THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

He's a great guy and will be a welcome addition to the Pinzgauer community in San Diego I am sure.

"ITAD" (Improvised traction assistance devices). It was just too slick through some water we happened upon so we needed to "enhance" the surface and we used those tires and some branches.

That's the guy. You can add, "envied Pinzgauer owner" now!

I spent the day with the new owner of my 712M showing him around the truck, answering questions and almost getting it stuck. Talk about a great team building exercise...getting a vehicle stuck that you just sold to a guy who flew in for the day just to learn all about it! :oops: http://i.imgur.com/t...

Somehow I missed this one or it just came and went as I skimmed the forum.

I think what Vince (and Andre) assembled is precisely what I'd like to find for myself. Do the 2 door model and the 4 door versions have the same model designation?

I seldom reviewed the comments as they seemed to all take on this tone. Lots of experts with little or no actual hands on experience with the subject vehicles. As I said in response to one of the more cheeky comments, as we say here in Texas, "all hat, no cattle". If you have an opinion, i...

and the oddballs who inhabit it too!

That is actually the image I shared with my wife and kids last night and everyone liked the looks of it. (me too :wink: ). Of course now the challenge is to find one that has been well tended to (like my 712) and isn't beat to $hit. I am just now starting this process so I don't need to find this t...

I've passes his details along to the fellow in SD. Thanks!

My guy is planning to line up an enclosed transporter...so clearly he wants to do this right and not cut corners.

Any thoughts on vendors for that grade of services folks?

You guys love me now but where were you when that #@&$(& was working me over on BAT.com!

I won't consider one of those if I can't take it off road for fear of bending or scratching something. I live in a part of town where there are plenty of the foo foos and it's a real head scratcher to me as to why anyone would pay in excess of $100,000 for a truck that has its origins in military se...

With the 712 now sold, I'm thinking about a G-Wagen. If you squint just a little, it is part of the Pinzgauer family and has a lot of the same robust military service attributes. I know a number of folks who own several of them. Not the foo foo new $100K models but the older former military type uni...

That Haflinger fire truck is neat...I guess it's for fighting small fires?

It looks like a Hot Wheels car! Probably same size too!
