Sawon TGN and did some googling. Seems it's a .

Maybe WWG could come out with a Weird Vehicles of the World collection!

Not to bash Denny and the WWG people, but I think that would come out much better if done by Mel/Ebbles. His vehicles are just so spiffy.

I mean just compair the to Mels , like the Chaparral much better and can't knock the price difference.

Ah, the ZIL-29061 - sometime in the 1970s I think that it made the cover to either Popular Science or Popular Mechanics. The beast never left the prototype stage - too unwieldy, and what it did to roads in its wake was not even funny (at least if you were Russian... I am sure that some Americans thought that it was a hoot ).

Slow and awkward, but equally so on snow, mud, sand, or water - it never really got slowed down, but never got very fast, either.

A version of this was done up as a mod for Fallout 3, and I have considered it for my game, I just don't know how likely it is that the beastie would be in Florida.... The version in Fallout is called the Chimera.

Right now I am watching the with a fair amount of interest. (Which has also made it to the cover of Popular Science, . )

The Auld Grump, who remembered the ZIL-29061, but had long forgotten the name.
