Who knows, maybe the guys from Mitsubishi surprise us before December, then it's game on.

What is this that I do not know about.

Moet my nou nie lus maak nie man

For the 4X4 or what ever they call it?

It was for the 4 motion.

Hey Jean.
I am a Big Colt fan. Mine has taken me to lots of very nice places.

I was expressing some wishfull thinking there. It would be nice to stay with Colt, but they build seriously tough bakkies, not like these AmaTrok's with the small rocket motors in them.

But the Mitsubishies have terrible tow ratings! Look at the Triton, only 1200kg, barely enough to tow a rubber duck!

Don't know! Nobody owns them that I know!
But I must be honest, I've just come back from looking at one and well they suck big time. Off the list again, 2 vehicles now... Jeep or Land Rover! Unless someone will sponsor me a Cruiser!

Don't know about the H3 but I've droven the H2 on some extended trips and sat inside the H1 military version once.

The H2 has a very nice interior layout and is quite confortable but it's fuel range is lousy either they should have done a diesel version or increased the fuel tank not really suited for African offroad adventures due to it's limited autonomy range.

How do you do and offroad vehicle that every 400Km has to go to the gas station to refuel...


Here is a pic of one of the H1 military version, there is one at Lubango in Huila province, pity the owner did not allow me to drive it :-(
