Syclone & Typhoon articles from a Sport truck book

[Chrisssssssss]

Hey all,

My roommate picked up a book called:
Five View Series
Trucks & Off Road Vehicles
General Editor: Richard Gunn

In this book, it profiles many different cool sport and unique trucks and off road vehicles and low and behold both the Syclone and Typhoon get some pages. Quite a few actually, 8 in total - 4 for each truck. He wouldn't let me buy the book off him, but he did allow me to scan in the pages (which I did) and now would like to share them with you.

Enough with the blah, blah, blah - Here's the pics: (They will speak for themselves)

Cover Shot:

Syclone pg1

Syclone pg2

Syclone pg3

Syclone pg4

Now for the Typhoon's turn:
Typhoon pg1

Typhoon pg2

Typhoon pg3

Typhoon pg4

This last one is my Typhoon. Taken at Point Roberts Washington Lighthouse Park.

Just thought you guys may want to see these. I did the best I could in terms of scanning it in. However it was a hardcover book and you know how the pages are to scan out of a hardcover, especially when the pics span across a 2 page spread across the spine of the book. Hope you enjoy. These are scanned in at a master resolution of 600dpi and reduced to 150 dpi for file size purposes.

Cheers

Chris

LOL at 0-60 in 5 seconds ... 0-100 in 18 seconds. That shows what bricks these trucks are.

The last 40mph takes 13 seconds HAHAH ---

You can buy those pages off of Ebay as separate 3 ring binder pages. They are pretty cool. I also have a book that has the Sy and Ty covered in it and it is called American Cars: The Automobiles That Made America by Craig Cheetham the same author of that truck book you posted. If you follow that link you can buy a used copy of it for 1.99:tup:

Those 0-100 times are way off. Stock 1/4 miles times are trapping at 100mph, so it should be closer to low 13's.

I thought I would post these scans here so that anyone could DL them and have a copy for themselves. I scanned the master at 600dpi, but have not at this point tried to print them on some nice paper yet, so I don't know how they will turn out after that. I may also try and photoshop them so that I can stitch the pages together and eliminate the evidence of the seam.

If I do that I will post back on how it worked out.

Cheers
