Smart dog according to the Ford haters. 😀

I am not that strong in modern American pickups, it seem like they too have begun to all look alike.

"Ordentlike" is spelled ordentlig in Danish, but no way near pronounced like in the Afrikaans language, But ordentlig also translate to Decently / proper and other things depending on who you ask and what the translator support outside of the most clinically clean Danish language.

Just one of the little things making Danish so hard for others to learn, so in this case the same word can be used in like 10 different ways.

Quite a few words in Danish with Dutch origin, and so it should be the Dutch bailed us out at least one time, if they dident then i would probably be sitting in Sweden now.
And we are both historically both large seafaring nations.

I think the English F.ck is in the Danish dictionary and "thing" is ting in Danish, the same just no h in Danish, and the Afrikaans / Dutch / German "ding" that's their word for thing.

About 600 words in the English language originate from Denmark / Danish

My mind are a raging torrent of languages 😀

Little known fact: that is exactly what indicators are for. They emit photons, and thanks to particle/wave duality they have mass, the weight of which opposes the tendency to roll away from the turn. So you are less likely to roll over.

BMW drivers take note.

Sounds like you are not a MOPAR guy Gibson 😀
 
Cracked Heads, Every Valve Rattles, Oil Leaks Everywhere Too 😛

Ironically the Chevrolet brothers got their start in automotives by manufacturing racing parts for the Ford Model T engines under the name "Frontenac". They were best known for their "D.O. Fronty" cylinder head, a 4 valves per cylinder twin-overhead cam cross-flow type that is still commonly used today 😉 They helped Ford become
First On Race Day 😎

And the Dodge brothers was big into Ford before they split off to make their own.

Race on Sunday, sell on Monday.

Not really... About the only American vehicles I like are the Corvette, viper, and some classics like the old bel Aire, de Soto, corvair, and trucks.

Though I do like the looks of the Holden maloo and monaro. American parent company at least...

That thing sure as hell arnt the most pretty thing around.

I will probably have to find another body down the line, but have to run with that yota body to start with.

Neither is the real thing - but this one has a real interesting tread pattern. 🙂

Have you heard about the Bollinger B1 - announced two days ago?

All-electric sport utility truck with 360 horsepower and up to 200 miles of range - 472 pound-feet of torque - 0-60 in 4.5 secs - $60,000.

It's a kind of anti-Tesla/Chevy Bolt sort of analogue/digital no nonsense vehicle with few bells and whistles but lots of grit.

Interesting story: https://www.theverge.com/transportation/2017/7/27/16052118/bollinger-b1-electric-sport-truck-outdoors

Driving one is horrid too. Massive blind spots, and you can't really see behind you because the spare is so high. And the suicide doors are a joke. They're surprisingly quiet on the highway though... So smooth that the first time I drove one with a manual, I nearly stalled out because apparently 6th gear can't do 10 mph through a turn. 😛

Thats what i was thinking too, at least until i have made up a light bar, but that can wait until next year as i doubt we will be doing any night drives this year.
But the SJ cams will look a little silly but they are all i have with EIS and that is needed as these little suckers drive in a rough terrain if you scale that up to fit the 1:10 car.
Just top speed on these and a on board camera and things start to get quite bouncy and hard to watch as sadly the suspension on them while proper oil shocks and all their function just dont scale as well.

Putting the camera up high some 5-6 inches over the car and you can almost get seasick watching the footage even if i drive as slow as i can.
