Re: Pinzgauer vs UAZ

Ive had 3 Hafs in my time 2 short tin fronts and a long fibre cab .I like them but very slow on road , great off road ,dont like the sewing machine engine noise. Mate of mine still has one good for trips up the fells. Allways fancied a Pinz but again way out of my price range. :(
