AAAHHHH my eyes. Need a cleanse
She got a for sale in the back window, but not exactly a great part of town to stop and ask in Yeah, she's not as good as she could be but hey make a clone out of her or stay stock would be a tough decision. Id probably go resto-mod and make her run without worries of authenticity |

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
A number of years ago at petite Mercedes had a display in the vendor village where you could get in the SUV with one of their drivers and it would go straight up. This metal contraption that you did not think it should be able to go up and then straight down. It was very intense. The whole point was to show the slope. These vehicles can Master but it was like one of the best roller coasters I've ever been on |

Yeah, Jeep used to love this things until Porsche brought one out, put 4 decent size dudes in a Cayenne and played all day on it with less noise and drama than Jeeps. Then went to the Rubicon trail and asked Jeeps why so hard

May be but but I got stuck once driving a Q7 on a sloping wet meadow in Scotland. All the electronic bazaar couldn't cope with the slope at low speed. Nothing like an old 4x4 with a differentiel lock! And if you drive a Cayenne off-road, you've better read the owners manual before.

We have had many pics of mighty trucks posted here, so I thought I would lower the tone with the wimpiest truck I have seen for a while. The photo makes it look larger than it was. (Clue, the pic is taken on a walkway).
I believe it was called a Giotti Gladiator. Hmmmm. To make up for the truck a nice Harley spotted just before. |

Loving the look of these transporters. The colour scheme is certainly something

We have only just allowed for dual trailers on some roads here. But there is one spot (that I know of) in the US that allows for a triple rig, and it is in north Indiana! |

If you are interested an article on Aussie roadtrains https://auto.howstuffworks.com/road-trains.htm Back to more everyday stuff, In the larger non roadtrain rigs the V8 Supercars transporters entering Darwin for the local round there always have a traditional truck convoy through town. Seems a good way to end the 4000klm journey most will have done from Melbourne to Darwin (some slightly closer from Brisbane Brisbane). They are all pretty impressive, and are all B Doubles. They obviously all do a bit of a stop to give the trucks a bit of a scrub and polish for the convoy Video here is of this years Dusk arrival in town is a good watch if you like big truck convoys and truck horns. 2024 Supercars Dusk 'B-Double' Transporter Convoy in Darwin https://youtu.be/7T3wZW0xKF4 |

There has always been something about a big old wagon I have always loved. Every time I replace my car always look at at least one wagon. Oh here is a video of the DE Jnr Nomad resto mentioned. Colour is not my choice but...... https://youtu.be/-Ccwy8zmhJI |
