meet for photo shoot for German car magazine.
« on: May 23, 2013, 09:30:59 pm »
Hello Fellow Unimog owners and fans!

As some of you may be aware, we have been approached by Michael of Chilterngreen magazine, who would like to come over to the UK for an article about Unimog owners and fans here.

This is a great opportunity for us all to meet up away from the internet and see each others vehicles :) Not only that, but this is also a great opportunity for the club, and will help spread word about us.

Obviously wherever we host the event will be far away for people, but only 2 years ago we drove down to Gaganau in Germany in the black u900 406 120, so hopefully that will encourage you to make the journey  ;D

I'm thinking of doing it on a weekend, and camping out with a bbq and everything.
So basically, when would be a good date for everyone to attend, there is no rush, but some time this year would be great  :P

cheers, Brian

I'd like to be part of this, but a journey in a 30mph vehicle needs to be within reasonable range.
I may have to find out what weight towing vehicle is needed to legally move my 411 around the country for a more reasonable alternative to driving to the event in the mog.

As you two know each other and I assume are fairly local, wouldn't it make financial sense to tow one mog with another and split the costs? You've also got the added bonus that if one breaks you can tow it with the other (sorry, there's the landy owner in me showing it's ugly face again!).

I'd be very interested in going to the meet - don't suppose I'd have a mog to bring though.

I would love to meet up - The Photo sounds great but sharing ideas and stories would be an even greater benefit.

As I have young children any weekend would do where I can camp but if I had to choose July & August are always brilliant!

....and if we ever want to plan a drive to gaganau I would be sooooo in!!!...

sounds like a good turn out so far :) so it looks like next year at the mo, with warby not available this year.
I was actually thinking about a field near me as i know the farmer, but if anyone else knows of a farmer who like to lend us a field we can try that  :)

Dont worry, no mogs required if you dont have one :P

Im thinking of doing an organized drive to Gaganau for 70 or 75 years celebration  ;D 8)

We can put that on the list mate, we've got 2 or 3 locations in mind up here at the mo, still looking for more. would people be willing to pay for camping, say if we went to a camp site near an off road course?  :)

Iv got a mate who lives just past kirby stephen if thats any good? he's got plenty of fields to choose from as well and he wouldn't be bothered about camping and that.

theirs plenty of mog owners around that area, but the only thing is its getting further and further north, and also further east, and so far (correct me if im wrong please) we haven't got anybody from that area of the country going. its an option anyway :) and certainly if more people from that area say they are going it will be put on the list of possible definite's, as its the only site so far we have in that area :P
