That volvo is the ugliest MV I have ever seen. Where can I buy one? My Volvo station wagon would like the company.

Impressive Manny. Love the Volvos. I think one would look good here in my yard.

Manny,

Very nice collection. I have the same problem that you do, everything big and green that I see I want to take home with me. I don't know if the neighbors hate me or are just afraid of me these day's.

Re: European Invasion

Well my Pinzgauer has ben up to 96kmh or up to 56mph on my gps, and thats not necessarily going down hill either slight upgrade I can hold it or accelerate, most of the 4x4's can do inexcess of 70mph and a few custom built 6x6's can do 70mph or better too.

my 712M can do 70mph! on flat fwy/hwy but I really like to just keep her around 55 or 60 most of time.

Manny,

Love the Volvos! I was lucky enough to drive Sean Molloy's quite a bit at Northwest Mogfest. He has the open cab one like yours. If I were to purchase another European vehicle, it would definitely be the Volvo over a Pinzgauer or Unimog.

RE: European Invasion

Hey, do not forget: The WWII vehicles of the US Army were made for a maximun size of 6'. I am 6'6" and learnd how to use the American WWII stuff. For the Mogs you just have to know how to get inside. Than it is possible. The Pinzis and even the little Haflinger fits for my size!
The M715 of the late 60's was also made for short leg people. So I had to rise the steering coulumn on the dash for about 4". So it works for only 26 years, the time I own and run the truck.

RE: European Invasion

honestly as far as basic engineering goes my old Unimog 404 is FAR superior in attention to detail and design than my Gama Goat or any US military vehicle ive ever been in. Im as patriotic as anyone else but from what i have seen the european vehicles are just better....... sorry......

I am so impressed i may sell my Gama Goat to buy another Unimog or a Pinzgauer

RE: European Invasion

I like the camo job on the Land Rover, wonder how that would look on an M10?. Those first two will never be lost in the woods with those paint jobs. Very nice vehicles and glad to see that the U.S. was represented.

RE: European Invasion

We saw one of the trucks like Manny's first pic the last time we went to Stoddard. What is it, besides a Volvo.

RE: European Invasion

Volvo 1111 aka Tank Killer ..... i think

 

[roger-wilco-66]

Can it be that these Volvos are a little top-heavy? I've never seen as many vehicles resting on their side as these on offroad-happenings.

 

[Wolf.Dose]

You simply can do it with any kind of vehicle, if you find the proper slope or curve at inpropper speed, or other way round, with the proper speed to tilt it! Besonders auf Schmittchens Spielwiese (Sorry, there in the States, that sentence is for the guy in Karlsruhe). The Volvo's are not that bad!
