That's the same way they transport the F35. Just pull out the P&W F135's and pop in some Continental O-300's, then tow it on the back of a lorry.

Liquid Communism posted:Ever seen how they transport monster trucks? Most of them don't need the crane, I think - that's literally the monster-est of monster trucks. The rest of them have tires that are "only" about 6' tall. It looks like a Micro Machine on the tiny little normal tires.

Ah, found it:  Gomi Day posted:i will never not love chopped and / or slammed saturns. I think I've seen that one before. One of the few modified Saturns that gets a pass.

The Oka was designed as a replacement for tiny "cycle-cars" in the USSR, themselves designed to provide mobility for Soviet veterans with missing limbs. There are other, more serious, uses for the Oka: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7uFaiY2eag

Haha it’s just basically a mix of concrete and paint on the trim panels. I wanted to break up the plastic with something tactile and “real” and came up with this. Really breaks up the flat black monotony and looks far better than shiny silver and whatever it usually is I think. I originally did it with concrete vinyl but it didn’t have the credibility I wanted.

Looks like that super textured poo poo you can get out of a Rustoleum spray can. That's a nice touch.

How much flex is there in the body and dash? Seems like it could crack if you hit a kerb too hard.

Pls don't reveal my Mongol rally ride before it's time! Definitely want one of those. First when I saw a motocompo I made a little EV bike that fits I a trunk of a Miata but really wanted a kart kind of like this. It's definitely more of a project because I couldt find anything off the shelf to recycle.

1970 Vauxhall SRV concept. Sadly it never actually ran but the concept had active aero in the front (you can see in one of the other pictures the bit where it says Vauxhall is essentially a wing), electronically adjustable suspension and was able to spread fuel from the multiple tanks to even the weight out. It also had suicide doors for the rear passengers. All the instrumentation was adjustable, the seats were not. The wheels are sick, the giant gauge cluster on the door is not.     *edit: and awesome in a completely different way https://twitter.com/Saka_CITYR/status/1316359246645092354?s=20 *edit 2: I've just been made aware of this site: http://www.mulsannescorner.com it's basically a racecar database and I clicked on a few things at random and some of them have quite detailed backstories on how they became what they are. The Nissan P35 story is pretty drat cool, the car never raced officially but in the end they were looking at over 10,000lbs of downforce at 200mph for 1663lbs of drag which is.......... a lot. It's a geocities-rear end-lookin' site but if you're in any way a race car nerd you'll probably find something cool to read.

Oh yeah, I've followed Mulsanne's Corner for a good while. It's an amazing resource for some very obscure closed course racing information. Everyone should do a deep dive into it! Fun fact about the Nissan Group C race cars is that the engine design was the basis for the current engines in McLaren road cars. (The V8, not the V12 as was to be in the P35...)
