Got a reply from the seller, he has sent me 51 large images and a full spec. If anyone would like a copy then send me a PM with your email and i will forward it to you.

The seller said he will be getting the web link with details up soon.

Im even more tempted to get a loan and buy it now! The sand mpg is not brilliant but hey, its a big truck! And big fun!

Sell house, buy truck

How many people have had a conversation with their partner which is based on the "sell house (worth X thousand pounds) buy this truck (for much less than X thousand pounds) " principle. Then you explain that the family get to live in a truck anywhere you choose in the whole wide world with the remaining cash from the house sale funding your future happy days.

Surely it's an absolute no brainer

It is im sure. Unfortunatly for me having spent so many years living the happy life i don't have a house to sell (i rent at the mo) and so can't do that. I don't regret it as i have had many years of fun exploring asia (but I do regret it a bit today as i can't sell my house to buy this mog!)

Tobais, if you PM me again with your email i can forward you the pic's - i can't PM you back as i have yet to make 8 posts.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
