The MAN 6x6 is gone. I can't remember who acquired it. EVR?

@Kev,are you thinking Man T4? As raced by Will Higman

I was thinking that. My answer for Eddie was for the wrong question.

Does RG have new stuff for DAKAR 2014 or ?

Freightliner support rig wise? No, there was a third unit that has not been used for DAKAR (to the best of my knowledge) it was used on the West Coast for SCORE and BiTD support
Racer wise, all new
this is the west coast unit I believe

Thanks Mike, I've never gotten a really good look at the support rigs, geez! they're badass! I had a pretty good idea that outback they were pretty awesome but 5 air ride seats (Killer seats at that) and a fully caged cab, that's unreal. Hope the new one, ones? are as nice or more so.

I was in Anaheim last week and noticed a black Man Dakar support vehicle just off the main interstate near the stadium. It was all black with past Dakar numbers, I think I saw it last December there as well. I think it was at a body shop...... It looks like that one in the picture

The Mann that Higman rolled is still sitting at RG's shop in Anaheim. You can see the top part that was damaged from the street. Can't wait to see what he is rolling out to take on the Mini's and the Buggly!
