Just needs camo colours to finish it off

The iveco 4x4 is often used as an overland camper, and here's one in cammo (for some reason?) -

...but then if your veg supplies are sufficient, think how your kids would like one of these -



I think they do about 8mpg, so those couple of jerry cans in the racks would get you to the shops and back!

I could sell you a '93 Land Cruiser with only 100k on the clock, no rust and all the toys including a full length roof rack.

Well, if you're going down that route, you might as well go bigger!

You need to keep it practical though.

Someone on the russian trucks forum has one of these -







...which is cool 'n that, but not a whole load of use, unless you want to start chucking ballistic missiles about.  Or have gotten so sick of talk of mpg, that you want to change it around (gpm)


I like my vehicles to be practical.  Says the man with the ex-mod landrover camper that you cant even stand up inside : /

That to me looks the ideal vehicle for a multitude of things. Not that I can afford one anyway, but I don't think there are many in this country. There were five on AliBaba a while back, £20,000 for the five.
Meant to say they were in Saudi Arabia.

Maybe you should get a camo Delica (no, I haven't painted mine, though after seeing this I did consider it!)

[greasemonkey]

No cammo for me. No likey. Black, or pastel colours.
I know exactly what colour I want my Moggy. A nice blue pastel colour. Saw one in Street Machine when I was  kid.....

Joining the ranks of fed up with cars now, collecting the symptoms together I reckon my 806 has decided it doesn't need to wear a cambelt, among other things.

This missus thinks we should get this



I take that as a creative license to buy something odd

There was a company selling off ex-mod stock in the late 90s who always ran an ad in the landrover mags.  They had a whole selection of obscure kit.

Im sure the one im thinking of was called a "haggard mpv" (but it cant have been because the god google has nothing under that!)

It looked like the vehical above, but had an additional powered trailer / troop carrier  - only small, fully tracked.

IIRC it may have even been amphibious, but that sounds a little too hard to believe.

[julianf]

Found it - but i still dont know what it is -



You could put the kids in the back, and you and the mrs up front! ; )

[Julian]

I've always known those as "snow cats".

[julianf]

The one above is the one i was thinking of, but i may have also been remembering aspects of this one -



which is fully amphibious.

Theyre nowhere near as cool as the soviet kit though.
