Troop Carrier Limousine: The Ultimate Stag Machine

Ex-Army soldier Derek Hardman has, as he calls it, taken a gamble and spent $20,000 turning a 5-ton troop transport into the ultimate guys limousine complete with audio system, fridge, smoke machine and a real machine gun.

“It is a gamble, but it is one worth taking. “I believe I have found a gap in the market. There are plenty of limo companies, but who else offers a ride in an Army vehicle? “I can’t wait for the first bloke to be brave enough to book me as their wedding transport.”

I can see the jocks pulling up in this at their senior prom but a wedding?

LEGO Aircraft Carrier: Ready To Defend A Small Country

lego-carrier-01.jpg

LEGO’s! The greatest toy ever invented. I built all kinds of things with them when I was a kid and my son has tons of them too. Some of the newest models are wickedly cool but this has to be one of the coolest, if not the coolest model I’ve ever seen. Created from an idea, weighing roughly 350lbs, using 300,000 LEGO bricks and taking over a year to build, it’s a scale model of the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman complete with electrical lights on the deck, hangar, aircraft, movable elevators, radar dishes and a motorized catapult.
