Haven't seen that.  How can that be street legal? :-?

Hey, I called out to you on a "Rambling" post on Jan 7...  Just wondering what you've been up to.

Call it a farm vehicle  that will make it street legal.

Why in the world would anyone want a double wide Jeep? It does look like there is some kind of license on the front and rear. I'm not sure it's legal either. I think there is a law on the width of a highway vehicle.

Yeah, dumb.
Not legal on most roads. There is a width limit.
Calling it a farm implement probably won't get you a pass from the law. You'd need "Wide Load" banners and an escort in most states.

Judging by the clothing of the driver and something I read somewhere else about the same clip, I think this is based in a different country.  Nowhere in the US would that be legal or practical to drive on the road. Even with escorts.

Someone obviously has too much money.

Oh Guys,, I hate to come off like an efite jeep snob here, but that is the historical Hummette, predecessor to the Hummer in all its glory!.. This rarely seen and most coveted version of the Hummer is generally only available in regions of the world dominated by sand, as you could probably deduce by the white garments of the choffeur.  Not often seen in daylight, this extreme machine usually sports spinner hub caps and bojangle curtains in its night fighting accoutrements, however this particular one is most likely the utility version due to its comfort in the daylight hours and lack of squinting by the driver.  I would hope that one day this rare creature would be seen on the streets of Coleman Texas, but I'm not sure that any of us will live that long.

Did I post this in the right section?  been havin some trouble with that.

Oh Guys,, I hate to come off like an incredibly knowledgeable jeep guy here,but that is the historical double Hummette, predecessor to the Hummer in all its glory!.. This rarely seen and most coveted version of the Hummer is generally only available in regions of the world dominated by idiot savants and compulsive droolers, as you could probably deduce by the white padded garments of the chauffeur. It has, however, been seen with the Doublemint twins, which is the only useful purpose we can see. �Not often seen in polite company, this extreme machine usually sports spinner hub caps and bojangle curtains in its dark of night stealth accoutrements, however this particular one is most likely the stripped down utility version due to its comfort in the daylight hours and lack of squinting by the driver. �I would hope that one day this silly ride would be seen being dragged down the streets of Coleman, Texas, headed to the scrapyard,but I'm not sure that any of us will live that long. Perhaps F Bill will build a version with two jeeps, but weld them together end to end instead. Then he can actually have room for his tools and all the needed  spare parts on the next trip he takes.


Fixed it for ya. �;D
