The specs for the engine/gearbox I like but I think the price and the weight will kill any prospects of civvy use if any go up for auction in the distant future.
Check the specs down the bottom of the link. They seem to turn out some good gear down at
Bendigo.

G,Day Doug,
Awsome vehicle!
Our company has been doing dimensional laser measurement on the Thales Hawkei & Bushmaster vehicle for the past year or so. I have often joked with my fellow workmates that I might just grab the keys & drive one out the
gate but I reckon I would not get very far.
I can't imagine how much fear you could put into someone if they looked in the rear view mirror & saw one of these behind them!
Apart from a
tank nothing else comes close offroad.
Cheers
Stu

Stu,
I know a few tracks that it would be too wide for.

Yep. Particularly in the Victorian high country.
But I still want one!! Mind you one needs to have a pretty thick wallet to keep the fuel up to it.

It does not matter how much the fuel costs when the government (I mean us tax payers) foot the bill!

Is this to be the replacement for the Troopy? At least you would be able to
get through that deeeep bog hole at the
gate . . lol
