I was about to post in the other thread but I think this one has a more appropriate title (Just need to throw in "One Owner" in the title and it will be perfect )

A few things to note from the photos-It's a 300GD (Yay! ) and I think it's at least a post 1985 model but it's hard to tell.

Very inspiring story from a nice soft spoken and well mannered gentleman. I just with there was a bit more back-story.

Hey, at least you'd be able to find it easily in the mall parking lot. Maybe you could even get a "Hello Kitty" vanity plate for it . . .

Not to mention that you'd NEVER have to worry that it might get stollen or jacked!

Annoy a Liberal, Read the Constitution

For those of you who have ridden or driven a G-Wagen....

That would be a long 800,000 km.

I have rode shotgun in a diesel G (they are geared ridiculously low).. and to get to 800,000 kms on it - WOOOOOOOOOOOW - superhuman or the patience of a saint+monk combined.

living in south africa the only 2 brands of off road vehicles you saw actually doing something were both boxes, one was a Gelandewagen and the other was a LR Defender.

The toyota, nissan, isuzu offroad trucks used to drive on the ruts left by the above two.

I found an interview with Gunther from a few years ago in Curacao that should shed a bit of light on how he gets around!

GUNTHER HOLTORF-BIAHANDO RONT MUNDU - YouTube

(English portion starts at 1:08....I guess it just makes sense that he would know how to speak a few languages....)
