I was going for a Warthog-style wheeled vehicle but ended up with something smaller and lower-slung.
Weapon mounts, from l to r: railgun, missiles, manned turret.
Inspired by some tires I got in a parts draft.

A Gwent police Armed response vehicle, seen here blue lighting it towards a road traffic collision involving a Metropolitan Police Motorbike. The officer was ok following the incident.
The female driver seemed most embarrassed she had just rear ended one of 16 police motorbikes travelling in convoy.

Austin also made commercial vehicles, one of which was the FG, previously the Morris FG. The FG was the workhorse that kept Britain running in the 1960s. These Austin FGs and later the Leyland FGs all had petrol or diesel longstroke engines, producing good torque, but very little in the way of speed (40 mph was a good speed out of these vehicles). Leyland were to take over the FG, but before they did, in 1964, the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) commissioned six rolling chassis FGs to be coach built by a Middlesex company, Palmer Coachbuilders. These six vehicles, registration 660 GYE to 666 GYE, were outdoor broadcast scenery vehicles.

I used to have a tradition on Christmas, I would treat myself with one of these small vintage sets which I love so much. I've got this one about 3 years ago and it was fairly cheap, as it was stated as "used" by the seller. While the box was opened, to my surprise the bricks turned to be immaculate, crunching new – if you owned unused old bricks you know what I'm talking about – so I guess the car must have been built once or twice, then taken apart and stored away.
I don't know what I love most about it, how proportionate it is despite the minimal number of parts, how good the embossed prints feel (chrome on the front brick!), the awesome box that makes a perfect garage without having to take the car apart, or maybe the fact that it comes from an age when those who enjoy(ed) LEGO were less concerned with things like "legal", "techniques", "purism" and other uptight expressions describing the otherwise free and unrestricted act of playing.
Speaking of which, I can only hope that LEGO will stop messing around with turning illegal techniques into legal ones – like they did with those clip-held tiles in the 76042 SHIELD Helicarrier – as God forbid, theorists might get the headaches. Just kidding ;P
Anyway, whatever there is that makes it, this little car fills me with purely illegal joy every time I get it out of its box.

This is the UMM Alter II, a Portuguese all terrain vehicle.
Portugal was never famous for its auto industry, this being one of the most successful ones.
They were produced from 1986 to mid-nineties, used Peugeot engines and many can still be found on our roads. This is the short soft top version.
About the model, it has doors and hood that open, engine, detailed interiors, steering and rear suspension.

Local and outside car clubs arrived with their antique cars at the Antique Tractor Pull at the Northville Farm Heritage Centre on Sunday. It was all part of the Annual Apple Blossom Festival of events. Nova Scotia, Canada.
Brenda O'Brien is the proud owner of the 21st privately owned Plymouth Prowler. (Mr. O'Brien tells us that the first 200 were reserved for Chrysler executives so they have number 221). This beautifully designed street rod is graced with Prowler Purple Metallic exterior paint and a slate grey interior. Under the hood is a 3.5L V6 and a modified ECM allowing the production of 252 hp. The O'Briens also have a matching Prowler trailer.
Wipe the drool off your chin; then, take a closer look!
Design [Plymouth Prowler]
One of the most striking design features of the Prowler are the open, Indy-racer-style front wheels. The design of the Prowler was said to have been inspired after Chrysler engineers were given free rein to create whatever they wanted in a "hot rod" or "sportster" type vehicle.
The Prowler featured a powertrain lifted from Chrysler's LH-cars, a 3.5L SOHC V6 producing 214 horsepower (160 kW). For the 1999 model year the engine was replaced with a more powerful 253 hp (189 kW) version of the engine. Both engines were coupled to a 4-speed Autostick automatic transmission. The transmission is located at the rear of the vehicle and joined to the engine by a flexible driveshaft that rotates at engine speed; this arrangement is similar to that used by the C5 Corvette and Alfa Romeo 75, and helped to facilitate a desirable 50-50 (percentage, front-rear) weight distribution. The Prowler was the first rear-wheel drive Plymouth since the 1989 Plymouth Gran Fury and was based on the 1993 concept car of the same name.
The car prominently featured aluminum in its construction, chiefly in the chassis. In many cases, the components were adhesively-bonded. The body was produced in Shadyside, Ohio, USA and the car was assembled by hand at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant (CAAP) in Detroit Michigan.

Forgot who it was that said it, but..."I have got to get me one of these!!!!" :) It is the replacement for the original GMVs, designed for long range patrol vehicles, not general purpose patrolling. Modular design for addt'l accessories...ballistic windows, etc.
I'm easily influenced; Calin's recent work, which by his own admission was in some way influenced by de-marco got me excited enough to have a little dabble.
Rather than try and replicate anything specific I made a black saloon car from the early '60s. It came out looking quite European, the kind of thing you would see driving about in a Cold War spy movie.
Apologies for replacing the picture, but the lever for the A-pillar was bugging me, it was slightly bent as it just didn't quite fit. I found two more spanners - much better!

A while back, a friend suggested I make a Studebaker Avanti, and though I don't generally use real vehicles or brands, I decided to take a stab at doing something in the same general feeling, and I came up with this. Figuring out the fins with the turn signals was definitely the biggest challenge for this vehicle, considering the weird spacing of the parts vertically.

How would a Formula 1 Grand Prix car look like if there were no regulations? This is Red Bull's vision. The fictional prototype vehicle was featured in the PlayStation 3 video game Gran Turismo 5.
New in at Tyneside Heritage Vehicles is a rare survivor of the Scania Metropolitan race, former Tyne & Wear PTE 769 (OCU 769R). The decker has been parked up at Gardiner's of Spennymoor for a handful of years now after considerable work spent on killing off the curse of Metropolitan body-rot of the all-steel frame. It has remained in storage for over six year at Gardiners when the owners distanced themselves from it's restoration.
769 has now made it into the Felling collection after being purchased by a party of THV members. From bodywork panels to the simple seat mounts, a lot of bits have been already made at Gardiners - completing the giant jigsaw can now start.
