There's something about grown men spending thousands of Euros on big toys that's so… awesome. No, you can't drive them on the road, but the wife won't want them in a divorce and we'll give you five stars for coolness factor.
This next hobby video probably comes from Germany, since the Youtube channel it's on is usually dedicated to Nurburgring activities.

There are a lot of version of tis MAN track as an RC, but this on is a container truck, an 8x8 workhorse. What's cool about it is that it has hydraulic systems which can lift the the container .

Such a system really does exist out in the wild and it's called a "Hooklifter". Check it out and tell us what you think.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
