What's big, heavy, yellow and smelly?
Our Unimog
The best off roader in the world, a big badass mercedes-benz. We'd fancied a Landy, and had been considering different types (road, race or resto) when I found this beast in a scrapyard about a mile from my house.
It took about 3 days to talk Derek into it, shortly afterwards it got dropped off, above.
Basically, for the few hundred pounds we paid, a f**king bargain. She's got 7,500Km on the clock, and it may actually be true. I think she (Ingrid) has just been parked outside for a few years. The cab's knacked, the chassis is good.
Slowly but surely, we're getting there. It will be on the road in 2005, it will, it will.
Almost certainly, it won't have a roof!.
But it will be a very bright orange, and will have a shiny grille!
It is very bright orange and has a shiny grille!
It is now covered in mud
And I got it stuck!
Well, it's time to draw this bit to a close and move on to playing with and upgrading the mog.
