That's the mobile host server for MBShop. Makes it hard to trace the site when the server is rolling all over town!

Had to look this one up but....




Its a O404 model Mercedes Bus (So its badged correctly) The ones we are looking at are Tour/Sleeper buses. I'm guessing that they are all used by the same company considering that the Euro-plates are similar. I'll keep looking to see if I can find out which company it is.

Here we go, I didn't find the US company but I did find a German company that offers world tours with these busses and more importantly, some pictures to answer the question of "WTF is in the back end?"

In Europe, there are so many odd vehicles with the 3 pointed star that you never see here, it's hard to fathom where they make them all.

Yeah, how awesome would it be to have an Actros. Even if you didn't have anything to haul



I think this article also more or less sums things up quite nicely

What is the difference between that and this: (a US military truck...)



Those look wayyyy to much alike (and I only get to drive the latter)

Wow I could so write that truck off for busines! It could pull the 300PC! Oh I'm printing that out, maybe I can get my uncle to get it for 2009's tax write off!

That thing looks like a tri level midget bus!

Edit: Its only rated for 21k pounds! That's pointless.
