Heavens to Mercatroid, looks like a death star, maybe the Martian van should have a hitch like that

I don't know what it is called, well apart from a few names I can't put here, but think you will find it to be a 40's design that was made illegal in the 50's, at least in NSW.

Bizzare coupling alright. Definately wouldn't wanna shear that pin off while taking a hard right hander....

Actually I'm more worried about the location, obviously the local kangaroo's mingle a bit too much with the local gorillaz
