All my girls together

I've been waiting to take this picture for over a year now. Feels good to see them all together finally. BTW the blue 416 is still for sale.

RE: All my girls together

Very nice. Your 416 made me contemplate for a second on unloading my 463 and taking on two cars again...almost.

Window Curtains

I know you were just adding some humor, but that G actually did have factory option window curtains in its previous life. You can see them stowed on the side of both windows here:

Last I knew they were in another member's truck.

Re: All my girls together

Looks like the winch is removed too. If I recall correctly, didn't someone request the winch when you purchased the vehicle. Also, you were contemplating removing the winch?

Hey Dutch, I like the tag on the front of that Honda in the background. I couldn't take the pain any longer with yesterday's homecoming game. (Crying) That is when I decided to change the bulb on my fog lamp. Did you ever find a cover for that Honda?

The winch is on the same G that has the curtains.

Yessir... and UK registration plates as well.

Beats me as to why would somebody in the USA import a Unimog from the UK where they must surely be more expensive than many other LHD markets

RE: All my girls together

Yes she is a ex UK fire truck. Yes I probably could have paid less in an other country other than England, but she's a very hard to come by configuration( double cab, long wheel base, fast axle, and almost brand new). As w/ any of the mogs, no two are configured alike. Some time you just have to act, ya know? I've been looking for for this set up for while to build a expo-camper on. The monster below has been my inspiration.

Re: All my girls together

That reminds me...wasn't there a Top Gear episode on the Unimog? Does anyone have that video they might want to share?

We might be going a bit off the subject in this topic. I know this topic was to show a "family" picture that included a G. I'm not a moderator; so I will let someone else make that decision. At least, we are still talking about an MB 4x4 product. I enjoy hearing about and seeing the mog.
