Even today, I think sometimes that a producer -- using the production design for the subshuttle -- should resurrect the format of Planet Earth. I'd love to see it.<br /><br />The Landmaster is my favorite of these, but I think the Ark II is next. Though, I suspect, it would be hell to drive. It's frigging huge!<br /><br />best,<br />JohnJohn Kenneth Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629979615332893780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-14055356911279570292012-05-19T15:20:01.047-04:002012-05-19T15:20:01.047-04:00Chadillac,

I would love to take that vehicle out for a spin, assuming no giant cockroaches on the loose.<br /><br />She's a beauty all right...and reason enough to watch Damnation Alley again, indeed.<br /><br />best,<br />JohnJohn Kenneth Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629979615332893780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-86590222625330420322012-05-19T15:02:06.399-04:002012-05-19T15:02:06.399-04:00John you got them all!

To complete the '70s era, I would even include the subterranean NASA Subshuttle system of GENESIS II(1973) and PLANET EARTH(1974).<br /><br />SGBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-83686094378025702882012-05-19T14:47:34.809-04:002012-05-19T14:47:34.809-04:00All are sweet rides, but nothing is ever going to ...All are sweet rides, but nothing is ever going to top the Landmaster.
