i used to drive a unimog
« on: February 18, 2013, 08:58:47 pm »
I was working on a tree today and accidently covered next doors car on dust from the chipper. I court the neighbour and said sorry about the dust. He didnt mind much then turned and said 'i haven't seen a unimog for years'. Turns out he used to drive them in germany full of ammo  :o its funny where mog drivers turn up! :D

they usually turn up in housing estates! its amazing how many times weve bought parts and when we go to collect them theyre in the middle of a housing estate and they open there garage door and its full of mog bits!  :D they always have really good stories to tell about mogs as well  :)

 If I manage to get one it will most likely be full of ammo too. I recon they'd make a perfect mobile high seat to shoot from on flat ground! Is there such a thing as a gunner turret in the roof of a U900? I know some of the 1300L's have them...

Well the only u900 I know that has anything like a gun turret is my escape hatch :P

 I think we may have just found the new official name for these silly snow blower type cabs!  :P

Oh and pictures are good. A mog is a mog after all - no matter how ugly the cab is it beats anything I've ever owned!

Yeah there is another sexy snow blower on eBay at the mo. It's nearly 10k though and prob needs a decent amount of work doing to it.
