Real exotic car for sale. 1967 Volkswagen Beach Buggy. Looks damn prinstine for a 43 year old car... I mean buggy.

If you are a fan of or have played the video game series Halo, then you will recognise the vehicle you see here. It is known as the Warthog (a.k.a the M12 Light Recon Vehicle) and it is like a crossover between a dune buggy and a huge truck. This real life version of the Warthog was commissioned by 343 Industries (the company that made Halo 4) and they engaged a Los Angeles based marketing company to build it. Franchise development director at 343 Industries, Frank O' Connor, mentioned that the company wanted to really build something that people could literally see, touch, reach out and enjoy. O' Connor managed to persuade the marketing department to approve his team's idea and budget. And they engaged Antenna to make the Warthog into a reality and the budget figures ran into the hundreds of thousands. Pat Devereux, chief executive of Antenna, stated that 343 Industries sent him an enormous amount of data for the Warthog. Devereux then took the data to Aria Group; who was responsible for actually building the vehicle. Aria Group is known for building numerous concept vehicles for automakers such as General Motors, Honda and Kia. The company took around six months to build the body to the exact specifications and appearance, including the fake heavy machine gun at the back. Beneath the body lie the chassis, engine and transmission from a Hummer H1. It has a 6.5-litre V8 diesel engine and a four speed automatic gearbox. The Warthog's top speed has been limited to 25 miles per hour (40km/h) and this was done for safety reasons. There are only two differences between the real life and digital versions of the Warthog. The digital Warthog has four wheel steering and this would be too costly for the company to incorporate it into the real life version. The real life version is also around twelve percent smaller than it would have been if the company had made it to a 1:1 scale. Despite this, the 7200lbs (3265kg) Warthog makes almost every other vehicle look small. The Warthog will make appearances at the Electronic Entertainment Expo and ComicCon later this year. Buyers with a huge bank account may possibly buy one as Aria Group is in talks with Microsoft to license the production of the Warthog. Image credit: David Undercoffler / Los Angeles Times

Airport worker jailed for causing grevious hurt to colleague By Elena Chong, Court Correspondent A FEMALE airport employee suffered serious brain injury after she fell off from a buggy at Changi Airport almost a year ago. On Monday, Ms Larina Ong Mei Yan's colleague at the time, Don Lim Hai Foong, 23, was jailed for nine months after he admitted to causing her grievous hurt by making an abrupt left turn while driving the buggy on March 26 last year. A district court heard that Ms Ong, 24, was at the rear right seat of the buggy with her back towards a woman colleague sitting next to Lim on the wheel when the accident happened at around 3.20am. The trio earlier had supper at Terminal 1. When they were near the transit area at Terminal 2, Lim jokingly said that he would knock the information counter and continued to drive towards it. But before reaching the counter, he made an abrupt left turn, causing Ms Ong to fall off from the buggy. She was admitted to Changi General Hospital where she was warded until April 18. Police prosecutor Raj Kishore Rai highlighted that the victim had a fall in March last year, and up to today, was still not working. He told District Judge Hamidah Ibrahim that according to the doctor, she would have to continue treatment at a specialist's clinic due to her severe brain injury. Lim, who is now in national service, could have been jailed for up to two years or fined up to $1,000 or both for causing grievous hurt by doing any act so rashly or negligently as to endanger life or the personal safety of others. http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2BNews/...24.html?vgnmr=1 cannot imagine this regan lee wannabe will do on the road. good grief to his passengers and other road users when he get a set of real wheels.
