Unimog fans look here...

okedoke thank you!

Try "MAN Kat.1 " or "MAN GL 5to", "MAN GL 7,5to" or

engine sounds to boot! Wish I could read German

ahhhhhhhhhh I wish I was thinking and dreaming in German again :-)

This one looks like the best site

ahhhh Yes, I think I bought one of those years ago, interesting line of work you have

I know I would. Though I preferred the previous Top Gear host, it was much more fun. :)

It goes at a max of 90 km/h.

But it's probably a bit like the tortoise and the hare. The tortoise just keeps going and wins the race. The MAN keeps going over any hindrances with its 4x4 even though it has only 320 PS.

Who was that?

I only became aware of Top Gear with JC in charge.

I preferred his previous team, though.

I thought I read in one of these NGs that Top Gear was coming to an end but when a new series was finally decided on the others were committed to other jobs.

"Dori A Schmetterling" haute in die Tasten:

Sorry, Dori, but I do not understand what you mean by "a Jeremy Clarkson-type job" (my french is even worse...)

He's asking if you would like your hair permed by a blind marmoset monkey that has recently become quadriplegic. Probably due to an accident involving caravans and lots of pyrotechnics.

Thanks cp for the tip (link). It's great and it's FREE!

Jeremy Clarkson is a British motoring journalist who drives all the fabulous cars, has a motoring column in the UK Sunday Times, presents BBC's Top Gear etc etc.

I thought you had heard of him, actually. Sorry for that assumption.

Yeh, though I heard it might be removed soon, I hope not!

keeps going and wins the race. The MAN keeps going

Though it has probably as much torque as a small locomotive, I wouldn't mind one, would just drive over all them dumb SUVs here :-)

Here's a good article on the show at wikipedia

Tiff Needell was my favorite, an actual race car driver, the talking was done during the driving, and what driving!

Gotta find re-runs of this.

This search did the trick man 8x8

Very interesting link/s. Never thought of Wikipedia in this context. Still, JC has been the front man for many years.

It spoiled one of my illusions... :-( ... as I always speculated that The Stig might be Tiff Needell, despite his commitments on other programmes.

Anyway, it is Willson and Needell that I liked more in the team with JC.

.. than the present team members, though they are beginning to grow on me. It's the way they interact with JC. QW and TN were more men in their own right, whereas Richard Hammond and James May are more 'lackeys' looking up to the great man.

Here is a current review as example:

One does need a strong sense of humour, Frank...
