    I thought the same thing Dave....

    What about oil starvation with the engine?

    Didn't look like the driver was doing much steering.

    exact thing I thought about. Must be an inline 6 or something that will still have oil feed capabilities.

    Come on guys, don't let them Saudis beat you - who was the American who built a tank of a car whose tires could be changed while driving? - plus it towed a fuel tank trailer behind to keep running long distances - and I think it could change the engine oil while driving too.

    1950s, based on a Caddy, maybe?

    If I remember rightly, it had some, ahem, facilities on board as well, as the car could last much longer than the drivers could....
