it'll be the only truly dumb part of the movie. It would take a year to rebuild that car after the rol lover it went through.

There has been a few tv-shows where teams had to build vehicles using stuff they found at a junkyard. You'd be amazed what some of these people could cobble together in a few days, so it's plausible. But i agree, you'd expect a car that rolled over too still look a bit crumpled after quick rebuild, whereas the silver car looks pretty good.

I've seen the shows. But over 4 days and then on to a chase? Then they either had or fabricated a new front valance the car didn't have pre-accident?

Sounds a bit iffy, yeah I know. But given that the guys at the Citadel are absolute car freaks, literally worshipping cars and mechanical stuff like religion it suddenly starts to make some sense. And they made it silver to top it all off cause 'chrome' is pwetty to them lol

No, because it doesn't have to be explained. It's a reboot therefore not a continuation of the original trilogy.

I don't mean explained within the continuity. I mean whether George Miller will explain his logic behind making this change.

Ah, in that sense...

I guess every explaination is as good as any. Maybe he found just one tank. Maybe the other one fell out. Maybe he needed more space for his stuff in the back.

The impracticality of the dual tanks has been discussed on the forum years ago. The modifications to the suspension that would be required to handle the weight of the full fuel tanks would be exstensive. As much as I love it, it would be unrealistic. This version of Max's Interceptor feels more cobbled together and less designed than the original. Also Tom doesn't look like Mel so it's fitting the car "actor" looks different.
I don't think the chrome interceptor is Max's. The mechanic in MM2 spoke of "the last of the V8 Interceptors", inferring that there are others of that recognizable design. If so they would be treasured by this motor cult and preserved.

A member of this forum going by the username "furystunts" provided us with the videos. He'd been unable to upload them for some reason, however, so he sent them to me, and they now live on my YouTube channel:

All credit goes to furystunts, mind you.

Awesome, cheers to both of you.
Probably going over old ground here but is the new BoB an automatic and is that a replica Max Rob steering wheel? It matches the grainy pic of the one in the poster.

yes its an auto because apparently Hardy can't drive a stick from what I heard....
