If you lived in a war-ridden African country, what would you drive?

Just to keep things interesting, assume the Land Cruiser isn't available there. I'd probably go with an armored Nissan Patrol because it is the next best thing and it would blend in nicely, especially in white. How about you?

Patrols Y62 = money (as in...these guys must have it). No thanks. I will take a 300d estate

Neorion Chicago. 4wd to get out of bad situations, hard top, and noone will know what the fuck is going on. Go for the confusion factor

Probably some sort of soccer-momish suv stolen from America, and sold on the black market, preferably a Volvo XC90.

That's one hell of a confusion factor, what is it based on?

That's not a bad ideia, I was thinking previous gen ML myself.

I'm sure there are black market Tahoes and such over there, so I'll go with a GMT900 Suburban Z71.

Ah the Toyota Pick-up, the preferred vehicle for terrorists and insurgents all over the world, you'd probably survive longer than most of us.

ML is also a good choice. Although, driving a Benz may make you look like a warlord, whereas the volvo makes you look like a history professor.

Opel Kadette.

nothing, scratch build, frame built by a shipyard, powered by an AMC 360

My thoughts exactly, it's as close to a tank as you can get

I was wrong, that would blend in plus it is indestructible.

The Y62 is supposed to be pretty tough, but its huge, thirsty and because it ONLY comes with the V8 petrol it will only be bought by wealthy people in those countries.

And the Y61?

HammerheadFistpunch > My citroen won't start 12/10/2014 at 16:48

Still pretty ritzy, but a Y60 would do it, so long as it didn't look terribly interesting.

That looks like a G-Class and a Defender had a child with a tank.

Stolen from the UN, of course.

If you are lucky you might even get a complimentary blue helmet.

I think you have more chances of finding a GMT800, there must be loads from embassies and long forgotten movie sets.

Little protection and sure won't blend in. Because BRAAAAAAAAP...

800 horsepower, armored Raptor SUV.

An ML that looks very similar to the one Mathias drives, only on wider studded tires, a lot of armoring, and an aftermarket Diesel V8 from some truck new pickup-truck (think Duramax or Cummins), so it can be dependable and quick.

One of the best selling cars africa wide, so parts no problem. Car is simple, reliable, and cheap to repair. Also people don't think you're "oga" (big man with lots of money) in a Kadet, although in depends on the country.

In some countries having a car alone may make you a target, but in other countries such as many western and southern ones there are enough cars to bend in with.

Came here to post this. Add armor and make it a 300td with veggie oil conversion and it will last forever, run on anything, and blend in.

Also get a gold AK-47 for proper self-defense

Why not fight fire with fire? It even has a spare in case one of the others gets shot out/off.

Armored G-Class for when I wanted to be noticed and am in a hurry, armored 100-Series Land Cruiser for when I'm just out and about, and armored A8L/S-Class for official business.
