Ah, the industrious Pole. Like the paper wasp and the silkworm, Poles can create something out of nothing just by applying their hard won traditions of alcoholism and extreme privation. Here we have a selection of farm vehicles made from motorcycles and old Jeeps.

I’ve never actually seen this in my Polar travels, but I’m sure it happens. My grandfather had a huge, handmade metal grinding wheel in their garage out in the country that had probably been in use since the turn of the century.
