I saw something similar to that in ashville, NC while I was at outward bound. It is very interesting, but for $75K!!! Thats a lot. Marcel |

I found a great FC101 board that had, among a LOT of other info, a good write up on these. The 101s dressed up for the Judge Dredd movies were really no signficiant modifcation at all. Just a cool looking (fiberglass?) body thrown over a stock FC lower. They set up some cameras and screens so the drivers could get around without windows. One major complaint was that they had no a/c or ventilation, so it got pretty darn hot under there. If you could track one down at a decent price it would do a good job of intimidating other drivers on that Monday morning commute! -Lawrence |

Pretty cool, but check out Alan Ottley's 101, much more suited to my likes: http://www.roverworx.com/101anatomy.htm ~Art Vigil |

http://www.eastcoastrover.com/104.html is my current favorite. I don't like everything that ECR does, but I LOVE this. I don't think it will ever be a pinzgauer, but it might beat up on some mogs when it gets locked up. |

That was a terrible movie - but I do remember them in the flick - they were yellow in the movie if I remember right.
