25 Comments I remember unfortunately not the reader it was who wrote about not Mercedes' original four-wheel drive vehicle was ViaRETRO substance. And yes, this is it - it is after all from 1979. And it is the surviving Mercedes ever. But do it the exciting?
Not in my eyes. And here I am colored by two things: the Mercedes G is too new for sober and unsightly - and it was and is in my view an appliance in line with a shovel. The latter comes from the fact that I had them fully engaged in life as they came out. My father was in the army, and was responsible for the all-wheel motor vehicles (as opposed to tracked vehicles, which was another department) in Oksbøllejren. As such, I grew up with matt green Hunting Trucks, Jeeps, expo line schedule VW buses ("bread" as they are called over there), Unimogs and stuff like that - and climbed legend around and in the end of life of its kind outside the camp, and has prompted many a drive in the training grounds expo line schedule on the heath in the healthy and mobile carriages.
I did a bit of romance in the old trotters - although I thought they were primitive vehicles expo line schedule all together, even as a boy. And then came the new G model. I must admit that I actually do not remember expo line schedule what my father thought of them - which may well because he did not seem anything special about them: Now, he is also cool professional in this context, and perhaps expo line schedule even subject to confidentiality, what I know - but I remember nothing sentimental on his part on G models. While there was a hint of sentimentality towards the good old Jeeps (it was Jeeps, real - that's what we called them all together, so urmodellerne) and probably also against hunting wagon, as VW's M181 was called in Danish. The predecessor of the latter could also very well be included in yesterday's post as one of the worst names ever, in my opinion - Kubelwagen. Hunting carriage, on the other hand, is completely opposite an excellent name.
You have, I have not climbed on: Army got Mercedes G sometime in the eighties, and they did not have to be decommissioned before I stopped playing in Oksbøllejren. This is as I remember them. Lots of them - green.
Well, back to the G-model, I just do not have a soft spot (...) face. Because it is a needed item? No, not only because later I have traveled many miles in Alfistas Land Rover Defender - in many ways similar use subject but its obvious weaknesses despite much easier to have feelings for than the German. A Landie simply charm - which is actually his case to such a mighty expo line schedule monstrosity expo line schedule with sharp edges. G model has neither equally sharp edges or even remotely the charm as the Briton has - it does not even have a nickname, damn. Other than a letter, perhaps it is even the grimmest imaginable - "G".
And today? expo line schedule Well, it's still in production. Without it has become finer. And I know that there are some mighty fast G models. But they are even uglier. Yes, the prettiest G'ere is as usual (for my taste, at least) the early without superfluous ornamentation or frills. And while it is early age, but this really old, I see them all just do not like. Also a little colored by the fact that I know several people expo line schedule are using them as daily workhorses, including the auto trailer tractors. They belong, expo line schedule however enough in the newer section - but it's hard to say. As far as I understand the owners are not particularly sentimental to their Gs.
Wood and leather in a G? Just as out of place as velvet. Dull green plastic mats, slippery seats, gun racks and camouflage, it's expo line schedule like I know them. Alloy wheels on a G? Adjacent to idiocy. Tuning? expo line schedule Unsinn! Lowering? Wahnsinn!
As can be seen leaving expo line schedule the
