So what would you take? I'd try something like a vauxhall monaro so I could do it sideways. Probably need a few spare tyres though!

My cousin in the US used to drive a 12V71 powered Peterbilt. I was only 9 when I saw it. I thought it sounded amazing.Zelandeth wrote:If I was to take a commercial vehicle it would have to be the rig a friend of mine had a few years back, started out life as a very normal Kenworth long-nose tractor unit. At some point though it had its original engine pulled out and a Detroit 12V71 crammed in. That's a two-stroke V12 diesel, in this case fitted with two six inch, straight through exhaust stacks. Between those and the supercharger suffice to say it didn't half make a nice noise...tunnels in particular were fun.
Never quite did get fully to grips with the gearboxes...had high and low range on the main box but also had a two speed axle which gave a silly possible number of ratios. Sadly they sold it in a fit of common sense a few years ago and neither of us have seen it since.
Oooh, scary. That looks exactly like the Truck used in Duel... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067023/NewcastleFalcon wrote: One of these would be challenging, either up or down, and unlike the superb Tesla there would be plenty of noise and smoke
