The shots where all you can see is sky out the windshield made me feel weird, like I might fall over backwards in my chair! I also enjoyed the one where he put his hand out to keep the rig from tipping over. Cool!

I really like the c303, probably more than the Pinzgauer. It would be awesome to put a Westy style interior in one with a pop top.

I said before, I'd like to ride the Borneo Equator Expedition on my GasGas enduro while me wife drives the route in a camperized pop top Pinz or c303.

Very cool.

He wasn't exactly "Treading Lightly" knocking over the trees though! (Tree huggers here would have a field day with that!)

Every time I drive thru the mountain forest service roads I am astonished by the number of trees uprooted and lying down throughout the forest. Usually from the wind I guess. Often it's so thick with downed trees you can't walk from one spot to another. Mother nature doesn't tread lightly either and I'm thinking of organizing a 4x4 run to raise awareness to that fact. :D

evidently, C303's sell for the same price as a new sedan.
