| No, not yet but i am still looking and have many feelers out.
As for the Urals, not a very good truck as they are pretty unreliable and its the engine which gives problems, anything else can be sorted. |

| I went past the Mercedes garage this morning in Swindon and they have 2x Huge brand new AMG Unimog's out the front. There was no ££££££ on them but its got the be hundreds of thousands. The looked sweet mate, this image I pulled from the net here but it looks sweet. Absolute no use to you i expect. If i was not in a rush I would have pulled up and had a good snoop around!

| I think they look sweet. They are meant to be quite rapid for a Mog, and the incab dials and switches are soooo cool.

Not in the slightest, in fact I once pulled a mate's Land Rover Lightweight out of the mud with a Nissan Micra hire car! No shame at all, he was in a muddy rutted section and I was able to pull alongside him on concrete which with a 'little bit of speed' gave me enough oomph* to drag him clear as the twang* gave him enough momentum to gain forward motion. * oomph and twang ... well know technical terms. BTW, before posting this I cut & pasted the entire text into a Word document to check the spelling (as I often do), and the only words that had a red line underneath denoting incorrect spelling were Rangie and Micra - not oomph and twang. Still think the new Mog is ugly, doesn't detract from it's immense capabilities though. |

| Mogs - great trucks but like all the big boys - if they get stuck who gets you out
and the other problem fuel economy - or lack of it............ _________________ Rich

| With a 30 tonne hydraulic winch you get yourself out. |

Can't argue with that! As long as there is something to strap the cable to. I don't think a ground anchor will take it. |

You beat me too it...... we were worried when travelling with a mog 1300 that if it got stuck it was gonna stay there in libya. so on a couple of dunes we sand matted it up _________________ Rich

| If we worked on the basis of something getting stuck we would go nowhere, and virtually every vehicle would get stuck before a correctly driven Mog would even begin to lose its cool. |

| An onboard Hiab crane would help too, that way you could lift yourself up to stick mats or rocks under the wheels. See it done with a 6x6 Foden as it happens. Yes it took a while, but when all options have been explored ... |
