  1. I do hope there was nobody in that truck into the barricade. From the fixed camera position and slo-mo, it certainly looks like some kind of test. An interesting exercise in momentum and inertia.

    • That, my boy, was a modern truck vivisection, courtesy of NHTSA. A few years ago, of course…

  2. Is image number 10 of a cab- over forward control Jeep? Deathray should keep an eye out for a Michelin Man suit like the fellow in number 21, the padding will help cushion any falls. If any readers should have surplus mattresses, think about donating them to Deathray, freight- on, of course.
    They’ll be useful come winter as a soft landing area, in case he falls again. But until then, he’ll be able to get some use from them when his “Georgia peach”, a.k.a. Tank Abrams pays him a goodwill visit (I think it will need more than one lone little mattress).

      • G’day Phil. I’ve about wore out that magnifying glass you suggested that I buy. Far be it for me to suggest health advice to people, but it’s fucking scary dealing with acute diabetic blindness. I thought my blood glucose levels were well controlled, and they are, but the ophthalmologist said the damage was commutative over the previous two decades.
        I’ll have racked up twelve return flights Cairns – Brisbane in the last year. At least the airlines are scoring well from Queensland Health, and I’ve managed to train the air hosties pretty well, they fight over who gets to help me to my seat.
        The really scary bit is the (slim) possibility that Nurse Sandy will post some nekkid holiday pics, but I won’t be able to see them!

        • Better take care of yourself Johnno!
          I’m pretty sure Nurse Sandy will tell us all to keep right on dreaming but ya never know when some sexy thing will turn up.

          • BTW Phil,, will you straighten out Herr Unfuck about wearing safety glasses? He may listen to you. The silly prick has a shard of steel in his eye that an eye surgeon has to dig out, from forging some fancy twist steel. You can say I was the dobber if he’s wondering. I bet Sandy would slap his arsch for a silly mishap like that. Metal workers have been making dumb mistakes since we learned how to smelt alloys.

          • Unless you think a pic of me with my catch of the day, or me on the shooting range with my AR-15 is sexy, you are shit out of luck. 😉. No scope on that one Cederq, so no need to beat that comatose equine. 😁

  3. Cool set. I did not know the Michelen man used to be the chiclets man. In highschool on Acapulco beach and Mexico City the little kids could be heard everywhere, “Cheecklets, you want cheecklets”.

    107 here today hotter even the next three days.

    • Get ahold of Cederq at this email address and he can get ahold of me if necessary.

  4. Cederq, British Hearse? I thought that was your “Sunday-only” fancy driving truck.

    What happened on image # 3? Was that an accident or a crash test for safety? Yikes!

    • I’ve seen 2 other Articles about that Antarctic Snow Cruiser, apparently it was a Failure because the Tires had very little Tread, and they would just Spin on the Ice. If you want to see some Serious Arctic/Off Road Vehicles, look for what Russians build- both Military and Commercial, like a Tractor/Semitrailer on Tracks, with the Trailer Powered by articulated Shafting from the Tractor. Many other Rigs with Tires so Large that the Truck will Float, and Trucks that are Watertight-Bodied Amphibious.
