MAN that's a massive rig...

[SAMI]

I hit up Smith's on 8th&9th to pick up some concert tickets and a Dt Coke.. I was suprised to see this behemuth beast of a rig in my neck of the woods. You don't see MAN's in the US too often.

 

[RockMonkey]

Too bad it had that ugly orange thing in front of it blocking the view, huh?

 

[SAMI]

Pfft.. I was showing it's size in relation to the 'orange thing'...

.. it's not ugly.. it's, different..

 

[OrvisKrawler]

can anyone translate what it says on the side??

 

[Corban_White]

Which part? This one says "truck under the stars" or something to that effect.

 

[TRNDRVR]

can anyone translate what it says on the side??

"You can't afford!!!"

Don't kid yourself. 55s are ugly. Really ugly. Thats why they're so badass. :greg:


That other thing looks almost exactly like the trucks we use at work. Only instead of a kitchen ours have a 20,000ft winch.

 

[SAMI]

^ Of course I agree. I still look at the 55 and wonder what the engineers/designers were thinking.. The lines of the vehicle are ridiculous.

I love my little pigs..

My Freightliner has an air locker in the rear axle... :greg: Just wish it was 4WD. :-\

Diet Coke..........? Are you kidding me.....

 

[SAMI]

I like dt coke

 

[Gravy]

^drinking diet coke won't make you less fat Jason^

:roll:

I followed that rig through Sardine canyon on Friday--my wife had to grab the wheel as I sat there and drooled

I've seen two others one was in Moab and the other was in Glacier Park a few years back. The one in the park dwarfed that one as it was riding on 53" Michelin's

:roll:

Ha, i really don't take notice of what wil/won't make me 'fat'.. I really just like it's taste.

I grew up on Mt Dew, then switched to Dr Pepper throughout HS & post HS until I met my wife's family.. They always had it around, so I started drinkin it.

I love those MAN trucks... A great platform on which to build.

You know I have seen them in that size for as little as $50,000.oo, so, I don't know, I figure a LOT of folks could have one if they wanted it. They are not any more than a typical motorhome.

Thanks for throwing that up here, great pictures...

 

[The Red Ryder]

I wonder if it's a grey import or just 'passin through' from Canada way...?

 

[1ATony]

looks like a great rig to build for the NASCAR races....LOL

 

[Ogre Palowakski]

You discovered these guys...

I haven't spend more than a few minutes checking out their website on my slow computer but it looks like it's a French family traveling the world.

I plan on doing the same thing one day when I'm rich

 

[BonZuki]

That is cool !!!

We found this rig that we just picked up with only 60,000 on the engine and trans runs great and gets around 12 miles to the gallon and can pull anything !

 

[kmboren]

How much did you buy it for anyways?
