...Rhino Buggies' ambitions. "Clients wanted something they could have fun with in the bush but also drive to the office," says Watson, sitting in an office littered with toy plastic rhinos and model LandRovers and Jeeps. So he and his mates came up with the (road approved) Hammer, a Hummer replica on a Nissan chassis. Then, one day, they sat down with paper, pen and ruler and conceived the Blizzard.
