G-Wagen again

Published on October 11, 2011 in Tonka. Closed

Years go by without ever seeing a G-Wagen in Ireland. I think I might have passed a place up the back of Parteen heading towards Meelick that had a few in various states parked outside their garage. Now all of a sudden I see two in as many weeks. What gives? This one was much nicer than the previous one I’d seen, it had a full leather interior, with front and rear seating, and was a manual. No clue what engine type (petrol/diesel), but it was very nice. I’d almost turn my back on Tonka for one…

Nicer offset on the alloys also.

No need for an expensive rooftent for Tonka for when we take it on expedition. Saved myself a fortune – the roofrack is the exact dimensions required by a 4′ 6″ double mattress. Cheap tarp from B&Q and some bamboo poles later and you’d have a very comfy sleeping area:

G-Wagen

Torn between my love of Tonka and for G-Wagen’s. They are so cool. This one’s for sale in Limerick at the moment, admittedly not an AMG version but still really nice none the less. It’s a petrol engined one though, with an auto box, so you’ll need to tow a petrol tanker behind you. Looks so much more civilised than Tonkas do, even wearing it’s Bundeswehr green colour scheme. Naff offset on the genuine alloys though.
