Thanks everyone. I hear yah Go-Fish, Batman in general is OK as far as movies and entertainment are concerned, I just love the vehicles, the original Keaton Batmobile being my favorite. The menacing looks, dark theme and mystery surrounding the cars is what I love about the films. ;)


Pete - Hey mate, nice to see you. It's a toy, so 1-2 a week, no small drives.
The same as Lucy, so between them, enough driving. The Jeep is the daily. Selling the rice lol.

Thanks everyone and Dave. Don't worry, when Madeline is done, at first, missed gears will be a sure bet. Driving Lucy with her TF727 is one thing, driving a 5-Speed with her (Madeline's) grunt with the right hand is another. Driving on the other side of the car is fine. I'm thinking it'll be easier to shift in LHD pushing up and towards 3rd (2pm) rather than pulling towards and up, kind of makes more sense to me?

I hope so as I've had to go to ask Warner Music Group (MCG) for use of the soundtrack lol. That is why it's hosted on Photobucket, they have less (see slack) stringent copyright rules. I want to get it out and about on You Tube, but, they won;t load it due to the copyright infringement law, fair enough too.

That is absolutely amazing!  :faint: 

Looks like your camera skills are way up there too.  :picture:

It also looks like one thirsty truck and never met a fuel station it didn't like.  :lol:

Just awesome.  :clapping:

So far so good but I'm good at talking to cops. :biggrin: I have that many excuses it's not funny LOL. Just done a photoshoot forgot about putting them back on, cable ties broke (bend the plate a little for more drama), no plate locators (or waiting for the plate bracket) the list goes on. I have the front plate under my drivers seat to help pull off some of the mentioned tales. The truck itself (being American and not your typical "Boy Racer" car) talks it's way out it self. I was actually out and about with Lucy & the BATRAM (Bro in law driving it) and we went down a side street.....low and behold, Mr Plod.

We were doing 40kph past him, Lucy with her US plates (green no less) and the BATRAM behind me with no plates on at all lol. He had his brakes/lights on, head slightly out the window, slight eye contact and no one around, I thought for sure that the BATRAM was getting pulled over. Nope, nothing, straight past him. I've personally been past 5-6 cops thus far, nothing, I think the whole image gets them sidetracked. To me, the pros FAR out weigh the cons of having one on there. Plus, go on Trade-Me and the SRT/10 and/or Rams are like 50/50, some have plates, some don't. I think they look very "normal" without plates, so less attention is drawn to them.
