Its a "MAN" truck, not a Mercedes.

My God! THAT'S a truck alright. It says it has a 17 liter engine. Surely that can't be right. Maybe it should read 7.1 ltr? It also says there's a 2000 gallon ter tank mounted on the chassis. That probably would be better used to carry fuel.

He walks out evey morning, looks at his truck, and says, "You da MAN!"

So, that's NOT a typo? It really IS a 17 liter engine?

Dee8go 01-23-2009 03:17 PM

So, will that V10 fit under the hood of an R107 without a scoop?

It even comes with a hydraulic wench. That's nice, although I prefer my wenches to be pneumatic.
