Many of the readers of the associated mailing list, I'm sure, will recall a time when we were obsessed with enormous dump trucks. Well, I was channel-surfing last night and happened to catch the last few minutes of the Jackie Chan chop-sockey flick Mr Nice Guy when lo and behold, what did I see but a Euclid R280 driving over a bunch of cars and through a house? Cool.

On a similar note, I wish to report a sighting of, umm, a monster limo. This thing was in LA (although it lives in Phoenix AZ). Built on the frame of a Ford F350, this beast had a radically stretched frame, a "normal" stretch limo body on the front two-thirds, and a pickup-bed at the back. It was also hugely lifted and riding on 46" tyres. Natch, it also had a full set of KC Daylighters across the top of the cab.
