    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.

    1:18 That speedo says you were doing about 85 KM/H, not mile. The Mogs I've seen here are usually out of gears by 80-100kmh, 100kmh with a custom final drive swap.
