Thread: The Army 6x6 V8 Perentie

Defence Magazine

About $0.01 per every australian tax payer

you'd be on the money.

looks like a wide bodied perentie.

super charged intercooled V8

custom transfercase

and all that bling

Its Armygeddon

And looks completely different each year, first it was that dark green, then it was a desert cam last year, this year it was a snow/black kinda cam.

Done by army apprentices, and goes to shows as a recruitment thing. Does awesome burnouts apparantly, but each summernats its been to (3) it gets on the donut pad, fires up its rear four tyres and does a diff about 15 seconds into it.

total budget thus far is approaching 1.8 million dollars.

was a perentie 6x6, now mostly nissan crap and bling all thats rover is about 3 foot of the chassis, the steering box and the body.

I went for a bit of a look around Summernats on the weekend. Here are a couple of pictures of "Armygeddon" in its latest paint scheme

And I noticed that there was a RR Sport (Black) NSW Rego visiting the stand for part of Sunday. Didnt get close enough to recognise the vehicle or driver, must have been some 'brass' though involved with the display.
AND
found this link on Outers... burn out in a LandRover!

i had a quick look at some pics of the replacement burnout car that is being built at apprentice school (or what ever its called these days)

yep it appears armygeddon is being retired.......keep your eye on the auction sites

the new car is an old falcon, dunno what model but its in its early stages of build up....the rear doors have been converted to suicide doors and the motor is being built, well it was attached to an engine stand in the pic i viewed, other than that i cannot tell you much more

will try and get the pics next week
