Wolverhampton-based manufacturers Stoic Autos have created an effective workhorse in the Oxbox. It is too lightly armed and armoured for a serious duel, but with passengers firing hand weapons, it can put up a fair fight. The heavy-duty transmission means that even a fully-laden Oxbox can tow a 3-ton vehicle. Expect to see one of these pickups trailing nearly every cycle gang in the country.
Oxbox: Pickup, heavy chassis, improved suspension, large power plant with superconductors, 6 HD tyres, driver, 2 passengers, MG front, SS back, HD transmission, towbar, toolkit. Armour: F20, B20, L20, R20, T5, U15. Accel. 5, top speed 80, HC 1. 5,390 lbs., $11,950.
Cargo capacity: 1,720 lbs., 9 spaces.
Towing capacity: 7,770 lbs. when empty, 6,050 lbs. when fully laden.
Lupine
An unashamed duelling vehicle, the Lupine combines the offensive power
of two Vulcans with a premium range of safety features and over a ton
of armour. The core market for this Ironbridge classic is the suburban
elite, who relish its image of power and high driver position.
Lupine: Pickup, extra-heavy
chassis, heavy suspension, super power plant, 6 solid radial tyres, driver,
turreted VMG smart-linked to VMG front, GS back loaded with paint, ice
dischargers linked to bumper triggers L and R, bumper triggers to VMG
and to GS, ABS, ejection seat, HD brakes, HD shocks, overdrive, targeting
computer. Armour: F40, B40, L35, R35, T30, U20, 4 10-point wheelguards,
4 10-point wheelhubs. Accel. 5, top speed 90, HC 2. 7,720 lbs., $33,000.
