Couldn't resist when I saw this. Of course it takes a team of 12 to raise the top & doesn't come with a ladder. The gas-milage leaves a bit to be desired @ 16 liters to the mile but the tires last a long time for around town driving. Great gun platform for shooting wild v-ass's.

AWESOME :) LOVE IT :) MERRY CHRISTMAS:)
Brilliant! I have a mate who owns 3 wartime jeeps and little sense of humour...he'll hate this which makes it even more awesome for me LOL ;)
Lucas, what would be the base for this fantastic vehicle or is it a ground up build ???
Or are we talking "Photoshop" here? LOL
So what kind of muscle drives those wheels? Hope you have power steering! What is the dia. of them?...:-)
Hems, a friend sent me some pics of strange cars & when I saw this one, my 2 brain cells immediately saw the obvious use for it. And inky, the size is XXXXL.
inky, I throw this bait out in front of you and all you want to know is if it has power steering & what dia. the tyres are? Are you well? Do you remember what provocation is? Hope you get better soon.
I am surprised that you have any wild v-asses left in your neck of the woods... and those puny wheels.. I could change myself... also! not going for it.. I would need a hard hat and that! would mess my hair up!...;-)
Wouldn't want to mess up your hair for anything.Also wild v-asses haven't been put on the endangered species list yet. Guess you considered the jeep as a mere dingy for your truck?
I'm assuming (hoping) this machine actually operates somehow with a hidden cockpit or something. Can you give a story about it?
Bikenstein, refer to #5. I have no idea or can I answer questions about the machine. Just teasing inky with it. I would hate to try to steer it with that giant steering wheel! Not even sure I could do that while standing on the seat!
Busted... ha! ha!...:-)))
Ans I thought I was smart! :) Guess I should read all the posts first. I looked it up and saw how they constructed it on the spot.
Bikenstein, are you just going to drop it at that? How did you look it up? I'm curious. Is it just plywood or what? What's the site? I was thinking it would be great for drive-bys as you have the high-ground but the wheel base is too wide for our roads here. (We have a lot of eligible targets here after 11:PM). Inky just seems to be ignoring all that fender, running board & hood space for placing v-asses on.
Gotcha! It is reported as a running vehicle. It pays to be smart cause then ya know stuff. :)

Nice one Bikenstein!! That Sheikh chap must have a mite more cash and time on his hands than the average Joe has for sure!!
Yeah he has the cash but I don't think he enjoyed the satisfaction of doin a personal build. Must be very nice
Hey, If I had that much money, believe I could suffer without the "personal build" because all those young girls would be taking up all my time. But, yes, I know what you mean & the feeling.
Inky, my girlfriend says she has to spend the holidays with her husband & kids, but I hope your holidays are bright etc..
Haven't had a" New Rear" for months, but looking for one.
Merry Christmas to you inky and everybody else on CW who thinks they deserve one. Prettige Kerstdagen en Gelukkig Nieuwjaar in dutch. And the dutch wonder why people aren't lining up to learn dutch. Leave a spoon in the blended when you turn it on & we have people who can translate that noise.
First sentence may seem out of place for # 19 as I was asked to delete the previous post. Just ignore it & enjoy the holidays.
:-) good one Blunder ! How did I miss this ??Oh I was in the Netherlands or Neverland learning Dutch "Prettige Kerstdagen en Gelukkig Nieuwjaar. Je hebt een gave om mensen aan het lachen te makenl"
Maniken, I don't try, it just comes out naturally. Caught a wild v-ass in the yard today but an iguana got it before I could load a blunderbuss. At least it didn't have time to do any damage.
Hello Blunder, nice posts and comments. Een gelukkig nieuwjaar voor jou !!
Is Dutch really such a noisy language?
I think the sheikh was trying to make girls take up all his time too. He wasn't too succesfull with that and needed something drastic. Maybe a supersized Willy would help.
What does v-ass mean?
Dutch isn't really noisy, just sounds to me like cards on a bicycle wheel with a lot of missing spokes.
The v-ass thing is just a running joke I started because of all the vases posted.
Thanks. You're right we need more guns and such.
I agree completely. That joke has covered a lot of posts. I've joked about them making good targets except you can't get a 3 shot grouping. Why get something you can only shoot once, etc. You're just now catching up Bazel---?
