    How odd! Looks like a standard Unimog with a disconnect mounted on the flatbed. Any sign of the occupants?
    Prepare for the worst. Hope for the best. Live somewhere inbetween.

    Yep, He was a from Belgium and is touring Scotland for a few months. He was apologising to me for "Camping" at the car park as he had come over the Ben lawers road and the No Camping sign is set so people coming in to the glen on the Fortingall road..lol

    The only info I got was, It has 100l tank, aprox 400km range. It has a diesel cooker with a ceramic hob and he built it himself. And It is a Unimog, but he did say if he was to do it all again he would use a different chassis. And it had a solar panel on the cab roof.

    I love the way that Unimogs come in so many shapes and sizes! That one is a very cool number.

    Unimog are also responsible for a rather fetching tractor, I believe... have a look here

    Where's the battle turret on it? It looks like a tank is parked on the back of it. It would look good in matte black or camouflage.
