Re: Help identifying more vehicles?
That's the Road Boss again, but good theory, I think you're right!Artemis Flow wrote:Is this it here ? like a spare tractor used to haul one of the 3 War Rig trailers , maybe pulled into action as a filler vehicle to make up numbers ?[/attachment]
In the context of the movie, it could of just broken down, been too slow to keep up, crew lost in the dust devil and abandoned, or anything. Although surprisingly enough, I just noticed it actually does appear on a promotional image of the Citadel carmada!

I don't know about anybody else, but the more unmodified vehicles look so freaking good to me. Maybe it just seems more real when it's something you recognise.Taipan wrote:

This exactly. For some reason they make a bigger post apocalyptic impression than the wacky contraptions driven by most folks in this movie. It's sort of like a throwback to RW and MM with those unmodified vehicles, puts back that kind of grounded realism into this whole madness.

I wish there were more photos of this one (Buzzard FX buggy). It seems to have been universally left out of the book/dvds/docos etc.

FX...Holden FX? How did you know? I have been trying to identify that for a long time! .-.otherunicorn wrote:I wish there were more photos of this one (Buzzard FX buggy). It seems to have been universally left out of the book/dvds/docos etc.
It was a minor vehicle though, briefly seen before getting smashed by the other buzzard car, then spent the rest of the movie as a hulk on top of the Road Boss auto carrier trailer (behind Elvis)

Re: Help identifying more vehicles?
Sure, it was a minor role, as were most of the buzzard cars, but it was onscreen longer than many of the others. As for how I know the model, one of the fellows who worked on the cars (not the buggies) said so somewhere on this Forum when I was asking about it. I'm pretty sure the donor vehicle was taken from a property around the corner from me. It vanished right about the correct time, as had (as far as my memory recalls) the same markings.

Also it's a 48-215 (FX).otherunicorn wrote:furyroadcars, do you have any idea of where that FJ holden 4 door with 6 painted on the side came from? It looks like a car that was sitting on a property in Macclesfield Vic a few years ago.

It could be before the spikes were added , heres a side pic of it here http://furyroadvehicles.blogspot.com.au ... cle-2.htmlotherunicorn wrote:I wish there were more photos of this one (Buzzard FX buggy). It seems to have been universally left out of the book/dvds/docos etc.
I think it that same pic Miller is looking at another Buzzard car before it had spikes ( out of shot )
Update : Just checked the doco and by the looks of the suspension tree and the grill I reckon the Holden above is the 2nd Buzzard saw car that tries to cut the War Rigs tyres
