    Took the VX to a car show...

    All the winners were late model American Muscle cars, but thought these were interesting.


    This is a Mercedes-Benz designed to pull aircraft, but modified with a 5.7L turbo diesel. Only has a 93.5" wheel base and it looks great. I really liked the sticker...











    This was a really cool Jeep and in great shape.




    Hope that everyone had a fun and safe Labor Day.

    Earl,
    is that a Unimog? Yeah, cool sticker, but I like more when creative people convert them Unimogs to campers.

    I love the cab forward design of the Mogs and that Jeep.
    That thing looks tough . I wonder how much it weighs?
    That 5.7 prob put out a lot of power. I think most of those Unimogs
    only had something like 68 hp, but could pull stumps with the torque.

    Original had 88 hp.

    It weighs amost 5 tons, right at 9800 lbs.

    He said with the wheel cups it can almost turn on a dime...

    I can remember a article in Road and Track about the Mog back in the late 60's, they were pulling train cars or something
    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.
