| grazza Veteran Date registered: Apr 2010 Location: Australia Vehicle(s): W460 230GE 1988 - OM606 turbo diesel, 722.608 auto Posts: 277  | A Tasmanian Encounter While visiting relatives in Tassie for Christmas I caught up with Kerry and his beloved 300GD. Here are some pictures of this unique looking vehicle, not sure if they have been posted here before but I am sure others will like to see it. I beleive it started life as a Mercedes Australia service vehicle and later used in the horse racing industry during races. Perhaps Kerry can eleborate on how the G was used in horse racing? I love the colour combination and the 16" steel wheels, without requiring the wheel arch flares. Tasmania is a popular touring destination so add it to your list if you are planning on coming down-under. -Graham

But I guess Obama has made this A-OK in the US army at least Not that there is anything wrong with that! | |
