Så denne snutten, Utrolig tøft at deg var en G-vogn. Kanskje ikke akkurat den billigste bilen å skaffe reservedeler til

Dobbel pris på deler, men dobbelt så langt skifteintervall = samme kostnad over tid, og mindre bannskap [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

Det står relativt mye om han fyren her på nettet, samt youtube-videoer og vimeo: http://vimeo.com/11322207

"The vehicle is nearly completely stock standard, with the only major modifications being a pair of 60l “belly tanks” that, together with the 100-litre main fuel tank, give a range of around 1,500km, heavy duty springs and shock absorbers to cope with the all-up weight of over three tonnes."

"The list of must-have items stowed away on the G-Wagen include around 400 spare parts that weigh around 350kg. "

"The rest of the weight comprises everything the Holtorfs need to sleep, cook, eat, drink and even shower in or around the car. "

Dusj i bilen! Dette er en mod dere ikke har tenkt på [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

“The G-Wagen is old but, mechanically, it is simple, and totally reliable,” Holtorf relates. “From my experience in the aviation industry, I’ve learnt preventive maintenance, meaning I replace wear-and-tear parts according to a schedule rather than wait for them to fail. Over the years, it has hardly given us any problems.”

"My wife and I would normally drive around several places for, maybe, six months, then we park the vehicle and fly home to Germany.
Then, a few months later, we return to the car and continue the journey."

Okay, a slip of the tounge. Men han har vel tilbrakt mer tid i sin G enn de fleste [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] Kona er forresten død. Døde av kreft eller noe sånt.

"Back in 1989, as the Berlin Wall fell, Gunther Holtorf and his wife Christine set out on what was meant to be an 18-month tour of Africa in their Mercedes Benz G Wagen. Now, with more than 800,000km (500,000 miles) on the clock, Gunther is still going. "
