callison Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 This is not a production model guys, but give it your best shot. I don't know any specifics other than who made the engine. Link to comment
mike wilson Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Looks like some BMW-powered PHASAR derivative ambulance/emergency response vehicle. Link to comment

Guest Nogbad Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 A police Urinal, sorry Ural? 85112[/snapback] I go with the Urinal engine for sure. Is it one of those Gurney Alligator things? Link to comment

Even with a Ural (they have come on in great steps in the last decade, mind) you will get through traffic and urban areas quicker than with a 3ton box on wheels. There are a few based on PanEuropeans around here. mike Link to comment

The caption was probably translated incorrectly, I would think that you're more on the mark. I can see it now. A Ural with the lights flashing, slipping through stalled traffic, over the curb and down the sidewalk. An IV bottle suspended above the sidecar. And a nurse. Can't forget that (as long as she's a looker) riding pillion. "It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a, uh, whatinthehell? A Ural hack ambulance?" FWIW, my 2005 Ural Patrol with 800 km on it has only had one thing go wrong and that's with a brake line bracket. Mind you, it runs ratty as hell, but it doesn't seem to break or lose parts. It would seem the quality is up quite a bit. Link to comment
DeBenGuzzi Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 does someone get a point here. bob or mike? twasn't clear me me upon further inspection. (take that grammar police) Link to comment
callison Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 What, you want a point for a Ural??? Points for Urals are uh, pointless. Same value system as "Who's Line Is It Anyway?". You each get a point. But they're pointless... Link to comment

Isn't that what the quizzes are all about, or am I AGAIN missing something [he said, through gritted teeth]? I need this point, Ben; don't deny me the point. [stifled sob] Link to comment
