    You never really grew up, did you? Saw you other vids too.

    Let me just say: :cry:

    EDIT: Wow, that was creepy. My Cf-29 just went into standby. I think I scared it with your vid.

    Busted screen isn't that big of a deal. I still have a CF-28 that has a busted screen. Can still see everything on the screen even though the cracks go all the way across.

    It was half disassembled. The structural integrity was wholly weakened, I'd wager...

    @ADOR,

    There are unused icons on your desktop, it could be detrimental to the long term health of your screen. :rolleyes:

    Considering that it had been about 6 months since I fired that CF-28 up that may be the reason why, lol. I am saving it for a prop for my warthog project. Thought the busted screen would look just right with it.

    Yes that would be my Halo Warthog replica I have been working on. It will have about 2 to 3 toughbooks used in it. Right now I am looking at using one cf-28 and two CF-07's. Here is the build thread on it.

    Let The Madness Begin, Or My Warthog Build.

    Flickr album on it

    My dad is using the shop to right now working on his 79 Dodge little red express truck. I will have the shop next time in and finally get the body fitted then welded to the new chassis. Already have a new engine to go into it and put the 35" tires on it.

    Bloody hell, mate. Thats freaking awsome! I alway wanted to buil on of those. Probably never gonna find the time though. I'm usually knee deep in some other car.

    While on the subject of scifi cars, i've decided to build a brand new body for the super seven. My girlfriend crashed it anyway so the front end is busted (About now, iusually make a comment about women and their driving, but the sad truth is that she's a better driver than me.). I'm gonna try to make it look like the MKII Viper from battlestar galactica. Well at least as much thats possible. Pretty sure i cant get rid of the wheels :lol:

    Shouldnt be an issue, eh?

    What does your 7 have in it? I have seen several different version from front engine rear wheel drive to rear engine rear wheel drive to chain driven. I have a complete 2006 raven R6 engine put up for a special project later on.

    It shouldn't be too hard to do that to your car, just going to have to get creative after the cockpit.

    When I get done with the Warthog I have the frame cut out for the Halo 3 mongoose, then I will have to decide if the Tumbler or a Scorpion will be next.

    Rob great video, you do not know how many times I wanted to do that when I supported a fleet of 20 similar toughbooks. Enjoyed the 20" apple attack video. :D
    Guys how did this become a fast car thread? :confused:
