Anyone want one of those to PLAY WITH when bored to tears on a hot sunny day (-:

What da hell izzat? Looks like it'll float on water too.

Only in Texas. . . .

The South African army used vehicles like this - although probably in somewhat less luxurious versions and with more armour on the top. Note the V-shaped bottom - designed to deflect mine blasts - practical thing in the hunting fields... I forget the name of these vehicles (named after some animal, perhaps?).

I'd say pretty much the perfect vehicle for a game drive...

The military vehicle/s you mentioned were the (Rhino) and also the (Crocodile) which we used when I was in the Rhodesian armed forces, way back, possibly before many of the forum guests were born, or were young boys possibly !!

Digressing slightly, I cant understand why the USA did not have the forsite to design their HumVee with a similar V style undercarriage to help deflect the IED's as I thought it would be common logic to do that

Cheers, Peter

I was going to say "Ratel", but you would know better than I, mate.

I always wondered that about the Humvee as well............

interesting the table with a rutting red deer and a spanish ranch brand .....

We had a variety of those. Buffels, Caspirs, Wolf turbos, etc.. The Ratel was a bir different but could withstand mines easily.

Have a look in Youtube and search for "The last Domino". You'll see most of the vehicles in there.

Where are the gun racks?

Pretty useless vehicles for true armoured combat. Air burst mortar and shell and high profile RPG magnets.

In 1990 my wife and I were driving from Harare to Kariba town. On the pass just where you drop off the escarpment and head down to the Zambezi we came upon a "Unimog" of the Zim Army on the side of the road. It was pretty smashed up. Next to it lay a dead elephant bull. Several Zim National Parks scouts were salvaging the elephant. They told us that two Zim soldiers inside the Unimog were killed in the collision. Seems like they would have been better off to have hit a mine.

Visiting Moab, UT, I so a similar vehicle try to climb a trail called the top of the world and have a rollover the driver was very lucky he was not killed. Crazy

These things are made in South Texas, and are for the pampered people who have more money that they know what to do with! Useless!except for a wildlife park for viewing animals at places like Fossel Rim Wildlife park near Glenrose. Texas!
The picture on the table top is of an American Elk, (wapiti) , and spanish is the second language of Texas! 90 % of our cities are named Mexican names.

I'd hate to be in one of those things if it rolled over!

Unfortunately, Gator1 is absolutely correct.

But it doesn't have satellite radio......
