No more superturbo videos? Most links are sadly dead

We had a day out yesterday, driving through the North of Guadalajara. Not too difficult because Freyer had a problem with the vacuum system of his 463 and he lacked the diff locks. It was very slippery and fun, nonetheless. Pic here: http://picasaweb.google.com/mortinson3/Sacedoncillo http://lh3.ggp...

We were there yesterday... gorgeous, amazing, gobsmacking!.... We crossed La Quesera without a problem (there wasn't too much snow) but after having lunch in Riaza, Segovia we went back to Wadi-al-Hajara (وادي الحجارة) and drove like 70 miles of beautiful snowy tracks... we ended up on a hill near C...

AMG Dave kirjoitti:YIKES!

Well, yes, it pains me to see my pride and joy in such a predicament, but at the end of the day, I pride myself in using my Geländewagen for what it was designed for and the results are no more than battlescars borne with pride!

sundiz kirjoitti:You really had a little bit of luck with you. Do you have a roll cage in your car?

Really nice pics.

No.

My G es strictly standard. Only the tyres have been replaced for some with a more off-road biased thread.

Cheers!

We went for an offroad day yesterday which for me it was very close to end up badly. Fortunately nobody was hurt. The only people in my G were my friend Pedro (the guy with the blue jumper in the pic) and myself. No matter how carefully you drive offroad, there is always a degree of risk of being in...

Sorry, wrong thread!

I love old iron guys and I love sharing it!

This is the first time I have been to it but from now on it will be a must in my agenda. All the pictures are at the following link [/color] http://picasaweb.google....

Forced_Induction kirjoitti:Does your G300 have 314hp or 538lb./ft of torque?

Obviously not.

And I don't need them.

If someone whats to drive fast a E55K is a much better proposition, IMO

Growing tired of having my GWagen pictures scattered all over the internet, I have now gathered all of them in one place. At the moment they amount to 50 albums and 2,281 pictures, throughout 10 years of trips and meetings as well as the visits to both the Graz and Salonica factories. There are also...

What for? Modern Mercedes diesels are nothing but a pile of rubbish....

I love my G300D though!

Last Sunday I was in Brussels on occasion of the Belgian Classic Car National Meeting celebrated under the shade of the mighty Atomium in Brussels. Needless to say that I had the time of my life and I did a sizeable number of pictures in just two hours that I spent there. Though I think that the cut...

Visit to the Graz factory Well, today I spent what looked like half of my life uploading the pictures I did in Graz during my visit with the British contingent early this week. These are the factory pictures: http://gwoa.co.uk/index.php?name=coppermine&file=thumbnails&album=147&page=4&am...

The last three pictures of the series relate to the Matallana hill climb that we always do late in the day when returning home because it gives direct access to the Madrid province. Thus, we don't have proper video footage due to lack of light. However, and just for you guys to assess the dificulty ...

Another day out in Segovia and Guadalajara. This time we had very cold and wet weather, extremely exciting for off-roading but dangerous too! Plenty of sleet, snow, rain and mud and breathtaking views... Not many pictures this time but some very good: http://foro.g-aventura.com/album_cat.php?cat_id=...

See pictures here and enjoy!

Another day out! There was snowfall yesterday again in the mountains near Madrid so we had another day out today! Pity that there wasn't as much snow as we expected but whatever we had was frozen and that made our day all the more exciting! See the pictures here: http://foro.g-aventura.com/album_cat...

Last friday I enjoyed one of the most memorable off-road days of my life. It had everything: loads of snow, mud, river crossings, wonderful views and good company. Just two G-Wagens attempted and succeeded in crossing the Collado de la Quesera, between the provinces of Guadalajara and Segovia in Cen...

It's not that uncommon that we have snow in Spain's central plateau in winter, because it's altitude: we are over 1,000 metres over sea level. We take our Gs to drive on heavy snow a few times every year. In these links you'll find some pictures of some other snowy events: http://foro.g-aventura.com...

This was the night before yesterday... I had some Brits visiting in their way to Morocco and we could not wait for the day after because they had to pick family up in Granada. I hope the Admin doesn't mind the link. I don't want to re-upload the pics. http://www.gwoa.co.uk/index.php?name=Forums&...

My apologies for the delay but i would like you to show you guys the pictures of the 1st Treffen of the Club Mercedes G España which managed to gather 86 Gs plus a much larger number of enthusiasts in Segurilla, Toledo, Spain on the weekend of 21st and 22nd April 2007. You can find the pictures here...
