Esteban (banned from ADV last year) is a local guy here who has a Unimog on his property in the mountains. He uses it as a fire truck and a snow plow. Pretty cool vehicle for sure.

according to this http://unimogcentre.com/unimogfaq.html

top speed of a stock unimog is 55mph though some of the new ones can get up to 70.

And for the uber-wealthy-hummer-ain't-nearly-big-enough crowd, the Mercedes/Brabus Unimog Black!

Big HP bump, interior lifted from Mercedes S-class,

Or you could just buy a nice little condo in Boulder...

I'm sure it's a very good/competant vehicle but that thing is absolutely hideous.

Sure, you couldn't see how hideous it was if you were driving

There was that thread last year about TT driving an older Mog from MT to FL. It didn't go very fast, didn't like Interstates, and got poor fuel range.

But he made it.

If by "third world" you're referring to post-WWII German farmers trying to recover from the collapsed German economy then you're bang on.

No, just one of the ones I saw on the local CL.

But I think I'm going the Other Way, meaning a Cheap Van, with the rest of the Play Fund going towards the two-wheel side of the fence.
