As we want to keep the "Inspiration" threads clear of chatter, I thought it might be pertinent to have discussion threads for them. Well, that and I so needed to drool over this beast Tinker'd found:  I mean how mad is that!! And I've a tractor or two laying around that could suit such a conversion!! Anyone know what make of car this is:  To me it looks like an XA or XB Falcon coupe, but I'm only going on this due to it's shape and the fact the show was made in Australia. The bit that throws me also, is the twin lights (I assume they're lights) on the front bumper. |

1973 ford landau with a custom bumper?

The sun went down and the ground started sort of grinding. A blinding light tore across the sky. A cyclone swept the landscape and left it completely flattened out. And several twirls of smoke unfolded like gigantic flowers. The way the morning broke was quite unusual. | |

I think Ironblood is dead on, and has hit the nail on the head about the custom bumper. The tractor is definitely a fantastic build possibility. In these parts of the world folks would tell you to just make sure the tractor is green... John Deere. Edited by Tinker, Mar 30 2009, 11:21 AM.

I love that tractor - I want one!  Yeah that car is a Landau (I spent a wee amount of time over on the Mad Max forums). Its a hansome motor (first time I have seen one un mad maxed). I take it this is a customed one? On the mad max 2 car I love the double wheels and little guards over them at the rear.

I won't put this vehicle in the sticky thread because it's more of a personal like. The motorcycles posted are great for PA and I love motorcycles, but because I'm a mutant of a sort in my size 6'-5" 360 pounds. So, for me to be on one of those bikes, well the would look like a Moped. The American motorcycle builder Jesse James program the "Monster Garage" challenged builders to a task. The result a Peterbilt Trike! Now, that is a ride for me, and one that could fit into a PA environment with some modifications... link is to YouTube for the closing six minutes of the show... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-7QNvIxQTs&feature=related Edited by Tinker, Mar 30 2009, 08:41 PM.

I have seen similar sized trikes before - I always wanted to chop a car up! lol! A mate of mine used to run a Rover 4l V8 trike. That was a beasty! I will see if I can find the 2lt VW camper powered rat/survival bikes some nut in Norway builds - they would suit your stature. Besides they are awesome and built from junk. Real PA machines. |

New cars Ben? Fickle youth  That looks mad Dexter! Anyone know where the truck Schro brought up is from? It looks like the trailer is the Mad Max 2 one, but the cabin is just odd. |

Some cool vehicles on here so far. I love that truck. I would say that that APC is a sci-fid up LAV. Not sure though. I could be ex-russian. |
