When the Official XBOX Mag decided to send one of thier guys to New Zealand to ride around in the one off Warthog reproduction from the scrapped Peter Jackson Halo film, he could hardly belive it. This thing looks pretty wicked, I can hardly get over how much the details and the paint scheme look almost rendered. It is quite an amazing piece of art. I really like the shot below you can see some of the amazing detail work.weta_alistairdrives7So unless this movie is actually made someday this thing is likely to just hang around as a showpiece. Shame, because it is one bad-ass vehicle.

a del Sol? Oh, man, Vader and his cohorts roll in sweet rides and this is what the republic gets. Oh well. What are you gonna do. I can say this thing has a lot of man hours and just goes to show how resourceful those rebels can be.

It doesnt get much more evil than an Ariel Atom, so what righteous vehicle would a Jedi travel in?

This pic was also featured on jalopnik.com yesterday, which led me to find this picture as well. A storm trooper in an Elise. The dark side has some serious rides.stormtrooperdarth-vader_ariel-atom

It would appear that these images are making the rounds on the web, and here is some resulting funny business.
