I love the high speed shots. Watch the diesel smoke when he gets on it. I think its a Mercedes diesel. I know its a unimog but I dont know which motor.

Music kinda sounds like a mixture of Night Rider theme and rocky theme. Ive been watching it over and over while I rave by myself.

Well, it ain't a Unimog- it's a Kamaz, Russian race truck.
They dominate the Dakar rally.
(Even though they had to install speed limiters to "cripple" them to only 200 km/hr)

They build their own engines.

My JEEP in high school could do all those things, the theory behind this driving is do not let off the accelerator pedal NO MATTER WHAT! Yes I destroyed the JEEP but I did make the crowed happy at least for a few minutes, Of course when my dad saw it later that was a different story.

"What does the crowed say"? MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that was the high school moto

I think UPS should get some of them so they can jump stuff on the way to your house. who needs a road just jump it. I dont think I would be willing to ride in a big box truck on roids I would have to pass on that

I always thought it was amazing the first year they ran semi's up Pike's Peak. That Kenworth T-2000 sleeper, leaning way over int he turns ( no guard rails mind you), and beltching black smoke the whole way up the hill

SICK!! A four-wheel-drift at speed with the throttle on the floor?! That was awesome!! And the whoop-dees? I can't imagine not having brain damage after taking a beating like that- you could be rolled up in a haystack of bubble wrap in the back of that thing and still be peeing blood for a week.
