The Automotive (& other mechanized vehicles) thread

Just found out it is a photoshop.

[Chankgeez]

Oh, yeah, that other "Hemi", sorry.

Also, just another photo I found lookin' at vans on the internet.

Ah, I didn't know it was a photoshop. I just post what I find.

I'm diggin' all those chopped vans though.

I also found this. Which is clearly not a photoshop, but I wish were real (for obvious reasons).

[Iommic Pope]

Haha! All good man, I just fell in love and had really hoped someone had actually built a beast like that.
Chopped vans are the best.

[Chankgeez]

You might have to build that monster yourself because your

heart says "this where dreams live".

[Iommic Pope]

I just had a look at old bones vans to start with.
Prices on American made beasts are bullshit down here. Even for a scrapper to tear apart and build back up.
I did find this though:

I was actually impressed at that price point.
But what saddens me is that I know you wouldn't even spend half that to pick the same van up in the US.

Found this, too: http://www.justauto.com.au/justcars/car ... otonumber=

That hearse is great, you should get it!

You can be like The Mummies:

Nice.

A few years ago I nearly bought an old Holden hearse, not unlike this one:

only it was a dark blue and a slightly different model.
problem would have been running the bastard thing.
Fuel had just gone over $1 a litre then and we were outraged.
If only we'd have seen how high it would spike....

They just played a reunion show up in SF sometime during the summer I think. Wanted to go haha.

That thing could be awesome. Just needs to be matte black and to go all gasser on it...with the velocity stacks sticking out the hood.

Yea, we complain about $3.50 a gallon here, I couldn't believe the prices in the UK when I was there...and it was per litre...just insane.

[Iommic Pope]

YES.
Those are great ideas.

Yeah man, I thought it was cheap the other day when the E10 shit was $1.15.....after discount. Facepalms everywhere.

On the topic of vans and bus, as soon as I saw a vw micro bus, I was draw to it

[Chankgeez]

Funny, I almost posted this picture earlier:

As soon as I have a garage, this will be my first project car:

[Chankgeez]

Nice. Someone in my old neighborhood has a 240Z. Classic car.

[repoman]

Wanted one of these for so long.

I'd take a Rally version.
