Here, they (The Mercedes Unimogs) are mostly used by military as a
transport mainly, but also for too many other purposes (from field
ambulance to airport fire engine), but our highway repair department
also have quite much of them, mostly used to open roads (in the exact
configuration as modeled in 8848) that covered with snow. They have also
quite other configurations, one of which is very similar to small town
set "6667 Pothole Patcher". This tough truck always been my dream
vehicle, though I never saw any non-military/non-state-owned versions
around, not that I can afford it if any civilian versions would have
been available..:-)
