I was just thinking about this today. I liked the mad max movies when I was a kid, but not near as much as I enjoy them now that I am older and enjoy spinning wrenches as a hobby. I have a huge appreciation for the old muscle cars and bikes used in the movie which makes me enjoy the story even more.





But I bet there are some people out there that were into the movies first and became a gearheads when they started trying to build replicas and such.

First the movies


after that some love to know how a car works, but i am no gearhead, yet.

..been turning wrenches from the age of 8 , MM was released a few years later

Max, it got me into cars, well only a little, i'd prefer an X-wing fighter (to any car but the black interceptor)

I grew up around 18-wheelers and carried around an encyclopedia of world air power when I was 7. I heard about the Max trilogy when I was in junior high. I rented them and was hooked ever since. I think I've built about 6 different model versions prior to the Aoshima kits, and sketched probably 1000+ BoB's and other vehicles. I didn't get into cars until college and after...always like them, just not fully "into" them. I'd have to say it was a natural progression...a coming of age movie, realizing the potential power and coolness of cars...especially those funny-lookin' Mustorino's that were driven on the wrong side in the movies...

Max fan as I saw BTD first and there was not a hint of the muscle cars I grew to love in MM, and RW.

i don't give a f**k about cars, they are just a loadsh*t of inhorganic metal.





i'm a mad max fan.

Heresy!!!!

Heary Wonky! Him sad, got up on wrong side of life! Me explain, BoB's why half of people on here, you character fan...DRIVE ON!

Carefull there, Uncle.. I can smell boiling tar and hear the squawk of chickens beaing de-feathered..


Quite certain I couldn't convince our more thin skinned denizens to turn the other cheek..





My dad was a VW Mechanic when I was little (Specialized in Air Cooled) But I was never much interesed in cars until I hit High School.


That's about when I first saw MM2RW.





I was Awestruck by the BoB.


Then, I was hooked. I set myself to learning.





One of the first things I learned was the car can be far more than a mere machine contrived for transportation.. But a work of ART!
