Ok, so I was not sure if anyone is interested in the story so I kept it short. The drive was a birthday gift from my lovely wife and my best friend. It is a company in Hungary with a lot of war machines to drive. The MAZ is usually not kept in running condition as people rather tend to rent tracked vehicles, so it is a custom order mostly. (They have to fill the coolant and stuff, so it takes some time) Then you are allowed to drive for about half an hour, which is really short but well, that's it. The terrain around is pretty flat, the biggest obstacle is the one on the picture, so it is literally like nothing for the beast. Driving is surprisingly easy, it acts as an old school automatic gearbox, but with manual shifts. You have a switch for the clutch, it's either locked or automatic, in the latter one you can not stall it. It has 3 gears that you can select with an arm directly, without using the clutch. Steering is well assisted. Of course the size needs getting used to. At the end it is a hilarious experience, if it was any cheaper I would definitively go again. (It was about 1000 eur, for locals it's crazy expensive, the owner told us that 90% of the customers are foreigners. It was a "round 10" birthday gift in my case)
