As the Dakkar didn't happen this year - there was an opportunity to visit the place where they live

QUOTE(`nT @ Feb 11 2008, 12:32 AM)  That thing looks like a load of fun! Great pictures too mate! Nice work It is! Did some km's with it - it doesn't react to road bumps at all, where I shld've been driving my Focus 15-20km/h It goes 60+ easily. 5.7 V8 from a Vette with 4wd and sequential gearbox - could be ~7 secs 0-100km/h. It's very loud and hot inside - as per driver, can be up to +80c during Dakkar, dunno, how a man can drive and breath remaining alive at that temperatures. |

Awesome vehicle. I really like the interior shots, you did a good job capturing how insane it must be, driving inside that thing.
