Wonder how many gallons per mile this thing got.
A Mack NO 7½-ton truck doing exactly what is was designed to do, pull heavy artillery pieces. The Mack is a huge truck, weighing in at 14.5 tons on its own. It was powered by an 11.6 litre (707 cu in) straight six petrol engine that made 160 hp. The gun at the back is a 155 mm "Long Tom".

Anyone know if the towbar off an N16 Pulsar (NZ new 2003) will fit onto an N15 Pulsar (JDM 1996) without significant modification?

You want to make it taller? They're giraffe spec from factory.

Ha, the rental car my ex and I had on the Gold Coast in '98 had well over 250,000 on it.

One has to ask why this was a thing.
Rare Ford COE Twin Engine mid-1940sE&L Transport Company in Dearborn, Michigan designed the twin engine Ford truck tractors, using 2 100hp Ford truck engines driving 4-speed Warner transmissions and Timken differentials.Each engine had its own, ignition switch, gauges, radiator, transmission drive shaft, and rear end. This was basically two 1 1/2 ton trucks in one chassis using standard off-the-shelf cabover engine Ford truck parts.Some parts were modified, but all were Ford.-

M19 Tank Transporter setup which consists of an M9 trailer and M20 truck.The truck is a Diamond T 981. It was powered by a 14.7 litre (895 cu in) Hercules DFXE straight six diesel engine that produced 185 hp and 900 Nm of torque at 1,200 rpm. An 18,000 kg winch was located behind the cab of the vehicle. On the back there appears to be a bed, but this is actually a ballast box, which can be loaded with up to 8 tons of weight to increase rear wheel traction.

There is probably a dead short somewhere. Perhaps a wire has chafed on the bodywork and earthed itself where it should not.

This is a military wrecker built by Kenworth in 1942. Called a Model 580, it had a Holmes wrecker unit installed on it with a capacity rated at 10 tons. These were intended primarily to be used as tank retrievers.

One live plate, one wof, several trailers? Can't use them all at the same time anyway.
-
Either or. They're effectively the same car underneath.
As the grandson of serial BMC owners on both sides and having owned many myself I may be biased.

If you had two of them you could perhaps do the other as it is now.

Yep, two more years and my daily pulsar will be "vintage". Son's Laser already is.

A heap of those Bren gun carriers ended up as farm hacks down my ways.
Saw the remains of, I think, three at a farm clearing sale in Southland about sixteen years ago. Have seen a restored one being driven around at Edendale Crankup at least once also.

Keeps the secondhand market going I suppose. Good cars only a year old, often quite low mileage with the first big hit of depreciation already taken off the price.
