The prox dynamics hornet has been in production for a couple of years, and is already in use with a couple of different forces worldwide.

I do this all the time with a group of friends, We race in and around trees, around football fields, in underground carparks, basically anywhere we can sit down and fly! It's incredible fun and requires crazy skill and reflexes. I've completely destroyed quite a number of quads practicing.

I've actually held one of these, best part of knowing the curator of a firearms museum...

Helis are great for certain circumstances, but the majority of the catastrophic fires we have had in southeastern Australia have been within 100km of the ocean, which is the largest source of water I can think of... Many of the largest fires have also occurred in the vicinity of our largest dams, which a CL-415 could…

That's actually a CL-215 pictured, it has the old radial engines and shorter fuselage. The 415 runs turboprops with an extended fuselage for larger water tanks.

They make great mine trucks though... I smashed a 70 series troopie around a mine site for 4 months, the twin turbo V8 diesel is a champ. It'd take 11 people sitting in it with a heap of mine recovery gear and just keep pulling up the decline. It left the Hiluxes we had for dead when climbing out of the hole...

That footage was shot on CV-64, USS Constellation. Obviously sometime before her retirement in 2003. I miss seeing Prowlers and Tomcats on deck :(

Aussie here, can confirm. My neighbour had a Turbo falcon ute, ended up upside down in a ditch, with a tree where the rear axle should be.

The stink is pretty bad... Most new service stations I've filled at now supply those little plastic gloves, and some of that alcohol based hand sanitiser next to the diesel pump, which is kinda cool if you don't like diesel smell...

Hang on a minute... 0-60 time of 5.2? A VW Golf R will do that nowdays... It's amazing what 20 years can do to engine design...

I really wish SAAB sold those here in Australia... So much want...

That's the same wheel used on the late 90's/early 00's Holden Commodores. It's ugly as balls, but pretty comfortable on long road trips, plus you can do the super lazy highway trick of leaning the seat back, and steering with your hand hooked through that bottom hole.

My old man used to have an old Mitsubishi Magna (Diamante to the US crowd), had 220HP, FWD and the squishiest, floppiest suspension and chassis of any car I've ever driven. No traction control, no fancy diff, rudimentary ABS. Put your foot down, and it went LEFT, very little you could do about it.

The biggest issue with full sized ICE powered quadcopters is throttle response. The RC toy uses brushless motors, which have an almost instant throttle response. With an ICE powered version you'd require variable pitch propellers and some crazy mad computer systems to keep it relatively stable, essentially making it…

It doesn't matter what colour we're talking about, the Miura is still the coolest car.

Although in the Chinese auto industry, "independent, internal development" may actually mean "we looked at lots of pictures of 90's suzuki vans, and then just made that", but let's give them the benefit of the doubt!

They are a hilariously disgustingly fantastic monstrosity! Sadly, my narrow minded brain can't get over the fact that they aren't a real Porsche, what with the engine not hanging out the arse... I am so glad that the 911 outlived this...

As an Aussie who has been driving around underground for the last few months in a V8 Turbo Diesel 70 series, I understand your pain. They are a great truck, the torque is just mind blowing - they go hard!
