And I think the music in the first video might be the most annoying song EVER made.
I thought the music fit the video. The OD fever knows no borders. I think this is Lithuania.Donuts, fun in any language.

Yeah Im guessing Tatra 805: tatra 805 - Google SearchI thought the Tatra (I think) van was interesting(especially when all the junk fell out the back). I'm curious as to what its original funtion was.
The Tatra seems to be pretty popular with these guys. Looks a lot like the old VW vans that would explain it being a German truck. Back when I was a kid we had one of the old VW vans.Yeah Im guessing Tatra 805: tatra 805 - Google Search
Tatra813 on here has one, he might be able to confirm and tell us about original purpose.
From german wikipedia I read it was originally intended as light pickup truck (1.5 to 2.5 tonnes, in kilos). From there also made as Kombiwagen (no clue), Tanker, Ambulance, Firetruck, and different other utility boxes. First date of construction is unknown, but seems to be before 1952.
Well the VW designs are based on Tatra. Take the tatra 97 (1937), and the beetle (193. Tatra already had the streamlined design and rear mounted engine for a long time.

I agree. It still looks like a lot of fun though.The vehicles are really neat.
I pitty the poor sap who has to wade throught the ice-water to hook up the tow strap.
Wouldnt know, but I know tatra has been around for ages. Here's a vid from 1920:Something about that Tatra makes me like it the more I see it. It appears to hold its own off road as well. Thanks for the information on the history. What year would the Tatra vans in the video be? After reading the wikipedia article, interesting that the Germans stole the design and have gotten most of the credit over the years.
