Re: Let's get comprehensive with the cars of MMFR.
I didn't notice the semi truck car hauler for the wrecks or black XB interceptor in latest list?

Re: Let's get comprehensive with the cars of MMFR.
Hi Deaths Head, the car carrier is the White Road Boss (last in the list).
I didn't include the Interceptor because everyone knows all about it already -- this is more to try and get a comprehensive list of the other cars in the film (Citadel/Gastown/Bullet Farm/Buzzards).
If I ever manage to get this done, I will then try to find out about the bikes... I know there were at least 12 Rock Rider bikes, and I know that the Citadel bikes were categorised as "ARMADA" (aside from the bikes in Furiosa's convoy at the start, which were categorised as "CONVOY" alongside the Chevy and the Jag).

Re: Let's get comprehensive with the cars of MMFR.
Great additions tehCal!
One thing that kind of bothers me is Cranky Frank listed as FX Holden. It is in fact an FJ with FX grille. You can even see holes for the FJ bumper right underneath the headlights on Cranky Frank. FX doesn't have these mounting holes there.

Re: Let's get comprehensive with the cars of MMFR.
Haha, cheers. I'm not generally a car guy aside from loving the Mad Max movies, so I wouldn't know. I just copied the makes/models from Artemis Flow's page.
I'm more concerned about the personalities of the cars -- the production name, nicknames, and backstories. I don't have any idea why KMM hasn't released a book about all the vehicles in the movie!

Re: Let's get comprehensive with the cars of MMFR.
Saw a deleted scene in some behind the scenes footage where a Warboy mentioned the Citadel's armada as being divided into "pursuit" and "assault" groups. Buggies probably being pursuit, and flamecars/caltrops being assault.

Re: Let's get comprehensive with the cars of MMFR.
Deliberately left that one off - too obvious!
Thanks so much with the blanks you filled in though -- fantastic help! Pretty much nails it; I guess the remaining cars (Hillman, Lysdexia) don't fit into any category because they ended up on the back of the car carrier.
My one point of confusion: you marked down Boneyard Mongrel as a "Buggy", but I thought that was a Buzzard? Did you mean "Bones" (the ratrod), by any chance? Or was that the Lapich? In fact -- what is the Lapich Ratrod? I've never heard of it!
Also, do you know of any nicknames that I've missed?
