Pinz Sighting in Iceland

Post by hrafn »

My wife and I just got back from two weeks in Iceland, visiting friends and
touring the north. We saw this Pinz in Reykjavík on the first day and again,
a week later at Námanfjall geothermal area just east of Lake Mývatn. This
time we were able to determine that the owner was two young Austrian men
in Iceland for a holiday.

They had removed the seats from the back and had it fixed up like a camper.

This truck had the nicest fuel can racks that I had ever seen. Anybody know
where to get them?

Also saw this truck in Reykjavík, just across the street from my friend´s
house.

ScottishPinz,

The guys said that they covered both back windows to keep out the cold since
the window channels were well worn (they were sleeping in the truck). It was
cool (0° C) and very windy during most of our visit.

The gerry can holder look like a "knock off" of those used on military TD Pinzes and G wagons (the holders have lockable hasps). I have one on the Pink Cow. It would be nicer if the holders were side loading, where the cans wouldn't need to be lift out so high.
