Attention anorak army! I thought you might like to know that last night we passed something of a milestone on Biglorryblog with regard to reader feedback. We now have over 9,000 comments posted up from readers on BLB which is not bad going seeing that I only moved over to the current BLB blogging platform in July 2008. Add to that all the comments we previously generated on the old website and I reckon we're easily over the 10K mark in terms of comments posted to BLB. So as ever my sincere thanks to all the people who not only follow Biglorryblog (where HGV meets OCD!) and submit excellent material - but above all else take the time to respond to the posts and send in comments (even if they do only want to know all the names of Eddie Stobart trucks! Which,incidentally I don't have!) And thanks too to all those who enter my pie quizzes with such good spirits. And here's another one... What's this weird beast?
This is one of Luigi Colani's Mercedes conversions. I first saw one in TNT colours at SITL 2006 in Paris - gobsmacking. If only all trucks could look like this!
This is one of the Collani conversions based on a Mercedes Benz. There were others based on different makes of truck but I can't remember what they were.
It's a show vehicle for German tech firm TechniSat. Designed by Luigi Colani around 1997. Note the three-pointed star rotary windshield wiper.
its a truck based on a mercedes by a designer called Luigi Colani. for a few differant pics go to http://www.hemmy.net and scroll through.

hi ,
It's one of the Colani trucks, the question was also easy as pie :)

Ah, would that be the Colani Mercedes?
This is the Colani Mercedes, isn't it? But am I right in believing that more than one was built, and that this isn't the first one?
There are a bunch of photos of a DAF-based one in this flickr set, including several interior cab shots:
