Hunting Wagon

Post by MeccaOz » 18 Sep 2014, 11:02 pm

This monster expedition vehicle is the brainchild of two wealthy Mongolian business buddies who are both hunters. They wanted an expedition vehicle that was tough enough to conquer Mongolia’s terrain, and luxurious enough to feel like a mobile penthouse. This was what Mercedes-Benz came up with for them.

Hi Mec,
Think I'll place an order for two of em.
One for me,,,,,, and one for my partner, ( just so she can watch her channels )

I saw a similar vehicle (2nd hand) that was for sale here in Australia about 5 years ago.
It was approx. half the size of your Merc, and had everything that opened and shut.
The only prob I could pick with it was it had absolutely atrocious fuel usage.
Cant remember what breed it was now tho.
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.

I've decided I wont be buying one.
Only because there is no access from the cab to the accom.... and when I find myself hunting in the tundra I prefer to not have to drop out of the cab onto the snow and ice to get into the warm internals.
Thats the only reason. :D

This is awesome, on a slightly different tack I took a 4 wheel drive 5? tonne hino tipper truck into the bush after wood on Friday and it performed well. We go bush a lot and the old hilux with a canopy isn't cutting it as I am getting older. I want to be able to tow a boat or a few bikes so will be getting on and putting a basic hard back on it as an off road camper.

Sort of the poor mans version of the Mercededes above.............

I reckon.

I normally bag them as being an overpriced badge.

Might have to reevaluate :D
