A C303

OK, so Pinzies are popular, Unimogs are slow, what's one to do? Well, ever hear of a 'Valp'?

The word 'Valp' is Swedish for 'puppy', and it's the nickname of a military vehicle that is much like a Pinzgauer. An updated, civilianized version, fairly bigger than a Valp, is the C303.

The C303 has a 125hp, 6 cyl gas engine, so it really moves. It's wider than a Pinz, and very capable off-road.

The only downside to it, from a US-centric point of view, is that it is not yet legal to import them into the US. I'm looking forward to the day that they are, though!
