Being a big fan of the Mercedes G wagen and having owned a few I miss tinkering with my spanners every now and then .
I found a ex-Norwegian Army fully winterised 240GD for sale at a Mercedes dealer half way up Norway
.
Deal done , money changed and train to Gatwick then a flight to Oslo ,
On the flight in ,,look at the camping posabilitys.
Then on a local bus up north to collect the G that was at a Mercedes dealership that had it as a part exchange and wanted rid.
What a place it also services 300 Norwegian Army G wagons a year ,
These two were Ex-Afganistan Gs that are now spares vehicles ,
Also a 290GD fully armoured ,
All my paperwork done I had two days to cross Scandinavian to get to my ferry to the UK .
Sleeping in the vehicle saved a lot of cash,
Next morning onto the ferry from Larvik in Norway to Hirtshal in Danmark .
Megga nice sunny day ,
Hot dogs cooked on the wing ,,yum
A drive though Danmark was like driving though north Germany loads of farm land that got me to Esbjerg for another night in the G ,
But it was on the coast
All mod cons fitted , clock and map reading light ,
Brew time again ,
Some odd statues for company
Fantastic beach
The Danes like all Sandinavians seem to love the outdoors ,
Next day off to the ferry port ,
More brews on the wing ,
The poor beasty ended up as deck cargo covered in salt spray
So now its home ..yarr
Loads of jobs to do , get rid of that black paint for one get it UK tested then plan some road trips next year .
Iceland , Norkapp, Russia who knows ,,,yarrr
