Unimog!

I just went for a spin in this 1976 Mercedes Unimog! (UNIversal-MOtor-Gerät). They're designed for agricultural and military use, and used extensively all across Europe. This one's a 6-speed, 6 cylinder diesel with PTO's on the front and back, a trailer hitch (for big trailers), and it's a convertible. Oh, it has a snorkel too. Those crazy Germans. Apparently they make all kinds of attachments; backhoes, cranes, plows, saws, whatev.

If anyone has $13k burning a hole in their pocket, this would be the place to spend it. The owner's name is Jon. I can give you his phone number.

Ok, George, you know that Steve would want one! Not good.... I bet it was fun, though. Kim
