I made myself watch that movie again last year while on an overnight work trip and jesus, it's like drinking Johnnie Red in a hotel bar - you know it's not a real movie, you don't particularly enjoy it, but dammit, you're stuck in a time wasting zone and you need something to choke down so you have closure at the other end.

Also, everyone in this thread has missed the best truck:

If this isn't awesome, i don't know what is; the Sprinter 6x6. Built by Oberainger, probably for the price of a small country.

Apparently they're built to "Fill the void in the 7-tonne van market." which is a void that doesn't exist, because Iveco built vans with a 7-tonne GVW, and they're 4x2s.
























They're amazing and i want one.

Also, Unimog 6x6! I want one of these too.







I think those two would go nicely with a Zetros 6x6.

Theoretically. I know there's still some issue with the G25/G27 apparently, but I can't test or verify because I just use a 360 controller :v:

Yeah, it is used to be a fun category, but it looks like some drivers take it too seriously these days. That race included one of the biggest dick moves I have seen in racing for a while
