Badass Dragons of the Wasteland - Round 1

[drman321]

I don’t know if you boys have worked out a plan for Riverside yet but I am heading in that way and if you can use another mechanic to keep everything up and running I wouldn’t mind throwing in with you boys.

Now I’ve been thinking, if rednecks is what we got ahead of us that is good and it is bad. I’ve worked with a lot of hill folk come up from down South on the line. I imagine these Cali rednecks aren’t much different. See folks underestimate rednecks. Sure they’re simple, but they’re crafty too. Our best bet is the element of surprise. Hit them at night so they don’t know we are coming until we are already blowing through.

The other thing about rednecks is (how do I put this) they aren’t tough to motivate. Two things will draw every one of these slackjaws in a 10 mile radius, moonshine and meth. I can get my hands on some moonshine, that might be enough. If you boys can find the other, well that is your business but it helps. If we send a scout or two out a few miles off our route and dump a bunch of goodies, the word will get out quick and we may draw a little less heat passing through while they are otherwise preoccupied. We just gotta make sure we are gone by the time the party favors are used up. You don’t want to mess with a drunk methed out redneck especially one behind the wheel of a monster truck.

Sure as shit we got a plan. Let me send over the summary via the CB-fax.

Besides you, we gots

• one escort (Channing @gwwar)
• one mechanic (Clank @davide405)
• and one beer

[drman321]

Looks good. We wrangle us up a scout and we got a full team here.

Also please take this the way it is intended, you got a purty mouth.

[Donald_Petersen]

@drman321

you got a purty mouth.

Be a shame if something happened to it.

Heh heh heh.

[drman321]

Watch it there buddy. He isn’t driving Detroit but he is driving American. That is good enough for me to have his back.

[gwwar]

@drman321

Call me Jack, Jack Knife, or just Knife is fine.

Jack Knife? How’d you trick a mule into doing that?

[anon73629133]

[drman321]

Just gave him a little nudge. I told you guys I could get my hands on some moonshine. How did you think I was planning on getting it? Buying it? Road law, if you drive them off the road you get to keep whats in the back. I thought everyone knew that.

Hi, folks; Washington here. I’ve been doing an awful lot of driving around, and over time, I’ve ran across some old pictures that looks just like the things you all are driving. Anyhow, I thought I’d post 'em up here, since I thought it’d be nice if you all knew what each other is driving. Here goes:

Here’s a 1975 Freightliner FLC-120, just like what “Junior” Burton (@funruly) is driving:

A 1969 Iso Grifo, like Sir De’Ath (@daneel) has:

1967 Dodge A100 van, like Clank’s (@davide405):

Desmond Baltar (@SteampunkBanana) has a '65 Shelby Cobra, like this one:

Bubba Zanetti (@bizmail_public) has got a '66 Lotus Elan 26R like this one:

The Major, (@peregrinus_bis) is driving this old bird, a 1971 Land Rover Series IIA, the Pink Panther:

Rip Torn Van Winkle (@jlw) has got a 1955 Porsche Speedster, kinda like this one:

Sponge (@blckjckdavey) is driving an '82 Chevy Monte Carlo, like this one:

Channing Hunter (@gwwar) drives a 1988 Toyota Hilux, like this one:

Nervous Snelvuur has a 1970 Firebird, lots like this one:

Knife is driving a 1968 Chrysler Imperial, like this boat:

Bean has got a '73 Gremlin like this one:

“Gentleman” Brassers has got a '28 Studebaker GB Commander just like this one:

Momo is driving a 1972 Chevy Imperial like this one:

That’s all that I got for the players’ cars right now. There were issues with a couple of the submissions, so if you don’t see your car in the list, you’ll be getting a PM from me to clear up my questions.

Anyhow. Just thought I’d stop by and fill you in on all that. Now I’m gonna head out there again and do a little exploring. I’m new to the area, you see, so I’m going to go and make friends with some of the cannibalistic hillbilly zombies or something.

[JonasEggeater]

Well, I could only mention 10 people in that post, so just so you all notice:

@Kingannoy
@drman321
@beanbreath
@sarcadian
@patrace

We’ll be heading up from San Diego way. ~Dorcas McG

[patrace]

Momo here sweetie. I’ll be rolling up from San Diego.

I made some of those cookies you like.

[drman321]

I’m coming in from Riverside Momo but between your 72 and my 68 we ought to be just fine busting on through whatever is dumb enough to get in our way. See you at the beach Momo.

[JonasEggeater]

Dorcas (@awjt) just posted his own picture, and here’s Anna’s (@agfish) choice:

Jacky (@Mister44) decided to go with a 1977 Unimog 404, like this one:

Molly Malone (@kyntha), has got a 1970 Ford Mustang Twister, like this one. No, wait, uh, Honey Malone. Sorry about that. Anyhow, her car looks like this one:

Now, we’ve got “The Swedish Chief” (@tetrix), who decided to go with a '69 Volvo P1800, just like my old aunt used to have:

Now isn’t that a pretty little bird? Dang. Then we also got Morton here (@william_holz), who drives something made of a little bit of everything. From what I remember, it looked something like this:

Goodness knows where all those parts came from. Anyhow, I could be rememberin’ wrong, so Morton (@william_holz), if I’m mistaken, and you have a picture, just send it to me, and I’ll replace this one.

Then, as you know, there’s Blazer (don’t worry, he doesn’t really have that bumper sticker):

And Cougar:

And Jane, in her '69 Subaru Young, much like this one:

And, well, I told you already that I drive a 1970 Bond Bug, but you bastards probably weren’t listening. Anyways, mine’s been converted to having four wheels, like this one:

'Cept, mine’s a hell of a lot prettier than that one. Lime green, with a big black lightning bolt down the one side. And, of course, mine’s all suped up. It’s got a lot of balls under the hood.

Dang, I think I’ll try to never use that particular expression again.

[daneel]

@JonasEggeater

A 1969 Iso Grifo, like Sir De’Ath (@daneel) has

And it goes a little something like this…(or it would, if YouTube videos ever showed up properly).

There’s been some confusion over the TSSC Prototype. Here’s the real TSSC:

Mine is the prototype… We built the prototype TSSC in my garage with what we had at hand before the team bought two Rolls Royce engines and a case of black spraypaint cans. The prototype is a real grocery-getter. Unfortunately the real TSSC punches a hole in the grocery store and there’s nowhere to put the milk.

[peregrinus_bis]

Thought it might be useful to know a little about the Pinkie, just in case anyone needs to take it over, eh?

Good little instructional film here:

“avoid such disasters as these embarassing results of poor driving technique”, “The Land Rover immobilised is a moral defeat for the driver”, “always … plan your attack. It’s up to you to do justice to your Land Rover”. All to a jolly flutey backing tune - lovely stuff.

[davide405]

((ooc: I personally owned a '75 Gremlin.))

[Donald_Petersen]

@blckjckdavey

Fixed that for ya.
