No I haven't, My previous vehicle's were a 1983 Toyota with shocks so stiff I swear they were just metal tubes welded in place, and a '91 Tracker with larger than life tires, top speed of 80km/h (on flat grade), but, I do have a 1951 Chevrolet COE, its about the same hight as a unimog (2 steps to get into the cab) Straight axle front end, 235 inline 6, max speed 35mph (and thats haulin a$$), it was an old airport fuel truck, blast to drive, and mine and my wifes motorhome is a 1957 Chev Milktruck, converted to a motorhome, straight axle, '73 suburban underneath (except the straight axle), it will do 80mph, not exactly the quietest thing to drive, so I've never driven a 'mog, but I'm sure I'd love it! (I'd love to put the body of the milktruck on a 'mog chassis, but I assume that would detract from the flexible frame quality of the unimog would it not?)

Heres a link to my COE Its no mog, and I know its rough, but it runs and drives, it has vacuume assist brakes, not sure if thats like a unimog or not...

Edit:

Found some pics of my motorhome, again, not a mog, but neat, the giant propane tank is no longer on the back either, its been replaced with a cargo box.
