Because it’s a ~13 hour flight to Istanbul, so you’d want two sets of pilots to cover it. Alternatively, they may have arrested the pilots who flew him to Lebanon as well, if they were different.

Maybe he should Pilot a Clarity when he sets out on an Odyssey. 

Damn those pictures are good.Kenya always delivers in that way

I competed in it for the first time this year. Finished 4th. It was the toughest driving I have ever done.

I lived in Kenya back in ‘88 when the rally came through the small village where I lived. School was canceled for the day so everyone could line the hillsides to watch. There was a rush of anticipation as we could see the red dust rising a mile away and hear the roaring engines approach. In retrospect we were all…

And also while the Mahindra is definitely 100% cribbing the CJ, as the dimensions might be different, but overall proportions seem the same, the description of the key similarities... is waaay too vague.

I’m gonna just put a link to The 28 Pages here...

And you know this how? It isn’t even out yet, no one knows what it can and can’t do. Plus this who “body on frame stuff is tough” shit is overplayed. I mean body on frame cars are safer right? That’s why the Wrangler has a higher safety rating. Oh wait. Also the old Defender couldn’t deal with as much weight. Explain…

It’s not as villainous looking as the modified 110s that the bad guys in Spectre used, but considering that they are basically normal Defenders but black, damn they look quite evil. Cue the Internet telling me why I’m wrong and, despite most people on here being American and actually never living with the old one, why…

Meanwhile, in Japan...

A 70-series! But yeah, this is a bad idea for this location.

Yeah, that NP is old-ancient, even. But it routinely the 5th best-selling pickup in South Africa, selling as many as over 1,000 models per month.

“The current South Africa Nissan truck model, known as the NP300 Hardbody, looks like the Frontier we got stateside in 1997.”

I rented an NP300 a couple of years ago for a roadtrip across southern Africa, and it was great - exactly what a pickup truck should be. It hauled a couple of people and a lot of supplies across wilderness and mountains and desert, and it never skipped a beat. Of course if you really really need to drag an extra tonne…

The Patrol/Armada does not have a CVT.

Lol no it doesn’t. It’s the 7-sp auto found in all their other RWD platforms. 

Do not know where you got your information from. Any article on Ethiopian taxis without the words “Lada, Lada, Lada” in it is suspect. 

Let me tell you about this guy. We had an exchange that became so nasty it was censored by the admins, so you probably cannot see it. You can see in his original post that he claims the fare explanation was invented by a researcher in the 90's. I called him up on that saying that fare is the explanation I grew up with…

actually... Hate be that guy. Its a land cruiser 70 series that has been modified for tourism duty. Simplest way to tell is that the body work on the side is not flat, Its pretty flat on a Defender.
