Adrian Bennett has been obsessed with the Mad Max movies since 1982 when he was a teenager in England. In 2001 he built his own Interceptor, the car Mel Gibson drove in the film. Three years ago, he moved his family from Yorkshire to Australia. Now he has settled in the remote Outback town of Silverton, where the first two movies were made. Silverton has a population of 51 (counting the five Bennetts), but draws 140,000 tourists a year and is also used often as a set for the film industry. Bennett plans to open a Mad Max museum in his new hometown. Link -via Dark Roasted Blend

Don’t Panic TV has a clip of "Larry" (actually LRRY-1), a fire-breathing robo-dog, like it’s straight out of Mad Max, roaming the streets of London. The contraption is built by Lyle of the Mutoid Waste Company. Link
