Right, there was a show on belgian television, called Peking express. 6 couples hitch-hike from Moskou to Peking. Along the road they could race with Ural-trucks! Now THATS what i call a 4x4! Grin

Nice to see there are some people around who share my idea about those ridiculous vehicles!

Those Ural trucks are 6x6, have a 11 litre V8, and are the ideal base for offroad campervans. One problem... they eat diesel fuel like it's water. 1:3 for the latest variant, 1:1 or worse for the older engine model.

Sunflower oil can only be sold for food purposes here...

Aren't there fuel stations that sell sunflower oil for car use in germany? I've heard something about that

Working electrics? I'll have you know that the rear right hand light works and so do the dashboard lights! Grin

Needless to say, I don't drive it in the dark...
