First saw this rig (and met Randy Grubb) at the Portland Rod & custom show several years ago; it was the first time it was shown & it made a hell of an impression on me. At the time it was rockin' a 2 speed automatic out of a bus & Randy said he built it with the aim of selling it to Leno. Just a brilliant piece.
Damn, I would be scared as hell to see this thing in traffic, LOL. The only things missing are the tail and nose turrets, and maybe the belly turret, ha, ha...great piece of machinery.
talk about something that's idiotic, this is it. the front of it is so long that he couldn't even make a right hand turn without going in the opposite lane of traffic. come on Jay, can't think of anything better to do with your money? if you have to throw it away give some of it to me.
@starbuck680 whats sad is that he cant live is own damn life and do what he wishes with his money without people like you complaining about how se spends it. Its not idiotic, its a masterpiece of metal fabrication and engineering.
@Svittidiu. Waste on that peice of junk you say? Well any anyone can tell you except yourself that that takes a mechanical genius to make something like THAT even remotely be possible to run,but then actually making a car out of a tank car? This is not a peice of junk,but an engineering masterpeice.
engineering masterpiece ? Far from it.. he didnt have to design the transmission, the differential, the gearing, the engine. Its all from exsisting models. The problem comes when you try to put number plates on it. As the frame hasnt been crash tested and isnt from an exisisting model. So you cant call it a rebuild. Another thing is california emission laws. The law book is the problem here. Not the construction at all.
LAWL how in hell did they even accept this beast as a real street legal car? i mean u ever seen how much room it takes up? lol and the size of those huge wheels and that engine? GOD man that is one insanely pimped out beast that car is.
honestly, i know i'm going to get comments up the ass on this but did anyone see a license plate? if i can't fucking drive an ariel atom on the road then why the hell can he drive that shit. it's not that nice.
Yes it si legal to drive on the road, and yes rheir is a license plate, he had to install rear- and front axels with brakes from a greyhound bus before he could drive it legaly on the road. their has been a whole episode on Discovery Channel about the car...
Some people spend millions on a piece of human shit if laid by an artist!
Emperors new cloths, vulgar and silly, but to each their own.
If there wasnt enough fuel for everyone it would be a different matter, the rich would have the same allowances as the rest of us, so big cars would be obselete.
What is your age? do you know or understand anything about cars? My dream car! This is the true definiton of "brutal car" and all that car is to me. Big heavy nose, shapes that respect the golden era cars, rear wheel drive, no aircon, no doors, just you and big machine. No showing out just cruising...
it breaks loose in 1st, 2nd and 3rd from what Jay says in popular science mag. You can hear the turbos working even at the small throttle inputs. Banks rocks!!!
Oh God...even Jeremy couldn't POSSIBLY say anything bad about this car. But even then, I can just hear him: "this car is bloody horrid to drive, it takes up a quarter of the ajoining lane, and it only gets 80 miles on one tank."
