Title: Whats the coolest off roader ever?
Post by: Jake on February 02, 2007, 21:54:10

Now there's a question.
We all have a favorite from our childhood or a particular car from a show.
So, whats your favorite one?
The obvoius would be the original Big Foot but for me it the Land Rover from the original Italian Job film.
Full length roof rack, window guards and a tow hitch to steal gold with!
For me, nothing comes close  :wink:
Whats your fav's?

I'd say mine was from the Bigfoot family, but it was called Miss Bigfoot i think.

It then got 'done up a bit' and was called Bigfoot Ranger!

Saw some video of it somewhere, only had 44" tyres, but loved it!!

LM002 was a hummer before the hummer was born, I hate the civilian hummer, this was and still is the real deal.

Was that the one like two vehicles in one that could split up? I'm sure I remember having a Corgi or Matchbox model of that  :lol:

Lara or the pickup?  

or

both??


Mine was seeing a Scammell S26 T cab 10 wheel tractor unit
(dark blue and anything that could be chromed, was chromed)
in part of a tandem, with a Scammell Constructor behind with
a 250 ton transformer and 2 other Scammell Constructors on
the other end of the trailer. All going through Manchester,
they weren't trying to get through, they were going through.......
but that was some 24 yrs ago.

but for a car, just dreaming of being able to own a landrover was
enough for me :D

same as dreadnaught110.... the fall guy's pick-up was pretty cool. But if ever there was a movie made with a BOWLER NEMESIS, then i'd probably change my mind :twisted:

All great answers but im amazed noone mentioned the last of the V8's ...the interceptor from mad max. By far my favourite. Supercharger!!! Nitrous...its got it all!

May seem a weird choice but in the film it spend plenty of time off the road.

Dear Land Rover,

I've just seen the Mad Max Interceptor and want to know why my supercharger does not look as cool :( In fact - I want to know why I can't see mine .. I suggest you mount it just like the Interceptor!

Yours,

Narked ;-)
