Mogger: a Brit who hunts cats, by any chance? ;-)

In most cases, you would probably be correct.

However, this is from the German, "Universal Motor Gerat", or "Unimog".

Mercedes Benz Unimogs.

I have 2, a U1300L and a U404 Funkwagen.

We go "Mogging" with them, thus are "Moggers".

Wow! Heavy duty! I tore up and fixed some offroad vehicles a few times and will always remember the thrill of long, narrow shelf roads at high elevations.

Interesting experience, backing down a shelf road for about 3 miles to let another vehicle through.
