    That seems to be ROR stuff, old mods for an old game.

    These are some of his old cars from Rigs of Rods. He has stated on multiple occasions that he hates them. Other users on the forum can confirm this.

    I don't know why Gabester doesn't like them. They are old, but with some modernization and bringing them up to date, they would be great additions for BeamNG. Kinda like how I said I would bring back the Gavril Omega as a variant of the 2014 Roamer, and it would be similar to trucks like the Chevrolet Avalanche and the Cadillac Escalade EXT.

    IIRC he mostly dislikes his older, more basic cars. Like when someone ported the Bandit to Beam he wasn't a fan of it. And, OP, it says 2011 in the pics.

    I never knew of RoR until BeamNG. That being said some of these designs from back in the day look pretty damn cool from my perspective.
    The fact that there were planned Gavril performance vehicles is even more enticing. Definitely cool and I hope the idea re-manifests itself
    in the future.

    In a way, old ideas have resurfaced. Well, in the words of Obi-Wan Kenobi, "from a certain point of view." Think you can guess?


    Yup, the Gavril Barstow. . . . or should I say. . . . Gavril Bandit 2.0.
    In a way, I see the Barstow as is a reincarnated version of the Gavril Bandit. Both are very similar. They both have a fastback design, they have four round headlights (with the Barstow having the option for Charger style hidden headlights), and their model names start with a B. Coincidence? I think not.

    I think the Barstow is an open door for how Gabester could take his old ideas that he dislikes and breathe new life into them, changing them from a dirty lump of coal into a priceless sparkling diamond. I understand the idea of not liking old stuff. I have old ideas don't like myself, but I have come up with ways in the past to revise some of them, making me actually like them again, maybe even more so than I did before.

    Bandit is actually one or two size bigger than Barstow
    As I mentioned before, maybe 80s Burnside and Gavril G2 will most likely to be in BNG if gabe likes to since there aren't simulation about these 2 periods and kinds of vehicle in BNG yet

    I think in some regards, the Barstow can in some ways be seen as something similar to the Bandit. They may not be the same size, but they have similar design layouts and a similar name. They're not exactly alike, but they're not entirely different.

    My idea of the Gavril Omega 2.0, a revision for an old RoR vehicle, would on the same boat, being not exactly the same, but not completely different. Besides, in my opinion, I think the end of the Omega could easily be the front end of a 2014 Roamer, a concept that could become a reality, if Gabester decides to make it happen, since he did say that not all of the concepts may not come to be.

    I seem to recall he thinks they're badly modeled and would take too much work to bring "up to spec". The Bandit in particular seems like it would be a problem; it could be passed off as a successor to the Barstow, but isn't it body-on-frame where the Barstow is unibody with a front subframe? And I'm not sure it looks quite right for a predecessor of the Barstow. So then where would it fit in BeamNG's Gavril timeline/product lineup? It's also bigger than the Barstow IIRC, but is the size difference sufficient to justify the Bandit being a notch above the Barstow in the lineup?

    gabester has stated that he wants BeamNG to be a separate "universe" so to speak, so that might have something to do with why the two don't make sense together.

    Even then, my idea holds up. My idea that I now call the Omega 2.0, is technically not the same vehicle as the original. The original Omega seemed to hold some similarities to Honda's Ridgeline, while my idea turns it into an option for the possible 2014 Gavril Roamer concept, which turns it into a four door truck with a tonneau cover inspired by the Chevrolet Avalanche and the Cadillac Escalade EXT. One thing I find interesting, is that the Avalanche and the Escalade EXT both exited production in 2013, so my idea is not too far off.

    Here's something I did in my spare time.

    Maybe it similar to Ford Expedition because 2014 Gavril Roamer concept is a body on frame SUV and it should be have rear independent suspension.In other hand, will be possible 5.0 v8 and 3.0 v6 engine included in the concept.

    Good idea. Of course, my idea is more focused on the Chevrolet basis of Gavril. The reason I include the Escalade EXT is because if its relation with the Avalanche, and it plays a role in how my idea would be named. If I renamed it from omega to something else, I'd either pick another word from the Greek alphabet, with some of my top picks being delta, gamma, omicron, and epsilon, or I would name it after the kind of words you think of when you think about an offroad truck, or just a bunch of letters/numbers.

    Maybe instead of a Gavril, a Bruckell? Or a new brand, like a luxury Gavril brand.

    Burnside is a luxury marque for Gavril.
