Hellfire Matt, can't you start searching sites that are less obscene, those are an affront to public decency. I'll have to view this site on an incognito window if this carries on.:shock: 
That could be my new user name, HellfireMatt has quite the ring to it, don't you think?

I've only just got over worrying about how the man who drives a snowplough gets to work in the morning so thank you for sparing me worrying about that one :wink:
You are quite welcome.

That's Tomi's car, he and his dad Ray have a varied selection of cars. This was one Ray built: 

The Metro has small trick details like rectangular frenching on the aerials.

Like something from mad max

I always found it odd that in a future world where fuel is scarce they're all driving big V8s. Lol

I can actually answer that! The early Mad max films were Australian of course. They are V8s because Australian masculine yobbo culture dictates that only a girl drives with less than 8 cylinders. Our premier Touring Car Championship was abolished because all the Sierras, Datsuns and 4 cylinder non turbo BMWs would beat the locally produced muscle cars. They would get booed by the yobs at Bathurst so they made sure only a V8 would win by banning all other cars but Ford and GM V8s and named it the V8 Supercar Championship! Mind you the V8 yobs at Bathurst continued to burn cars, overturn ambulances and piss while standing in the food queues to save time, so as it turned out booing the Datsuns when they won was probably preferable to their total takeover and vandalism spree at V8 only events. Anyways back to your question! Mad Max was described as the ultimate "Road Warrior" in the last of the V8 Interceptors. In Australian macho mindset he could never be considered "the hero" or "tough" or "a real man" or "warrior" unless he had a V8 mate. While I despise the local V8 culture with passion I can see how it could be perceived as more rugged compared to Angry Allen pavement protector of the people in his pretty Prius. Doesn't have the same ring to it.

I suppose it's as daft as in The Terminator where a 6'4" tall bodybuilder with a thick austrian accent was chosen to play an INFILTRATION UNIT. Cos that'll blend in with all those starving humans, no problem.

I was thinking of that size wheels and tyres for my Twincam. Just cant make up my mind between both of those designs. Wouldn't want to choose the one that was distasteful.
