Well, color me wrong. Unless they used a fake fire and a smoke bomb.

Knowing Top Gear, this is most likely the case.

Production hyperbole aside, I love Top Gear.

[–]fruitbaticus 1 point2 points ago

That actually does look quite like it's lit.

[–]orthag 0 points1 point ago

They can make a fake fire look very real quite easily.

If they're going to not have proper car seats, health & safety isn't going to have a problem with a fire. Pretty sure it's real.

Seen that in the 20min, funny to see it breaks through Reddit ;). Those people in Zürich are crazy, but I can understand him with all the snow an ice we got lately, that's a good option.

I saw this mail truck with a similar setup at a car show. It was used to deliver mail in North Dakota winters in the 30s and 40s.

I had a second cousin that had a ranch in nowhere Montana. Back before I was born he had a van with a wood burning stove in the back. It had a heater, but when the temperature gets to -30 or so, that just don't cut it. He also had a second door that led to the roof to make it easier to dig the front door out when it got buried in snow.

[–]WisconsinPlatt 0 points1 point ago

a ranch in nowhere Montana.

[–]I_Will_Allow_This 2 points3 points ago

I came to ask here about the haircut. What is it called and why would someone want something like that?

[–]Captainpanda55 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's unusual, it doesn't make me feel any kind of horror at what is before my eyes.

Yes. Tentacles are clearly what I'm searching for. I know the usual defence on the internet is go for a massive, baseless accusation on the complete other end of the spectrum but come on.

[–]gliscameria 1 point2 points ago

Hey man, we've all been on a tentacle bender once or twice. There's no shame in it.

What strange reality do you live in where a woodburning stove in an SUV doesn't make you say WTF?

[–]weeaboot 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Might be a wood gas car? - seen those before

[–]Atlai 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

They usually burn on the outside, right?

[–]weeaboot 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'd guess so - only really seen one in action at a car show, but from what I could gather you wouldn't want one sitting next to you in the cab simply because of the amount of heat the thing would generate. If you're in cold climates it might be a bonus though.

[–]Braddigan 1 point2 points ago

[–]using_my_alias 0 points1 point ago

I'd hate to see what would happen if he flipped that SUV. I could just see that door flying open and... Well, now I don't want to think about it...

This is just preparing us for the [FIXED] version we'll find in a few days when he gets into an accident and his head somehow gets wedged in the stove and he burns to death.

I actually thought of doing this to my old van. I had plans on putting a desk in it along with all the things I needed to run it like a small office for school. I thought this would be a great idea because then I wouldn't have to come home in between classes and get drunk.

I never did it. I flunked out.

I had a great time though
