Very nice, Rod is likely already on the phone to get one before Clive.

Ooh, ooh, I think I've just wet myself :lol: Mind you $65,000 for an Argo with big wheels is asking a lot, don't think there'll be many sold over here. Double an Argo's carrying capacity at 1t and quite a bit more powerful, but at least 4 times the price :think: And, it's Russian engineering which can leave a bit to be desired at times :lol:
Like to see one up against a tracked Argo, reckon the Argo would win in swamp and clag or hill climbs.

I still want one though :thumbup:

You don't see many proper full cab argo's though, sommat i'd be wanting for tooling around the taiga in winter
Its probably $10k for the machine and $55k for the tires :D .....Being russian you could probably fix anything on it with a lump hammer, file, and mole grips

There's quite a few make cabs for Argos over the water, and heaters etc. We just don't have them here as not really needed. Anyway, I know a place that makes hoods :lol:

Probably right about the maintenance, big hammer, stillsons and moleys and job done. I'd love a go in one, reckon you could get some really good butt clenching moments in one of those :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'd like to see it do well really, some thought gone in to it, and probably lots and lots of hours.
