Eddy Gordo Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Dual wheels at the back, so not steerable. Not driven, but steerable. A guy I know is an engineer that specializes in abnormal loads. It's a very interesting field.For the Caledon windfarm project he had to build a computer model of the terrain around one specific corner to see if they'll make it. And for certain components they had to take a different route as there was a bridge that wasn't strong enough.Yeah, saw something similar on discovery or something where they also moved a massive object in the states or europe(not sure). They also used steerable trailers and they also have motorised dolly'sVery interesting. Oh yes, they also did a computer generated test. PhilipV 1

And for certain components they had to take a different route as there was a bridge that wasn't strong enough.I should have called you before I bought my dog a better new kennel.......and found that it was too big to go through the door in the back garden, too heavy to lift over the high electrified fence, impossible to get over the spiked wall......and I had to saw the roof off the thing to get it to where it had to be in 2 parts. Now it actually works better because you can take the roof off to clean it inside. So, in my rather haphazard kind of way, I got it just perfectly right.

Bateleur1 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 We have these, but have no idea if the rear turns We have that as well but the rear part is just a pure trailer. Also very common here. If you look at my other pic you will notice it is a different setup.

Bateleur1 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 so ours is actually better than yours Ours is proven to drive through rain. You must still see if yours can Sepia, Wannabe, Long Wheel Base and 1 other 4
MTBeer Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Ours is proven to drive through rain. You must still see if yours can I'll let you know in July 2018 hopefully Bateleur1, Sepia, Hairy and 1 other 4
Hairy Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) This is more exciting about where things are going with AR...just the tip of the iceberg so to say Edited October 10, 2017 by Hairy
Robbie Stewart Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Thanks Morph. This takes me back some ways to the days yonder when I used to paddle out at Vicbay, Herolds Bay and the spots around there. What I love about this pic is the anticipation about the ride to come. That drop, the bottom turn, the endless possibilities to come - is the wall going to fold and form a barrel, will the lip hold allowing huge carves, are there going to be sections to float or smash? Ah, to surf again...

Went flying over a speedtrap on the N1 at well over 160 km/h. As the cops jumped out to pull the car over it just flew by and they could not see a driver in the car. Cops put chase but had to call in a helicopter to help with the chase. Somewhere by the golden highway the car went off an off ramp an made and error and went of the curb at hight speed, popping all four tires. Helicopter spotted the boy jumping out and somehow he evaded them. As the cops got to the car they still found some clothing that was on the seat that the boy sat on to help him see over the dashboard.
