Wow, with that thing, who needs a tank? :)

With the headights mounted so high up, is there another set to illuminate the area right in front of the vehicle?

They way I figure, my head is about level with the front bumper. I am 5-10.

I'd love to drive this to those Anti-suv protests...

Yup, 8. I'm just gonna have to have 8 wheels on the ground. I don't care what kind of mileage it gets, as long as it's MPG and not GPM.

Well the mileage isn't too far off a 5 ton gasser, and the oil consumption sounds like stretch's cj2a at haspin.














Now I gotta find someone that wants to go "halvsies" for one. (I wish I knew how to spell words that don't exist)

Actually, just run through the left navigation bar on this site for some nice pics on what running around in the Czech Republic. The site's name just means "old trucks".

If anybody needs parts of an east-European truck, let me know. It's getting a bloody expensive hobby over here as well, but maybe I can help.

The 537 always had a special place in my heart, but it's even more outrageous than the Tatra 813.

It will be hard to get titled because its too wide, it only seats 4 people, you need a trailer to actually move something (and I dont think a regular trailer is high enough), and spare parts will be a total bitch to find.... Dont even get me started on the gas mileage, Im still getting used to 4.5mpg.

Who am I kidding, I still want one :mrgreen:
