    Dakar should just go on a world tour, already.

    We need to prepare the official Jalopnik racing team. I figure we'll need an old Volvo 240, a good old 'murican v8, and a string of Llamas.

    Just noticed... "Antofagasta" sounds like an Italian term for an organization of anti-gay militants.

    "Today in Rome, the Antofagastas marched on the Capitol..."

    Just get some BTR-80s and MRAPs and run the old course in Africa. Use some Apache's for the aerial footage/cover.

    Dakar is a City in the County of S-E-N-E-G-A-L which, that last time I checked was a country on the continent of A-F-R-I-C-A.

    How on earth do you move a country across an ocean to a whole other continent? Extra big Unimog?

    North Africa has really changed a lot. Whatever happened to the organizer's promise that they'd run the regular course next year?

    Second question: who has $500 to buy a car for this gig?

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Seems that there were too many people with spare time & sniper rifles on their hands in Africa; thus, the decision to run the race in a less 'bored-shooter enriched' country...

    It might just be my wild imagination. It might just be all the drugs. It might just be that goat I had in bed last night. But that coarse looks suspiciously like a goat's head.

    Just wait until the citizens of Copiapó are lined up along the street with litres of "Official Dakar Coolant" for $50 each.

    Unless he's got a really, really rugged delivery route, I would think that the florist would be better served by an E Klasse Touring 4matic (the one with the trick slide-out load floor in the rear).


    That being said, perhaps he wanted to use the G-Wagon after-hours as a ride to his Leather-and-Levi club get-togethers...

    See my sig.


    The G is one of my all time favorite cars. cSee several special versions below. There is also a 6 wheel version somewhere, but I cant find a picture right now.



    G-Class "Grizzly"





    And some random pictures

    @ptmeyer84 - Now with more fatherness!: I agree with that statement. The G-Cabs go for a very un-Geo like $100k+, which I think is way too expensive.
