I'm also on the love it train here. I found it awesome and very enjoyable. Props to the owner.

man, i wish i had access to eastern europe!
seems like these beasts are everywhere!
looks like the guy stalled out in the water doesn't have the $200 engine main seal and/or factory snorkle 
van is just floating, catching full air while other--possibly more competent--4x4s are just bouncing along.
love my van
