An incredible adventure I could only dream of, and one hell of a car. Mercedes can really build quality when they want to. Show the video to your wife, girlfriend, kids, everyone. This guy is my hero.

 

cool story, although his wife looks like robert plant

 

Impressive!

 

very cool, thanks for posting.

 

Cool story.

It reminded me of this guy,

who made an around the world trip in a modified slk.

 

Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing.

 

That's soo cool, just the chance to drive all those places.

 

damn...I wish I had the money and balls to travel for 23 years in places like NK? That mercedes is not cheap either so it figures they put their best shit into it. Betcha the regular merc. SUV won't work this well

 

The G Wag wasnt actually that expensive back then. Remember, back then, it was not the "luxury" version that it is today. It wasn't a "cheap" vehicle, but not nearly what the cost today. Back then, in that trim with a diesel it cost as much as any decent SUV, such as the Defender 90.

 

Awesome! I hate seeing those trucks with 22 "Blades" and rubber band tires
