I couldn't decide where to put this. I saw this 7 series loaded up with wood out the windows driving home from work yesterday. Sorry for the lovely picture, but I couldn't help but laugh.

I totally forgot. When I was picking up the Niva, as in standing next to the trailer doing something an elderly man in his car drove past slowly with pipes or conduits sticking out the side window. Braver man than I. Those stupid brain-damaged lovely idiotic Melbourne streets are barely capable of fitting a car through without liberal use of K-Y. Gigantor the car trailer was far worse still. Some dipshit bitch saw me coming as she was weaving her way along and stopped in front of me, waiting for me to maybe phase into another universe or something so she could get through. In the end she reversed accompanied by much swearing and hand flailing on her part.

No doubt that the tracks are pretty sick. But they do look a bit sketchy. However the truck is probably used to drive back and forth to a camp. Most definitely the winter beater of beaters in that area.

I just wanted to add there is nothing wrong with the angles on that first tracked vehicle. It's just an optical illusion because the A frame uprights are sort of crescent shaped I assume for offset reasons. They seem legit to me, just a lot simpler than the ones on the van. And add me to the group of if metal tracks were available I've always wanted a set.  It'd be a beast in the bush I reckon. Terrible stuff. This popped up while I was GISing the first image. It was on gumtree a few months back. Apparently on drive.com.au as well because that's where I copied the image from. I think it was a prop for a movie.

(I like the fact that they apparently have a Terminator movie prop of the model that used the ATV version of their tracks.) quote:Terrible stuff. This is not terrible. If it's actually metal, that's some brilliant forming. Putting some appropriate wheels on it would help a lot. I love it in a retro-futuristic way, and I desperately want to believe that the driver compartment roof can lower to a sliver of a window, or close completely for protection.

Darchangel posted:Oh, and Kastein?: All I get is a coming soon page when I follow that link. That being said, my truck uses standard 10 lug Budd wheels (or rather, can) so if they have anything to fit a fullsize bus or regular semi truck, I can use it most likely. IIRC they cost enough that I'd have to sell my house to buy a set.

Yeah, more the picture of a (future) military vehicle was what I was going for. The link on the front page to that page was "Defense," so one assumes, they have or are aiming for military stuff. edit: that thing in the picture has a very interesting drive system and steering.

All the other stupidness aside, I could never figure out why that one sat so damned high in the rear. I mean, it's got coil-overs. Adjust those suckers down. The real Pro Mods you're trying to imitate sit drat near on the ground. I don't know why that one aspect bugs me so much, given everything that's wrong with that Celica.

Turbo Herkimer from the Mystery Men sequel I can only watch in my mind.   Typical truck from a typical job site. I'd seen it a few times, but and it took me forever to notice the pipes in front of the rear wheels. Boomerjinks fucked around with this message at 16:06 on Apr 25, 2013 |

For a movie that was so thoroughly panned when it came out and lost so much money at the box office (cost $65m, made back $33m), it's amazing how whenever someone posts a picture of an unpainted vaguely van-shaped vehicle there will be a comment referencing Herkimer Battle Jitneys.

Movie cars can be cool even if the movie is terrible. Most of the 70's stuff like Vanishing Point or the original Gone in 60 Seconds aren't very good movies

GutBomb posted:good lord Why the hell would nyone actually spend money on such an abomination? Is there some genetic defect that makes people think it looks good? Also I'm predicting the next phase will be to narrow the track of a vehicle and have some small wheels for propulsion / steering, with a second set of totally perpendicular wheels sticking out the guards. Perhaps friction driven by the real wheels.
