Whoa, check out this Euro

[Troike]

I was hoping the other cars around it would leave (the whole freaking parking lot is open!) but decided to snap some shots in case it disappears.

I have no idea what this thing is, there's no markings on it at all. It has no plates, only a long-expired, faded temporary registration tag in the back. The instrument panels appear to be in Swedish though. Whatever it is, its awesome!

bonus air-cooled action too ;)

isn't it a MOG?

like the one Clandestine (Ed) has/had

[bugzy]

ya, looks like the Thing that Ed had.

Vortexers seemed to think it was a Volvo ...

If by 'mog' you meant Unimog, I can tell you it definately is NOT a Benzo. Too small.

[Fritz]

im gonna look it up......... Ok. Took me longer than I thought. It's a Volvo Laplander. I'm trying to get a good pic of one.

no one ever agreed if it was a 'TGB 911', a 'TGB 903 Laplander' or a 'C303' laplander, but damn these things are cool!

I'd love to tell people I drive a volvo, then pull up in that :D

A UNIMOG (variations include FUNMOG) for comparison:

Now I really wish I drove this thing! Snow is up to my knees now, and supposed to get up to 30 inches!

The Volvo moved at first, but I found it across from my apartments .. probably just showing off that he can drive in the snow :rolleyes:
