If the plot is consistent with the the timeline of the previous films and considering the fact that locations were being considered in Morocco and the Namib Desert it would suggest the absence of any asphalt/tarmac/blacktop with the unlikely presence of a Ford Falcon or any vehicle of that caliber.
Detritus,
''Deadend Drive-in'' will be available this summer on R1 dvd from Anchor bay.

Ideas for Maxs' ride:
Retro-Interceptor (BoB) Another unit in the MFP.
How about a modified race car? Something left hidden at say Mount Panorama? 5.7L V-8 with the plating and tanks?
Just speculation at what I'd like to see...
As far as the EM-Pulse, Australia has never had her shores invaded militarily, so the two great warrior tribes they are referring to, might be the US and the USSRn't, which might have limited the damage to the northern hemisphere...leaving OZ pretty-much untouched. I'd imagine that refugees might have tried to immigrate to OZ, and supplies would have gotten short, but anything is plausible. After all, the story was written in the time of the cold war.

That nice little shot at the end of Thunderdome shows a very dry Sydney harber and the demolished bridge. Plus all the damage to the buildings. It may have been an anomalous hit, but something bad happened to Sydney.
Uncle-
Try to find a movie called 'Solarcrisis'. I think you (and everyone that wants to see Max on a bike) will like Jack Palance's character and his G.I. Joe-d Yamaha FJ 1100 with sidecar. It is cool. The segments involving Palance's ex-military desert rat character are the best thing about the movie.

Ok well here are my ideas on the subject.First you will need a little history so my thoughts make more sense.Max is being chased on foot or in that leftover big tire truck vehicle.Slips over a cliff edge and slides down into a huge crater.As hes falling he grabs onto a ledge which stops hes slide.It turns out to be a tunnellinto a abandoned and half destoryed military base.on closer inspection he finds a large motor pool of mili vehs. All damaged in some way.So its time to put somthig together .Im thinking a threeaxle hummer(I know there over used in a lot of movies) or a mili,truck(dodge Ram dual axle or ford dual axle)The hummer would have a small dozer blade mounted on front with a chunkcut out ,replaced with heavy grating.I made a pic if anybody intersted.Also the mili,truck would have two supercharged v-8 in the bed and under the hood 300gal tank.I just hope G.M.doesnt use those'fast furios types"maybe the BLK charger.Also the hummer could be replaced with a Unimoog mili.veh(I dont know there are mili hummer in OZ)I really wish to see a BL on BL Falcon or cobra

Ok
And here is my second theory.Max stumbles on a small village and it turns out that small huts are built on plate steel.Max digs around and lo behold the huts are in and on top of a huge Cat dump truck(These things are huge the rims are 63 inch tall themselves)And its buried all they way up turns out to be a old minning site.I know there are alot of these in Australia.So he gets the villagers to help dig down to the cab,Fires it up and out it comes.Now just a little history on these They haul 360 tons at 40 mph the 24 cyd motor makes 3,400 hp.then Max gets some help and welds on a blade from a Cat D11 (16 ft wide and 8ft tall)on the front imagine Max for the end of the movie blasting and crushing all the evil riceburners as he save the villages in this massive land battleship.then when hes done gets out and gets in his Falcon and drives away.
My other idea for a vehicle is a dual car\truck the car section can detatch from the back when stopped of course..It would have 6 to 8 wheels and big push bars.Then there could be a combo car hover craft ,No forget that one it sucks. I Just got to have super chargers and sidepipes.
And if anybody interested I have sketches of all of my ideas and would gladly e-mail them

I want to see a big, flat black, armour-plated, weapon bristled, 600 horse twin-turbo CAT, 13 speed 2-stick, 160ft long, MACK Titan B-triple Road Train thundering down the center of the road in the Outback like a rocket on rails, goin' for broke, slamming, crushing and mauling everything and anybody in his way. OHohOHOHOH!

Granted it was cool, and so was the MACK tanker, but what I'm thinking would make battletruck look like a hotshot pulling a pup trailer. Think about this...96 plus tires, 6 trailers, the rolling weight and the enertia of an old time steam locomotive (500,000 pounds) except this time it rolls through everything, and not on it's side or off a cliff. You're in OZ, you know how awesome a road train is and how many have tried to set world records...now just imagine it with the Max treatment....drooool. lol. I must put this idea down on paper...or better yet, build a model...
