Holy mother of God.... And I was impressed with how much our Telehandler could lift.

How much do you think that crane could lift?

First project at uni was about Ekranoplanes, what a heap of ****, why ask a bunch of first years to make a working model of something that never actually worked.

Coincidentally I was just watching a programme on the History channel on these - only one built and an inexperienced test pilot crashed it. Mighty fine idea even if it never really worked!

Quoted for truth. Police in England have it bad when you compare most of their cars to this beast.

This thing makes a seriously scary sound. Their road presence has been marred slightly by the white paint, but they are still a cool looking wagon!

Is that the Lurgan station? (top one)

A hovercraft that deploys tanks is the most awesome thing I've seen, ever.

Imagine being on the recieving end of attack hovercraft loaded with tanks, its almost like sharks with ******* laser beams. Awesome!
