Well you can see it on the 18th and thereafter if you look up....
1600 km/h launch speed
When in orbit and attached to the ISS 7.7km a second
The big red tank is the fuel tank! And you thought those pesky V8 bills were bad!!!

Only downer is needs a rather large tow vehicle before getting out to play!!

The Dakar is now almost a pure speed event now, and they are as close to Pajero's as a Falcon is to a V8 Supercar. i.e. they have the company name on the side of the vehicle!;)

I'll challange that..

lets see how fast any pajero can complete the dakar run then lets see how long it takes the disco to do it...

Personally Id love to get out there, during the day before launch and spray paint the land rover logo on it.

Land Rover won it in the 70's and have decieded that they have been there and done it and have nothing to prove.

And besides the Wildcat/Tomcat would be my prefered choice for an offroad beast... but that Rangy would make a great daily driver for around town :twisted:
