I do have pics but I'm not allowed to post any on this site yet.

Why is "Big Dan" playing the imposter?
 

So, Big Dan, how come you've bragged about "your" particular Australian Unimogs, as "BenzLover," on at least one other forum (Team-BHP - The Definitive Indian Car Community - Portal) -- when in fact you don't own them, and have probably never even been near them??

The photos that you posted there were pirated from the true owners of these particular Unimogs, and consequently they have been identified, because they are pretty well-known vehicles to those in the 'Mog community.

"Your" 1980 U1300L Unimog, that you claim you ".... purchased .... in Papua New Guinea 10 years ago, and over the years I've modified it with things I needed....." (the one with the Alaskan camper), is actually Bill Caid's Unimog that he built up himself, and drove to Alaska a year ago. (The photos of it that you posted are from California and Arizona most likely, and one photo even shows this Unimog parked next to Bill's latest, larger Mercedes camper).

"Your" 1963 blue Unimog 404 extended hardtop with the star on the door is actually for sale right now at Unimog Exchange in Port Orange, New Jersey.

Your" 404 Unimog is actually Kent Drummond's Unimog, and the photos of it were taken in Colorado and Wyoming.

I must assume that your "fleet" of vehicles in Vancouver BC and in Australia is, for the most part, a "fantasy" fleet, one that you possess only in your own mind. What gives?

Are you that desperate to impress others? The game's up.

well ok , then here is one of my rides , however im currently having trouble with the fluxcapacitor , i hope to have this issue resolved soon so i can get back to good ole 1985. its just hard to keep it under 88 mph , its just so damn fast. i cant wait to tell all my friends about this internet thing. wowsers!
