Vehicle Selection... · 4:53am Jul 2nd, 2015
Ever since I started writing "The Transporter: Second Gear" I've been wondering what kind of vehicles to provide our drivers with. I do know one of them will be behind the wheel of this:
And our support pony will be driving this:
Please feel free to supply your own suggestions for what you think would be an appropriate vehicle for travelling across the largely undeveloped Equestrian landscape!
'69 Dodge Charger
'57 Chevy Bel-Air
'70 Chevy Camaro
'74 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona
'86 Ferrari Testarossa
3201971 Thanks for the input! Definitely going to use the '69 Charger, but it'll need mods to operate well on Equestrian terrain. Keep in mind, the idea of a proper "road" (highway/freeway) is still a ways off in the land of the ponies, so any vehicle that's intended to survive multiple missions will need to be semi/fulltime offroad capable.
I'm probably a little late to the game but, I was thinking that since most of Equestria has no developed roads yet, your drivers are going to need something to handle the tough terrain. You got the speedy machine handled obviously with the Rally Fighter. The AMG 6x6 will obviously help with heavier duty. However, what if on a long route that leaves the drivers tired and nowhere near an available bedding facilities for miles?

This could fix that problem. It is the AEV Brute with a lightweight collapsible camper top courtesy of Earth Roamer. Great for resting up out in the wilderness. And the four door model can help with carrying the additional load also.

I was going to pick something along the lines of a Landmaster:

Specifically due to the unique, serviceable wheel arrangement, as demonstrated below:
But that AEV Brute is a good idea!
3221317 Oh yeah the Landmaster is pretty cool. Ive seen that picture once or twice while scouring the interwebs.
3221804 Plus, it's the perfect name for a vehicle... In any universe.
Any thoughts on another fast offroader?
3221813 Bowler Nemesis perhaps...

3221823 Done and Done.
Oh yeah, came across this the other day. A truly interesting vehicle.
