Well, maybe not Dakar, but still fucking cool. Spotted this in the NE. Genny was goin and the dude was probably snoozin. Euro plates so hes probably makin his way around the globe. One of the rear spare tires was blown.

Haha, I drove by it twice and didnt notice. Then as I was driving by again I was like HOLY CRAP. I gotta take pics of this thing. Its the biggest one I seen. Most of the Unimogs I see have much shorter wheelbases.

cool spotting

[.norco.]

very sick

I think MAN is a UK truck manufactuerer. At least I vaguely recall the brand (maybe from that big rig episode of top gear?).

Its funny, I look at the winch and Im thinking to myself the winch limit is probably what the front half of the machine weighs. Like really, look at the size of that thing. You need the army tank recovery unit to get unstuck in a truck that size.

Wow super Badass!

I forgot to get a GOOD look at the plates for the symbol. But I think your right because it doesnt look like a UK registraton number.
