Fat truck

Post by ChickenPinz »

Saw that at EI in Vallejo last week. Talking to Scott in the warehouse, he said it technically can be driven like a boat, but it's....well....slow.

When I was there, they commented that their Pinz business has been fairly constantly declining, whereas their G-Wagon business has been increasing. It wouldn't surprise me if in a few years Willy will be the only US game in town for Pinz parts.
