Brits develop Mad Max Taliban chase vehicle

[Jedburgh]

You can see a photo and a description here.

It is an open vehicle with several weapons mounted in various positions. Crew protection does not appear to have been a consideration. It is suppose to be a pretty fast off road vehicle.

It appears to be simply a natural evolution to a modern equivalent of the vehicles used by the LRDG & SAS in WWII. It certainly appears to outclass the the variously modified armed LandRovers that have filled that mission need since that time.

I'll take 5 of them - what other colors do they come in

With an order that size, you can probably get it in Mary Kay pink.

Mark Kay pink, versus British Army "pink panther" pink (WWII LRDG pink was a similar colour.)

Which goes better with your eyes, Rob?


While on the subject of Mad Max chase vehicles, I'm waiting for a military version of this!

Isn't it amazing how this concept has stood the test of time.

<--------------It's a brilliant vehicle.

They certainly came in useful in North Africa. You have to miss the simplicity of and repairability of the Willy's Jeep.
