Another MAN 8x8
Met the owner several times during my travels in Africa.
Very nice guy. Told me that his truck has over 1000HP (!) and had to put a tank transmission in to handle the torque! Has a lift gate in the back that gives access to a very nice shop.
Here is a video of it (not mine!)

And here is a pic I took at the start of the Dakar rally in 1997:
That thing is freakin' cool!

Hi there,
we totally rebuild it and go for off-road rally with it.
See @ http://www.aquadeck8x8rallyteam.nl/video/video6.html - this was in Poland.
Or check : http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...=MAN+8x8+rally
And we have 1100HP now....

Hi Lowell,
We have no living space inside.... just a simple workshop, tools & tyres, etc..
Although, sometimes I sleep in it. We have about 700 liter warm water with us (heat exchange with exhaust).
It heats up the interior a few degrees. And that makes it quit comfortable on chilly nights!
Check the photo's @ http://www.aquadeck8x8rallyteam.nl (sorry, only in Dutch)
