Totally cool, I am happy to hear that finally the red 4x4 sprinter will hit the roads, and if I ever pass it on the open roads or see it at some camp ground, I will smile because I had a chance to sit in it once, ..... and ponder the purchase.... so, so close....... AdamK

Every now and again, there is a bust on the new of some unknown Russian (or other) Mafia at a sea port in Montreal or New York, trying to export stolen SUV’s from N America to Russia or some other semi European contrary. Is there some way of contacting these boys to see if they can import...

Mike Thanks for the info on the “chicken tax”. Did some reading up on it from your link. Very interesting and protectionist piece of legislation. Its quite a modern method of building vehicles, …., and then taking them apart,……….., and then putting them back together. Very efficient and...

Motobueno, I am counting on you. I will be in Vagas mid February for about a week, are you anywhere close??

There is no question about, Salem Kroger operation, it is either closed for winter, out of business or way too busy to answer e-mails and or phones. I been trying to get a hold of them for some time, and no luck. I am with you, mhiscox, there is no way to get a 4x4 sprinter this side of...

A riddle to be solved .......... and I need help, Why is it, in NA we cannot buy this http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=52253&stc=1&d=1295660674 or this, http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=52254&stc=1&d=1295660674 But we...

Hey Tom, No apology necessary, I know that most of us here on are worked up, one way or another about the Sprinter situation . As you properly noted, I am, and I know it. And, thank god for understanding and tolerant wives in our life. It sounds like you are onto something big, and I am...

“snow in Budapest are very big” Sorry I did not know, how many centimeters do you get during winter? Here we measure the depth of snow in meters or feet, and its many. And my 4x4 Tacoma does just fine. “…. How crazy is that?” is just an expression, It’s meant to be a little sarcastic...

Hungry is nice and best, and the women are beautiful, “4x4 Sprinter available in every dealer” ….. how crazy is that? And it does not even snow in Budapest? We have bigger problems on this side of Atlantic, .. protectionist, bureaucratic import rules….

Now, there's a guy that knows what he likes, and the beauty is, .... he can go down to his local MB dealer and buy it,..........., a real 4x4 Sprinter available in Hungary????,....... imagine that anyone???????? Hope you get it soon, hope you post some pics, enjoy,

They maybe louder, who knows, ... maybe because the euro sprinters are not available in NA, maybe because you got one and i want one,... and I re-read your note 4 more times and I still don't see the answers to my questions. Here is another one; anything new in the Sprinter department at Detroit...

Motobueno Did the parts for your conversion come from Iglhaut-Allrad or Oberaigner? Can you tell us how much the 4x4 conversion cost you? I still say, that all this testing is just protectionist b.s. Any vehicle, designed and build by Germans for German roads, is safer and cleaner than most...

I am not 100% on this, but from various leads on the net, my knowledge is that SM and Salem were to do 4x4 conversions with parts from Germany (Oberaigner, the firm that supplies MB with 4x4 systems). From what I gathered SM and Salem did one conversion each in North A and MB cut off the supply...

Looks like you are of same mind on this, same web pages too. That is the layout I am thinking of, but with some modifications; take out toilet and shower (like to peeee behind a tree at 3 in the morning) move the fridge onto the side with cupboards above. Your described plan was already thought...

Scott, I may have to buy it, because there is nothing else available this side of the Atlantic that suits our camping style and purposes. I inquired with Lynn at SM and she was kind enough to send me some additional pics and as-build sketch of the vehicle. She tells me it’s an automatic...

Hi, I been looking at the Sprinter for a while. Interesting vehicle, so ideal for camping, etc, Did you say the clutch was smooth. Is this not only a 4x4 but also a 4x4 with a standard transmission in NA? WOW, Can you clarify the transmission? When is MB going to smarten up and bring these over...
