When I’m a rich man I shall collect all my cars with this....
Dave!
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
Dave!
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'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
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.

Spotted a cheap Altea Freetrack near me, tempted to go for a look and see what part-ex deal would do for our Audi.
The hardly common diesel or the even lesser spotted petrol one with the Golf GTI engine in?
