Offroad-Express

This is Higgies cruiser. looks awesome but is quite useless.

Americans want this one to take back to the States
4.2 turbo
Cast iron gearbox because no alloy box is strong enough
On the steepest firebreaks can change up to 3rd to keep momentum going. One hill was so steep the wheels were spinning forward and the truck was sliding back down the hill.

pics and clips from 1998 and is still going strong



Cheers Bulletproof

I guess with a 40 that sounds like that, he has an excuse, so what yours

just some friendly banter aimed at pete

but when I did have my 40, I can vouch that a single 3" exhaust sounds a shite load better than twins,

I just wish my hippo sounded half as good as either of your 40's Damn diesels
Was thinking of getting one of those V8 door bells from Ripco, and putting a micro switch on the accelerator, and mounting speakers under the truck

I'll rip you a copy of the CD that has a whole lot of car sounds on it.

Then you can decide if you wanna be a ferrari or a skyline or an AC Cobra etc etc etc


I'd let you know what my 40 sounds like, but I don't have any footage, am waiting on a DVD from spanky who may need some reminders

Post it when you eventually get it
If I had the cash when it was for sale, I'd have bought it for a bush truck Then I could've phoned ya while I was driving so you could listen to it
I guess the time will come when you build another though

The missus can't understand why I enjoy the sound of these motors so much, and thinks I'm mad when I get excited hearing a Merlin engine at airshows


Sorry for the thread jacking
