I had an article from a London paper with a picture of the monster Power Wagon. It had off-road giant truck tires that were at least a couple meters diameter. The engine was some huge diesel. The thing was 4 times actual size and is a motor home, with the works. The bed was covered to house some of the rooms. I can't seem to locate the photo. If I do sometime, I'll scan it and post it for your awe and amusement. The story was that the sheiks revere the Power Wagon as responsible in part for their wealth. It was the only vehicle capable of exploring for oil deep in the deserts in the 40s and 50s. Probably still is!
