Unimog!

There’s no getting away from it: the future of mankind is doomed. Forsaken. Done for. We’re almost certainly going to be either a) consumed by some form of zombie apocalypse, or b) forced to live in and enjoy a world where Justin Bieber records another hit record. Thankfully, Mercedes has engineered a vehicle tailored specifically towards the Bieberpocalypse future. It’s called the Unimog. And it’s now been updated. This makes us very excited.

*ebays unimog*

Ooh one with a starting price of 1p, no bids yet *bids*

This belongs to a friend 🙂 :

Linky for details.

Much to the annoyance of my family for years, any time I see one I shout “UNIMOG” There was a one in our street last week…

I’ve always wanted one of these:

Volvo C303

I’ll have a crew cab with the hiab on please.
Actually, scratch that. I’ll have the stoopid amg unimog they did.

Funny, I was just reading about the new ‘Mog on Zite, and I. Want. One. Now!

Seadog, have you thought about a Pinzgauer? Available in 4 wheel and 6 wheel versions. As long as it can get traction, it’ll get up almost anything. Bit cramped though.

I love the articulation in pic 3, driving over the rubble field. Stick an expedition equipped back on it, and you could take it anywhere; even Glastonbury… 😀

They are machines of dreams. But like I think they are best as dreams…

I nearly got ran over by one on my road bike this afternoon. I didn’t mind as it was awesome.

My brother used to pick me up from work in a Mog with a chipper fixed to the front bumper. It used to scare the bejesus out of anyone else in the car park. Heh.

I have had an urge to get a Unimog to convert to a camper for far too many years. The only thing stopping me is money and space to keep one!

NEED! WANT! MUST….HAVE!

Is the passenger seat baby seat compatible?

Thankfully I live somewhere where there isn’t any reason to own one of those.

They are great but for a bit more affordable fun find a Haflinger 😆

Go anywhere.

This one please:

Looks perfect for the school run in Surbiton.

Here’s one towing a train

Pistonheads has a recent article on the latest model, worth a gander!

Theres a unimog graveyard on a farm in north wales, quite a few there in various states of rusting

Love Unimogs, wanted one but could not justify the cost so went for a VW T3 Syncro with Scooby power – almost as much fun and pretty capable off-road for minibus!!

School run you say, too many kids? I think this may fit the bill for the urban runabout to beat the Q7s:

Hmm I’d love one of those new unimogs with a unicat conversion 8)

Matt_oab, is it just me or does that interia pic not match the exterior pic?

Never mind the Unimog I’ll have one of these!!!

I’ve set my sights slightly lower and have been dropping hints about one of these for my birthday for some time now;

I’m 38 and 5/6ths I’ll have you know.

😀

Just mentioned the new Unimogs to a friend who’s into vehicles like these and he said they’re shite off road. He does drive all sorts of tractors, excavators and weird machines for a living mind you so he’s spoiled for choice. Still want one though. Been watching a tree surgeon today using his with a shredder on the front.
Hmm.. must get on a course at Myerscough for my chainsaw tickets. 🙂

mmmmmog, love them, but then they’re no match for a tatra 8×8

or a Gama Goat, especially this beast……… Modified Gama Goat

Love Unimogs, but the 6×6 G-Wagen has also tickled me in a Mad Max style!

Yep the new 6×6 looks good:

I’d love to drive that to the shops and upset people

Thankfully I live somewhere where there isn’t any reason to own one of those.

Reason? Reason? Who needs a reason? It’s a Unimog! That’s the only possible reason!
Oh, and CF, I’m with you on that photo. 😀
Brakes, that photo? 😯

:?I’m sorry 6 wheel G wagon has no place here.

But I’m glad to see the Africa version of the Mercedez lorries though

saw this nice example in France:

Must have cost a fortune in fuel getting down to the South from Deutschland.

We were trekking in Wadi Rum in Jordan a few years back. Miles from anywhere but could see a dust cloud on the horizon coming in our direction across the open desert. Watched it getting closer and closer… turned out it was a Unimog fire tender converted to a camper (like the one below) piloted by a couple of mental, wild-haired and bearded Belgians.

Have wanted one ever since (A Unimog that is, not a mental, wild haired and bearded Belgian)

Nearly fell of my bike in awe when I spotted this parked up near me last summer! Awesome bit of kit.

Go on, admit it, who went straight to the ‘Bay after perusing this thread… I know I did! 😀
