We Drove The Warthog!
WORDS BY: Alistair Wallis
I don't have a driver's license. That was my first thought when OXM suggested shipping me off to New Zealand to get behind the wheel of a full-size working replica of Halo’s Warthog, built by Peter Jackson’s Weta Workshop. It’s a really big four-wheel-drive monster with a whopping machine gun on top. And there’s only one of them roaring around on the face of the planet. “I don’t have a license,” I thought. “I can’t drive an automatic, let alone a manual. This is all going to end badly. Oh god.”
Of course, all that was followed pretty quickly by “You mean…I’m actually going to get to drive the Warthog?” And that, in turn, was pretty quickly followed by a grasping of my hand over my mouth, some impressively loud swearing, and the hugging of a cat. There’s really only so long you can actually remain boringly pragmatic when faced with an offer to live out the ultimate fantasy of Halo fans everywhere.
“And really,” I reasoned, “what’s the worst that could happen?” Actually, I already knew the answer to that one, thanks to a YouTube video of Bungie producer Curtis Creamer putting the same vehicle into a wall during Bungie’s trip to New Zealand. I immediately resolved not to follow that little example. I may not be able to drive, but I’m paranoid enough to give walls a very, very wide berth.

I don't want to be 'that guy' but i gotta say something...
Page 3... It may have been an early-build pic, but the only thing turning that front differential is hopes and dreams, this thing is Rear-wheel-drive only... unless they make invisible drive shafts, or they have some crazy 90ยบ angle-splitting off-double CV joint kinda thing going on...
now, make it 4WD and i'll take two, LOL

That's freakin' awesome man! I remember reading this awhile ago, and I wanted to drive it so badly. It's so nostalgic for a true fan to drive that. If only the gun was real, you could bring it out to the range and blow off some steam.
