A while ago someone asked for pic's of the Black Beast. Sorry, can't recall who it was, but here (hopefully) are some I took today. Crud quality compared to most other pics on the site, but better than nothing I suppose.
First attempt at uploading pics so don't fall about laughing !
Taken outside house late this afternoon. Bright sun, low angle and VERY cold !!
Class, proper Off roading Beast.
Nice one for the pics, can see how good it is. surroundng terrain looks perfect for it as well
Great Pinz, didn't expect it to be black, you certainly live in an exposed area - looks like parts of Anglesey but for the surplus of trees.
Nothing wrong with piccies, look fine on the site.
woooo! get that bad boy to one of the meets!
AWesome looking machine
beastie indeed...fk all the chelsea tractors..do the school run in that beast...and youd have no problems!
Nice. I'll long remember my ride in it when we went to get the chicken feed.
How cool is that!!!
Specs?
It also pretty cool when your list of future mods could include a mounted machine gun
Dare we ask the mpg
If you want to see what these things will do, go to youtube & type "Pinzgauer". Even the 4 wheelers are amazing.
Thanks for your kind comments about the Black Beast/Flying Pig !
Consumption is about 15 or 16 mpg on the road. Off road - I try not to think about it !!
It's got their own (Steyr) air cooled engine, inclined 4 cyl. petrol, 2.5 litre, twin Solex carbs. (remember them ?) Just over 2 1/2 tons weight - hence the cronic mpg ! Having the aerodynamics of a brick doesn't help much either.
I've a couple of pics taken in the engine room which I might be able to post (if I can remember what my son taught me yesterday) but don't want this post to become B O R I N G !!! Vehicles like this are maybe only of interest to people who are desperate to get into debt, or are of feeble minds ! (I tick both boxes !!)
Pics of the engine room needed!!!
C'mon, get remembering
Yea.. Hear Hear...
We want engine room Pics. This is the "car" section of the site, takes a lot more to bore us
Some of us Geeks don't get bored by such things!! Bring on the pics!!!
Here's a couple of engine room pics. Haven't got round to cleaning it up yet (Job No. 384B).
How cools that
0-60 is what
Oh and sombody left a 19" wheel in the engine room.
How did you come about buying this.
60mph ?? Mmmm.. I've read about such speeds.
Bought it from a friend who is a Pinz dealer in Lanark. Previous Pinz (4x4) got written off. Pity because it was a rag top in great condition and looked the mutts nuts. With the payout I bought the bigger 6x6 version. Eco-terrorism rules !!
Prior to the first Pinz, I had a Steyr Haflinger (small version of the Pinz). I had it from new and it lasted THIRTY YEARS ! Now being restored for a second lease of life !
Steyr stuff is built like a brick outhouse and will last, with a bit of TLC.
Bloody Hell Fire Pinz!! That's one meaty piece of kit
That's what all the girls say !
