That truck would be ideal for runs to the shop and dropping the kids at school.

After the bikinis the suspension was the most impressive thing- it seems you can turn, jump and drift one of those over any surface or bump, what a wonderfully mad thing.

When will Mr Harris be driving one for a review?

See, a certain Mr. C. Chapman was correct. Soft springs, and impecable damping.

Incredible stuff isn't it? It lands and then it's settled almost straight away. Video was grand. Suspension and other bouncy bits the real stars in that vid smile

Would love a go in a trophy truck! That V8 bark. That go anywhere ability just looks epic fun! thumbup


We actually have a similar championship here in the UK called Comp Safari. granted its not nearly as fast or as long as a Baja race. but the terrain is pretty tricky on most rounds with some pretty good jumps thrown in.

Not as fast (well, the races themselves aren't, we don't have dozens of miles of straight line deserts to play on) or anywhere like the travel available on the baja machines (they're huge beasts tbh, most would take up both lanes on our roads!), but the comp safari cars are a bit like a cross between those and a normal rally car.

Is this video 300bhp's answer to the question "My daughter has just passed her test - what cheap, safe and practical first car would you suggest?"

And that is legendary...ooook. smile

We definitely use different definitions for "legend" wink

Sport Legends:
Alex Zanardi YES
Muhammad Ali YES
Michael Schumacher YES
Stanley Matthews YES
Roger Federer YES
Martina Navratilova YES
etc...etc...

Same applies to the medicine, architecture, science, engineering, art etc...fields, but Dan Bilzerian?
Not so much... wink

not a legend - but this gains him many man points! " On March 9, 2011 Bilzerian raced fellow race car enthusiast and Supreme Court Litigator Tom Goldstein for a wager of $385,000 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, with Bilzerian racing a 1965 AC Cobra and Goldstein behind the wheel of a Ferrari 458 Italia. Bilzerian won the race."

I assume this was a straight line drag race? (otherwise it suggests Goldstein can't drive a greasy stick up a pigs a**e !!)

good video to start with,and that truck! what a bit of kit,unreal the way jumps off the terrain and does't bounce off the road.
don't think the Bowler range rover would get even close to it.
