Wow. Doubt you could drive that over here. You'd need a flag hanging off the back of it to comply with the laws.

That's an interesting center of gravity.

The engine is behind right? So you have all the weight on the rear axis, yet, the thing doesn't fall back on its tail. Did you add ballast on the front of the BUS? At least you have alot more fuel now.

So you have an ex airforce fuel tank. You could plumb it to the tank in your car, so you can go that bit longer between top ups!

Don't know what the crash safty would be like!:o
