[/quote] Prof my talents are far from yours. i see the pinz2 as impressive peace of equipement. I quess if i had your talent or know how i would see things differently. I guess if i had an 1/8 of your skills i could see what your talking about. but sadly i sit here with the rest of the public saying. I'm not worthy I'm Not worthy wayne's world wayne's world.

I thinking tomarrow night i might get one of my drunk buddies to run decoy :lol:just kidding

Gee's Eric, I'm honoured and embarassed!

....but to be honest, I'd LOVE to see the Pinzgauer II, in the "flesh" so to speak, too!

I was talking (via email) to a guy from AT earlier in 2007 and he said that a number of employees of the Company kept an eye on the Pinzgauer Forums and they had "noted" my dislike of the Pinzgauer II aesthetics!
I guess I'm a marked man!

If you do get to see the vehicle and "if" it has the body removed so only the motor chassis/drivetrain and mechanicals are showing give me a yell and I'II be on the next plane over to see it too! ..... Ahh, give me a yell if I can see the vehicle full stop, I can always close my eyes when the body is in view

Don't forget Haflinger Technik either. They are not a million miles from you (Lanark) and they also have several satisfied customers here.

I can heartily recommend Haflinger Technik at Lanark. Dale is a great guy who will go that extra mile to help you out. His knowledge of Pinz bits is second to none. 101% honest to boot !

No - I ain't on commision either !!!

Hey PsychoMan,

You folks on the Isle of Man must be VERY excited about Mark Cavendish's results thus far in the TdF?!!! A native son done good!

Aye - that is big news here. The IOM has a lot of sports - frankly cos there's not much else to do - so now and again we kick out a good 'un.

Oh - for those that don't know - the Isle of Man (IOM) is an island 30 miles long by 12 miles wide in the middle of the Irish Sea, midway between the UK and Ireland. It's the home of the TT and affectionately described as 80,000 alcoholics clinging to a rock!

I've got some Manx blood....My great-grandfather was one of those "alcoholics"

Gotta say that I've just got back from test driving a 710 and a 712... and I'm pretty impressed. Okay - they are twice the price of a good 101 Landy, but the engineering is great and they seem pretty agile for this sort of vehicle...

So... looks like a Pinz it is - though my missue and I have been discussing the merits of 4x4 and 6x6 for the last 4 hours travelling home LOL!!!

Another good thing about Pinzgauers is that they can be tax exempt, pre '73, serviced to death and without having done many miles!
