Sry about the linkage, but I couldn't find the same vid on the 'Tube:

Very cool.

Yep, it's a tough one to open alright.

niiice.

I see that regularly at work. It is awesome every time.

Watching that fold I wonder how strong that rig is fully open?

If had to hazard a guess, I'd say not very.

This beast has appeared at Burning Man for 8 years although the flame is new.

Great claims for this camper but I suspect a great deal of hyperbole.

I guess it could solar-heat the shower water, not using electricity, but yeah, that does still seem like a pretty bold claim.

Maybe it should say TV, shower, laptop, coffee, 450 miles, pick one.

Pontiac cheated, hand pinstriped but look at the machinery to put it where it's supposed to go.

Look at me with my badass truck zip right up this grassy knoll...

Whoops... heh heh, I meant to do that.

It kills me to see Bubbatrucks all jacked up with low-profile tires.

It's all about what's IN, what's COOL, no thought to what's practical. But to be fair most aren't leaving the pavement anyway.

From Griff's new digs area in upper NY state, a plow owned by the Greyhound Bus Company.
That an awful lot of plow for those skinny tires. Even if it's 4 wheel drive with chains that's too much plow.
Maybe push it with a bus.

The article said tons but being Australia it could well be tonnes with would be 10% more.
The company that had these monster Kenworths built must have spent $1 million assembling one of these road trains.
They have 7 of them and calculate the cost of moving the coal to the docks in cost per gram.
Last night I heard China stopped buying Aussie coal in the middle of summer (China not Aussie) so these people may be hurting.

10¢ beer from Anheuser-Busch... it's a beautiful thing...

This may have been a breakthrough,
The article asks for corrections and needs lots.

No, I'm not buying that, No matter how much power it has one wheel does not have enough traction to replace half a dozen Clydesdales, or even Percherons, or Belgians. The weight on that wheel is the weight of the machine only, there's no load weight on it.

Spring has sprung, the grass has rise, oh what a chore the mowing is.

Don't see may vehicles with this many steering axles...

Actually it's an interesting story, from a farmer plowing a field in 1950 hitting a rock, to his son trying to remove it but ending up making the rock a local treasure.

After excavating it, it might have been easier to dig under it and drop it by a meter so they could plant over it.

But then the village green woudn't have a trophy.

Who is the guy who will get under it to dig?

Doing so mean no expenses for a burial plot or expensive funeral.
