From what I can figure, the Deminachine was a cross-marketing scheme between Hot Rod magazine, Coke, and Levi's. 109 were built, most were used by distributors, but 25 were given away as prizes, ten in the US and 15 in Canada. I wonder if I have the skills to recreate this in FH5?

I know the VQ & VR engines are superior to the old VG30, but the VG30DETT was one damn good looking engine. I really miss the old cast aluminum multi-runner intakes so prevalent in the late 80s and 90s. I also love the grunty, low pitch, almost Porsche 930 sound they make (surely a result of the cast unequal length exhaust manifolds & turbos) over the Louis Armstrong trumpety noises of the VQ engines. I'm mystified as to why somebody would put one in a Mazda MPV though.

I know there's no power steering on those, but I'd still fashion wider rubber. Love the wheels on both of them.

Do RVs based on vans count in this thread? Here's a VW Winnebago Rialto. I saw one of these over the weekend. I like it.
