it's so dang surprising that utterly unexpectedly, from out of no where, not only do I learn of something that's been around for 6 decades, but it had a Unimog I can post about! Thank you M Currie!

 Camphill Village Copake, an intentional community founded to create a life of engagement and dignity with people with special needs, celebrated its 60th anniversary in September 2021. We are the oldest and largest Camphill community in the United States, and we are one of more than 100 Camphillcommunities—called the Camphill Movement—that exist around the globe.

I've never heard of the Camphill Movement, that's really hard to pull off when I've been reading books, magazines, websites, watched tv, movies, and documentaries... and Camphill communities has never come up. Until I asked M Currie why he was transporting 3000 pounds of salt on a VW Single Cab pickup! 

That's incredible!

Arnold Schwarzeneggers car collection









Schwarzenegger is no poser when it comes to military vehicles or military life for that matter. He was required to serve at least a year in the Austrian military and opted to be a tank driver. He said his Patton is ““exactly the very tank that I drove in the Austrian Army when I was 18 years old.”

but it's embarrassing to remember that in the 80s and 90s, a lot of Hollywood celebs did commercials that would never be seen in the USA, and he did his share of stupid schlocky cup o noodles commercials, but even worse are the energy drinks... he must have been out of his mind

1966 Unimog flatbed tow truck... with an innovative tilt rear wheel assembly that is brilliant





 sorta makes you wonder why this didn't become more common as a design... it would be very useful in a small scale for wheelchairs, motorcycles, boats, jet-skis etc




 the above is the rear wheel hubcap
I don't remember ever seeing anything like this before! Proves to me that there are still cool vehicles to see, but they aren't coming to many shows, and I have to keep going to shows I haven't been to in order to find them

this rig is owned by Gerhard Schnuerer in Huntington Beach
