Unimog vs van
« on: March 01, 2013, 10:18:10 am »
This made me smile. Spotted it on an arb forum that I'm a member of. I sure as hell wouldn't have wanted to be that van driver when he finally turned his head to see what was coming!  :o

Apparently it bent his track rod...

Lucky he didn't go over the front of the van more. I think hitting another vehicle in my mog os the most scary thing about driving one. People don't realise mogs are fast and travel like a train when there at speed

I guess when they do hit they just climb up an average bonnet? It is a worrying thought.

Yeah a 406 would probably climb a car bonnet nicely and you can see how close that square cab is to climbing a van! I know one lad who nearly ramed a car. He wasnt paying attention on a traffic jam and set off but forgot about the little car hidden infront of the Chipper. Luckly the car set off b4 him

ive heard a couple of stories about people driving over people bonnets in mogs, ive even heard stories of people in 2450's driving over and not realising until they looked at it... although i think that might be exaggeration...

and yeah people are right wazzoks when it comes to pulling out on a mog, they look at it, think its a tractor and just pull out >:( either that or they go to pull out, hesitate, then decide to go for it anyway! need a good air horn on a mog... ;)

Do you recon you could get a U900 up on the bonnet of a small car without damaging it? The mog not the car, before you start calling me stupid!

yeeeah, weve lifted the back right wheel of the crew cab up 3 foot before any of the others started lifting before now, and thats not the best chassis for it either due to the cab mounting system.

That's interesting. Some numpty regularly parks with their bonnet blocking my driveway. Perhaps one day when I want to go out I'll not bother asking them to move. >:(

If only I'd get away with it hey. Would it really be legal to tow it? Perhaps if I could tow it onto my drive I could then drive over it as it's on my property?!
