status? it ever drive? i have a meelion questions for the owner

it ran at dex a few times
had some issues with torque steer
also he did not get around to fitting coil overs so traction under acceleration was an issue
typically any such conversion pretty much demands coil overs...the cones just can't handle it

Back in the days, ah ice-cream man in San Juan had one of those 3 wheel thingy. Can't remember his name.

The other day I meet a Guyanese fella in Laparkan and he showed me some pics of his Unimog in 3-4 ft of mud. That's the only thing that will take them into the jungle when they going find gold.

there were at least 5 of these amongst the various County Councils (pre Regional Corps), the Fire Service had 2, one at it's Headquarters on Wrightson Road brought in around the time of the salt water plant comissioned to fight fires in POS and another at the Piarco Int Airport
