Looks like an Armored Tatra 813. That's my first
guess. Looks kind cool too. Between that, the
Force Protection Couger and Buffalo, one starts
to think of that Jan Michael Vincent/George P
movie Damnation Alley. What was it, the
Landmaster? Hmm, I wonder if that's the root of
my MV hobby.

Nigel, you're more up on those Euro Trucks.
Doesn't look like an Uparmored MAN 8x8 2nd Gen
(Ain't no intake on the front of the MANs). Is it
a Tatra?
