Trucks around the world – Mexico part 1

By VanTastik posted Apr 8th 2010 at 12:52 PM

Hi Guys, just came back from a business trip to Mexico.

The pick-up seems to be the first choice for road transportation over there, but I saw a lot of Sprinter and Freightliners as well.

What really surprised me was the old UNIMOG. Man I love that!

Take a look!

Atomic Bus – the future drive system

By henry posted Feb 27th 2010 at 1:49 PM

As many here seem to be interested in the drive system of the future, I just remembered this one: the atomic bus – taken from the paramount movie in 1976 “The big bus” (a spoof of most disaster movies). It is a nuclear powered, double-decker, articulated bus with 32 wheels.

By the way, the socalled “Cyclops” was not really run on nuclear power :-) , but by a huge Ford diesel. Well, at least that was the future they promised us ;)

Anybody interested in details? Here is an article about building the big bus.
