I like how this Vehicle went from Ute to train.

I've managed to record a few vehicles doing the transitions recently including a weed sprayer and a big truck. All will eventually be added to youtube.

I want one so that I can travel along the disused railways!

[@vincentweatherly9991]

Most of the disused are torn up

@@vincentweatherly9991 Older Street View images from the late 2000s show that they're still there. And haven't changed with the times since then. 😖

And what is that snorkel-like thing that Toyota land cruisers have are called? I know they’re not snorkels but I just wanted to know what it’s called, that’s all.

[@PoathTV]

it is indeed called a snorkel as that's its function
