in the voting thread.

    "Serious tools"
    Pentax K10D
    Linemen docking the worlds' largest floating crane
    Last week



    "If you pass a winch-wagen, you know you're going seriously too fast".

    ^^They say this at my job often.

    Anyway. The line-men transport the lines between vessels and the quays. It is one of the best paying jobs in the country, but also one of the heaviest. At about 45 most of them will retire because of their health. Lifting cables sometimes 100's of kilograms heavy multiple times a day, these guys are of the kind you don't want to get into a fight with. Pictured is one of their cars, modified especially for them. They carry a heacy winch on the back amongs other safety equipment, lights, radio equipment etcetera. They got a rather large engine in them, modified for the extra load of the winch. Thus they can achieve serious speeds. The linemen always try to leave their station as late as possible, so they always drive fast. I've been passed many times, driving 100mph... In the water are two of their "vletjes", or small vessels bringing the lines to the winch-cars from the ships.
