That specific episode of "MM" is terrrrrrrrific.

But, they didn't show anything like the photo at the top of the thread!!!!

My other favorite show is a Mega Movers episode where they showed a crane truck, 8 steerable axles, able to handle a fairly tight serpentine road, that could lift some ungodly weight to some ungodly height. Maybe 400tons to 500 feet? It was simply amazing. great show!

The factory waddles through the countryside dispersing B.A.T.'s (via the drop-scoops)

Oh, great! Now we have to look for #3 IN THE WOODS OF KENTUCKY!
