FM-420 Hydroblaster news - Master ’Blaster - 2008

Published: 22 Aug 2008

It's big, it's boxy, and it's Swedish. It can only be a Volvo. Forget your flat-pack wardrobe laden V70s, though - this is way cooler.

The FM-420 Hydroblaster drives four of its eight wheels, making it an 8x4, which sounds so much more impressive than one of those poxy 4x4s. And it weighs, well, a lot. Youll be looking at gallons per mile rather than miles per gallon, we'd presume.

So what does it do? Well, it has a 40,000psi jet stream attachment, which can spray the paint from tarmac using plain old water, leaving no damage to the road.

Keep those sneaky double yellow line plans to yourself.

It can remove strips of rubber from runways as well - might be worth getting one to clean up after the Stig's power laps.

As a riot vehicle it would be most excellent, too. And would you ever get bored of telling people you drove a Hydroblaster? Thought not.

We think it's awesome. Is it too early to start writing to Santa?
