  • Dream Machine

    I thought I would start a new thread asking members and guests to post their configuration of a "DREAM MACHINE". The other site had a similar thread that sparked a lot of posts a while back. But could be more specific and broken down into sub-categories like: Racer and Off-Road

    Let me start with Off-Road:

    8x8
    30" tires (Frontier style 12" wide)
    12" Clearance
    Suspension
    35 mph
    2- Speed T-20 with "Drive-by-wire"
    ZTR (zero turn radius)
    Joystick
    35 hp.
    ROP with Camper
    Retractable Dual Props
    5 mph water speed
    Shaft Drive or Poly Chain (no chains)
    Weight 1,000 lbs.

    Ok thats my Dream Machine. Please don't say the Dream Machine is already here it's a xxxxxxxx, or a yyyyyyyyy. Dream big

          There's always room for the purist, Larry!

          Every time I start work on a new project, my idea of the "Dream Machine" changes. There were a lot of great ideas put to use by a lot of different people and incorporated in so many different vintage (and not so vintage) machines that you'd have a real hard time putting them together in a single amphib. It'd be fun to try, though!
          Stuck in the seventies- not in the swamp.

          (6) Attex, a Hustler, a Super Swamp Fox, (2) Tricarts, (3) Tri-sports, a Sno-co trike, 3 Dunecycles, and a Starcraft! ...so far

            2 stroke, 100 hp, 50" wide, no suspension,(you need to feel the speed) suspension seat (my back is too old) 10" ground clearance, t-20, heim joints everywhere, full gauges, good lights, 6 wheel drive, 25" tires, smooth bottom, v bow, low nose, leg room, full cage. But most of all good friends with good food and the time to bull****.
