Best of both worlds !

February 12th, 2009

When I am at home in the UK, there is nothing I enjoy more than jumping in my Nissan 200sx turbo and going for a blast in the country lanes of the South Downs. The car is an ongoing project and at the moment produces 260BHP which is up 90bhp on the factory standard. That may not sound much compared to the “Yank tanks,” but from 1.8 LTR engine and weighing little more than a ton it, will propel it to 60mph in 6 secs and onto 150mph [138 proven and still pulling]

Now as some of you might know, when I am Roadtripping in America I love the R.V lifestyle and one day hope to buy a Motorhome for touring Europe. That is when [if] time and money isn’t an issue. If I could afford one at the moment it would spend 50 weeks of the year sat on the driveway collecting cobwebs.

Anyway, to the point of my ramblings. I have just found my idea of Roadtrip Heaven and thought I would share it.

At more than a million Bucks it’s gonna have to wait a while though! Click here to read an article about this million dollar vehicle.

I did some more poking around the site of the company building these machines and found this one, which is capable of off-highway travel!
