What a beast!

[Tonybvi]

Complete with quad bike and back terrace!

 

[Glandwr]

That would impress in S Morocco. Saw some wonderful ones on Unimog bases. There seemed to be a macho competition to see howmany spare wheels that you could strap on!

 

[Okta]

Looks like an ideal target for a drone if you stray into the wrong areas.

 

[trevskoda]

Looks like 16 to the gallon.

On a good day descending from a high mountain.

lacking a certain something ?

This wee camper will be bumbling around Scotland for the summer

Looks like 16 to the gallon.

What's that? Inches to the mile/km, I presume?!

Old 4x4 truck, suspect he would be happy if he could manage 8mpg.

Must admit, these days I am put off a lot of these overlanders just because of the cost of running them. Don't know why when I aren't thinking about getting one, the mind is a funny thing at time, well mine is

That's the stuff dreams are made of Cal!

 

[The laird]

I follow the gap decaders on you tube ,they've sold one overlander and are in the process of building from scratch a new overlander on an older man chassis great videos and great travel videos when they're on the road
Please watch and subscribe to their channel you won't be disappointed

I saw this in the Aldi car park at Castle Donington a few days ago, not a Unimog but it was interesting

 

[mark61]

That 911 is a sweety.

Love looking at these beasts, 0 interest in having one though. Old Vario or Daily is as big as I'd want to go.

Cale, is this you given up with the house hunting now?

I’ll know this time tomorrow if I can give up house hunting. Like Mark I enjoy admiring these machines but no urge to own one. The one pictured is owned by a young Swiss couple who sold there MAN and bought this and are travelling Scotland for six months and self schooling there kids.

years ago a big german van pulled on to the beach at Taghazoute. it had a 750 Dakar rally bike on a rear rack, a motorised paraglideron the roof and was towing a chunky looking quad bike on atrailer with a jetski ! i said to Eileen , if he's good looking as well i'll have to ask him to leave. as we wached he climbed out of the cab - George clooney eat your heart out ! had a good laugh about round the fire later .he thought it hilarious .

Good luck with your offer

I thought it was now illegal to sell a MAN, even a WOMAN……sorry, I’ll get me coat

 

[n brown]

apparently , flogging a MAN is ok , but flogging women is frowned on . so much for equality eh ?

 

[runnach]

I’ve flogged a few dead horses, Mr Broon!!

Mercedes L Series or Kurzhauber" (short-bonnet) truck

Probably less than 5mpg ....

Looks cool BUT I wouldn't want the running costs or mechanical complication (as in everything is massively over engineered and thus heavy )
And a lot of these types of trucks will never see the terrain they are capable of operating on ....
Certainly not in the UK ....

And the thought of the cost of schlepping over to Morocco or something ...at the speeds they can usually manage .

Nahh thing I'll stay with what I've got Taa
