In the 1990s, Seikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates decided to build a giant pickup truck. The result was a truck modeled on the 1950s era Dodge Power Wagon (apparently an iconic vehicle in his country) precisely 64 times larger than the original. It contains a full suite of rooms and can actually drive. The video clip above is from Jeremy Clarkson’s BBC documentary series Motorworld.

    Fun stuff – but an odd way to define “64 times bigger”. To most people that’d probably mean 64 times the height -which it clearly isn’t.

    I presume it’s 4 times the height which would make it 64 times the volume.

    The is just an extreme example of model building, a hobby shared by millions of people around the world.
