Incredible Toyota Land Cruiser Collection Photos

I believe these photos are from a photo shoot that Toyota did when they introduced the Toyota FJ Cruiser in 2008. I am not sure if all the Toyota Land Cruisers are owned by the same person, but regardless, it is an awesome collection! Via Toyota Off Road.com

Steve McQueen And His Meyers Manx Dune Buggy From The Thomas Crown Affair Movie

Let’s just admit it. Steve McQueen is a guys guy. There is very few men in his caliber of coolness. He had the beautiful women. Hell, I am not to proud to admit that he was a damn good looking guy. He could race anything with two or four wheels. He had it all! Check out the video below of McQueen and Faye Dunaway blasting through the sand dunes in the movie “The Thomas Crown Affair”. As Steve McQueen states in the video, “Crown lives at the beach, and he has a sand Dune Buggy. I helped them design it, so I’m kind of proud of that. What it is, it’s set on a Volkswagen chassis, with great old wide weenies – big wide tires on it with mag wheels. Corvair engine stuffed in the back, and a semi reclining position, somewhat like my formula 1 car. It’s very light, you know, I think we are around about 230 horses, and the vehicle weighs about 1000 pounds.”
