I saw this the other day. It looks so much loving fun. It even had a cueball (with an actual cueball on it) shifter.

Took a picture of this on my way to look for a house. Full AWD 6x6 operation. Lockable differentials, Crawler ratio low range transfer case, and best of all, a Honda factory option snow track kit for the rear, with 90km/h capability with tracks fitted. "Honda ACTY Crawler"

Since the p38 range rover used the BMW M51 diesel lump* from the 3/5/725 TDS I guess this is actually not that out of the world, since they were already used to fitting BMW sixes into holes made for rv8's. *Also found in the Vauxhall/Opel Omega (which was the same as that caddy that zigged)

This guy was pretty slick, although those spoked wheels were enormous and running rubber band tires. Also, this was the first IMIEV I'd ever seen. NERD posted:ASK ME ABOUT DRIVING

Spotted this quite good Moggy Minor while I was out fighting crime and thought non-Brits would enjoy. It's the daily work vehicle for two friendly geezers and the bed is hydraulic. Sorry about the picture framing, I am poo poo at photography

At first I thought it was cute, but then it got in my head that it's somehow the offspring of an H2 statutory raping a Power Wheels, and now I just feel terrible. I don't know why you didn't think details were worth mentioning but if anyone didn't see the article, this is by Hennessey, makes 1,226hp and has a top speed of 242mph. Edit: vv well that's certainly true. By shady though I assume you're referring to him being a dick, or do we have reason to think those numbers are inflated? davebo fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Sep 7, 2012 |

Because Hennessey is a shady company. Cool picture tho. \/ Exactly why I failed to mention his name. Preoptopus fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Sep 7, 2012 |

So what your telling me is... Next time my head gaskets let go, because they are made of swiss cheeses, I could transplant a M60/M62 into my basket case of a rover?

That'd be a golf cart someone spent too much money on.

In Indiana you can have a golf cart legalized for street use.

Same with a lot of places. Some states have pretty lenient laws on what can be registered for road use. Yavapai County is something ridiculous like "Does it not catch fire, have lights, blinkers and a horn? Sweet. Here's your sticker".

The University that I work for has a number of golf carts and little mini Hummer things that go 25mph and can be driven on the roads. You have to be brave to take one out on a New Jersey road, though.
