Road War (PBkid, ignore this thread)

[nfpgasmask]

So, last week the wife and I went down to Johnson Valley for the first "Road War Weekend Event". This was a 3 day event of Mad Max fandom. All in all, I had a decent time, but the turnout was a lot less than what I expected. I would have been happy just going for the main day, Saturday.

However, regardless of all that, the entire event was made worth while as I got a ride in Paul Miller's complete Mad Max 1 Pursuit Special. To see his car was good enough for me, but to take it out on the playa and feel her open up was amazing. My rust heap of a Falcon is only a shadow of this right now, but believe me, the thought that one day it will be this cool gets me all pumped up.

A few pics.

The car.

They look SOOOO nice together, don't they?




Aside from the Falcon, this guys lifted "HellCamino" was my favorite vehicle there.






I can't wait to get my car going.

That must have been a thrill. I bet it gave you hope for the future. Well, the future of your Falcon project at least.

Yeah, it does look like a small turnout. What was the approx. head count, ya think?

You were at Johnson Valley and didn't check out the Hammers?

Shame on me I guess...

Holy carp! That video is insane! Thanks, Billy. Unfortunately, I am not really familiar with So Cal. This was my first trip down there.

You have no idea how crazy it made me seeing Paul's completed car. Talk about envious. Just phenomenal.

Naaa, you can't. The Hellcamino is TOTALLY redneck. However, it was done up pretty wastelandish so I liked it.

You're right, and so is PB. That encampment belonged to the owners of the Hellcamino, and you know Rednecks can't spell! There are no English classes in the wasteland either.

Yeah, it looked like a lot of fun. They were hammering up the hills with it and it was cool to watch. I'll tell you what though, THIS looks like the most fun $5000 can buy:

$5 grand for that!? It looks like something we could build in a weekend in your garage with $1000 in parts! Shall we?
