I… I must have one!

While the photograph above doesn’t look like all that much to write home about, I simply insist that you pop over to the Mondo Spider Project page and take a look at the .avi video of the spider in question – a giant mechanical RIDABLE form of spider-themed transport!

While the page is a little short on descriptive overviews, it seems to be created by Industrialus Design (of Mr J Tippett) who are engineering consultants and fabricators of what seems to be a very high caliber. Created for Burning Man events, I can only hope that work continues apace on this mechanical spider vehicle (I am reminded of Wild Wild West) and Steampunk fans such as myself can one day look forward to retiring with a two-seater spider in the garage. Many many thanks, Mr ClymAngus!
