Our vehicle

A Toyota Hilux Raider 1991. 2,2 petrol. Single cab.
We call it "Scarlet".

We chose an older car so there won't be electronics involved...

...and a HiLux because it is the work horse of Africa.

It is more versatile than a LandRover. And we have used it countless times for the heavy work involved in refurbishing our house in the past 4 years.

And it is lighter than a LandCruiser.

But it is still tough enough ;o) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhoOkMccPZo
