Not using the default vehicle setup with physics, but it is possible to have large non-physical moving objects. I haven't personally built or seen one, though.

Send me the script you have written so far and i will help you.... or did you really mean "all i need is a script for one" meaning the "some help with" bit was just a way to get some poor scripter to bust their ass for your benefit?

is it possible to make vehicles above that may prims?
if so how?

An alternative is to make the base of the vehicle physical and 30 primitives and have a 255 prim attachment that attaches itself to the pilot's pelvis, that is the rest of the vehicle.

A second alternative is to make the vehicle into two attachments, one attaching to the chest, the other to the spine, then animating the avatar to fit right in between. I've seen this done with a large jet attachment vehicle I have. That will give you 255 + 255 primitives to play with.

search this forum for posts by Jesrad Seraph about moving large vehicles, she makes one that works nicely for up to 255 prims in a linked set (I spent a while zooming around on a "vehicle" that was about 200 cubes linked together into a giant sort of cube just to test it out, and was impressed with the results.

With Jesrad's scripts? No. It's a properly configured vehicle script, or family of scripts, that simulate the vehicle engine with non-physical movement.
