Can't be very big cars. Not a lot of space in the bed and you'll need a crane (or do you plan on lifting the cars up using brute strength?).

Not a problem 😎

the Unimog will just look at the car and say "Get in the fucking back... now" and the car will do the rest... :lol:

I've never been in a Unimog newer than the 70s but they were miserable to ride in for any distance, they do tow well though. My grandad would pull a 20 foot trailer loaded with vintage farm equipment with his.

I’m a big fan of 80’s pick ups. Would love a short bed chevy c10 but they’re starting to get silly expensive.

Ah, the custom mid engined pickup, made so that it could fly fairly flat and balanced IIRC?

Spotted a cheap Altea Freetrack near me, tempted to go for a look and see what part-ex deal would do for our Audi.

I'll just return to this and say - if anyone skipped past and didn't watch the video, have a word with yourself. Go back and watch it. I promise it's worth it. Truck jumps from way before CGI, when it was all done for real. You will wince so hard at some of the landings. Those poor trucks. FG though.

"What's the plot this week?"
"We'll get Lee Majors to jump over something"
"Cool, then what?"
"Then?"

I fucking loved that show as a kid. I always though the pick up truck was way cooler than KITT/street hawk/airwolf/BA's van.

It had a lot to answer for when I was playing about with rc trucks/cars.

Linked from the vid above;




Imagine Dave!'s version with a Unimog :o


NGRhodes; considers a 4wd then watches a Fall Guy compilation, what could go wrong?

Very tempted by this, the less loved 2.5 prices haven’t gone silly yet.

The hardly common diesel or the even lesser spotted petrol one with the Golf GTI engine in?

£7k seems fairly silly, but I guess everything is now.
