I saw this moke at the annual Melbourne mini show a few years ago.

Its main features where two pods hanging out the front grill and a nice shinny roll cage presumably stainless.

Does anyone have any pictures of this beast, or can at least confirm its existence and that I didnt dream it.

I know the one. Black, crossflow head with Weber's as far as I remember. I had seen it before, but last time it didn't have whatever was hanging out the front (it just had air cleaners). I can't remember exactly what was hanging off the front at Mini Show, but I do remember them being quite useless??

Looks to be the one, seems to have driving lights now and I could have sworn the plates said smoked, but it may have been a show thing,

Any other pics around?

And lol at the electric superchargers.

I tried to ask the owner a few questions about it when it was at minis down under. He basically said he didn't know much about the specs. In my opinion, it is highly unlikely that the owner would know little about it, he probably just didn't want to talk to me.

The guy that built it was at penrith show years ago and could tell you evertying from the size of the bolts holding in the roll cage to the colour of the spark plug leads.

Potentially the "i know nar-tting" new owner perhaps doesnt know anything... :lol:

one HAWWWWWT moke though

Unless it was electris ducted fan(EDF) from a model plane, i had one that pulled 50amp and about 50,000 rpm. you couldnt even hold onto the plane at full throttle..... if i had a PSI gauge on it it probally would of been around 20psi....or more ;-)

Don't get any ideas guys! EDF's tend to shatter if the are bang'd around, like under a bonnet and every day driving. hot melted plastic stuck to the valves. :-S
