Don't forget the FUNMOG. It is a special version of the UNIMOG, available here in
Germany at the friendly Mercedes dealer.
Costs around 450k D-Marks, which is at the moment around 210k US-$.
Comes with black metallic paint, many chrome plated parts, leather seats,
CD-player and many other nice features. Go to your friendly Mercedes dealer and
ask for a sales brochure of the FUNMOG. (Make sure you wear fine desginer clothes
when you ask, otherwise the dealer will ignore you).
Best regardas from Germany, home of the Universal Motorgeraete (better known as
UNIMOGs)
