Say hi to Samui International Hospital for me!!!
I left a fair bit of the skin on my arm smeared over the road to Chaeweng...... Blooming motorbikes.... Oh well, teach me not to be a silly f@cker and ride them too fast over blind corners at the top of hills (after a storm so loads of sand all over the road) without a crash helmet after too many rum, coke + red bulls
Schoolboy error!!!!

Looks like a smaller Hummer to me.

Everytime I see something like that it makes me realise how lucky it was that my teenage son stepped into the road inf ront of a Ford Escort, Went 10 feet in the air but got away with it.

I wonder how much those tyres cost.





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

looks good for off roading.

perhaps better than a proper land rover.

It's an all-metal kit, actually. Good old-fashioned steel. And there's no Range Rover bit on it. It's based on a Nissan Patrol. If you order the 'proper' Australian version, it comes with a Chevy V8 (280 or 350 Hp) engine and a custom-made chassis.

Only the watered down British version keeps stock Nissan engine and chassis so it doesn't have to pass SVA. (making it slow as fuck.)

Also: it's in fact larger than the Hummer!


I want one! (my daily driver is a little 110cc scooter btw, and I'm quite happy with it, so forget about the 'compensation' remarks )

Imagine getting hit by that thing, it'd chew you up, you'd come out the back like you'd been through a 'wood chipper'
