    We had an old 60s unimog we used for forestry. We had a shutdown in Devon one morning in the 90s and parked up near an isolated bungalow. This old guy comes flying out, shouting "Unimog! Unimog!". We got chatting and it turned out he was German and worked in the mercedes factory in the same year building that same model. He'd moved over in the 80s and retired. Weird coincidence, but it was great to see him so happy to see a mog.

    Never 80 mile/hour my dear scottyfairno. Just 80 kilometers/h or close to 50 miiles/hour. Unimogs are "metric" not imperial and if you go past the "50's" mark you overheat the engine, you mess with brakes, tires and all hell brakes loose. Not counting the fact that you are driving a agricultural tracktor truck, no neede for speed, Mogs take time, enjoy the ride🚜🚜🚜
