Ever feel as if you need more suspension travel? Say, your roads are rough, or you just want to climb stuff? Take a look at the suspension setup on the HST Gordini, the race truck Robby Gordon custom-built for the car category at Dakar. Here's Robby's celebration after the final stage of Dakar.

Let's make a list of things that can probably fit under Gordon's raised wheel:

Your adorable nieceA goatA rottweilerMedium-sized shrubberiesOne of those concrete traffic barriersTwelve chinchillas, stacked verticallyYour couchThe hood of a MiataAt least two or three HST Gordini wheels laid on top of each otherEight gallons of Blue Bell Ice CreamHalf of a 944 torque tube, laid verticallyA small ornamental water fountain104 back-issues of Motor BallsThe Borg-Warner Trophy

If you haven't noticed by now, rally raid cars need a lot more suspension travel to deal with harsh, unpredictable terrain than most other race cars.

(Yes, it's a truck, but Dakar calls it a car because, well, )

Congratulations, Robby Gordon!
