4X4 MBZ - one person's variation on a theme
MBZ 4X4: a few years ahead of it's time - or the new Unimog? Saw this on the 91 near Yorba Linda, CA.
 Sorry photos - but the car crusided pretty good - and it's a diesel!

I was lucky enough to fly in a P51 and hear the roar of the Merlin engine. An unforgettable experience.

Nice looking driveway, Jeff. Every man's dream -- to own a whole collection of rear-engine air-cooled cars.

Thom, I'll never understand why you didn't just _start_ with a coupe. Removing the top, then fabricating one out of carbon fiber -- while impressive -- seems like the long way to get there.
Not that I'm not envious. What's she weigh now, anyway?
