Flash Gordon's Motorhome

[Kahuna]

Just came across this and thought I would share. I haven't made up my mind about the looks of the thing but somebody sure put a lot of time and effort into this.

Looks like a toaster on wheels!

I checked out their website. What a hoot. Not so sure about that upstairs driving position, reminds me of Mr. Bean's Mini. But I'll sign up to buy one as soon as they're rolling off the assembly line.

This other one from that site is pretty nice.

Fabulous stuff! I do love a bit of Flash Gordon.

Thanks DR

Uh, what's the steering wheel doing on the second story? Is that for the co-pilot?

I'd say it was more likely to be for summer driving.

It seems to be that 'retro punk' (steampunk?) craze. Where's the toaster setting on the side...?

Can't you just see a bunch G-men piling out of the motorhome to arrest a ganster. All in period dress of course.

I just came across this video and thought I would update the thread. It's interesting to hear all the thought that went into this thing. Totally hand-built, it's way out of my price range. But one can dream, can't one?

The Decopods are pretty cool as well. check out the helmets that go with them.

I remember Barry Weiss driving it on an episode of Storage Wars. It's cool, but maybe it's a sign that the owner has way too much spare cash.

Now, if he would just give that treatment to a Can-Am Spyder!
