You could probably do worse than the MaxiMog - which the maker claims is not actually just a vehicle, but rather the MaxiMog™ Expedition System!

"Dear, can you deploy the MaxiMog™ BMW 1150 Off-Road Motorcycle, while I land the MaxiMog™ U.A.V. (Unmanned Air Vehicle)"

(Be sure to check out the 28-page list of specifications... )

Yes, but... why?

If I need that kind of mobility, I probably need to be quiet. So I'm going to go on foot.

Is it just the photo, or does it look like it's wheelbase is a tad narrow for it's height?

Also, it doesn't mention anything about dealing with heavy dust or ash. Does that mean that you would still have to stop and clean the air filter every two minutes while you're trying to leave the vicinity of a volcano eruption?

But it DOES look like it would be a nice RC toy! <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I cannot see if I need that thing for everyday moving around, BUT

I can recall a 4x4 thing made by Mercedes called "Unimog", with some 5 gears forward and reverse, huge diesel engine, very lightweight and high over the ground body.....
There was no task it coudn't handle or a too steep sand dunel it couldn't climb or too deep mud to get stuck.

yum yum

www.majorsurplusnsurvival.com periodically sells a few Unimogs and a similar Volvo.

It is a rebuilt Unimog- they look funny, but all the weight is within a foot of the tops of the wheels. On this thing, might even be lower. As a result, you really, really have to work at flipping one unless you do something silly like take a turn over 40 miles an hour. :P They aren't really for the interstate/autobahn, but there used to a lot of footage of them doing things like climbing 40 degree inclines on the web.

Okay I changed my mind. I'll take a Rolls... certainly you don't need both of them. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
