I just wonder if anybody knows anything more about the truck? (6x6 opustene.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 6x6 opustene.jpg (42KB - 1 downloads) | ||

That picture was taken about 2 months ago but the car was photographed driving in Washington D.C. about a month ago. | ||

Braingears Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: St Petersburg, FL Vehicle(s): G320 & ML320 Posts: 1450 | RE: G63 6x6 in NYC I was talking to the local Tampa dealership. He was telling me about a 6x6 G-Wagon here in the area. They also told me that the owner broke one of the portal axles. Mercedes (International) refuses to fix it because it was exported from Italy. Apparently there is some signed agreement that does not allow them to export from certain countries. Mercedes will be happy to service it once it's returned to Italy. | ||

Can anybody confirm this? | ||
