Is this an American thing or do other countries have these? I've heard that one is coming to Michigan and I wondered if my Turkish friend had ever seen such a thing.  |

It's unsaid that little guys would be into them, so I had to take him, he has like 20 miniatures...

I would bet they have a fair amount of it in Australia though, as they have the space and car culture. |

They have the space? What, England is too small to have monster trucks?
There's barely room to swing a cat!
