It will be a very hard choice, and we are still very doubtful about what car to pick. We do not have much time and right now we have 4 cars to choose from.
1) Suzuki Sj 410
PROS
It looks just about ready to take up long off road trips and it really inspires for surviving the Gobi desert. Furthermore it is the only 1000cc off-road you can still find in the market integer and at a good price.
CONS
Old Mongol Rally teams do not suggest this car, it apparently breaks down quite often and it is really hard to fix it. We would like to postpone the trade between Artemis and the camels as much as we can. So...
2) Fiat Panda
PROS
It's the old Italian peasants' car, experienced with all sort of grounds and loads. It is a very old car so it is very difficult to break it, and if you, break it, then it's easy to fix it cause it does not have many technological games going on in there. It is also pretty cheap...
CONS
Well... It's quite small, and bloody uncomfortable, it's as slow as hell, and it was voted the noisiest car ever. It does have its defects hey!
3) Citroen Mehari
PROS
Do I even have to mention the pros of this car? I mean it's just amazing, it screams MONGOL RALLY and COOL! With a little bit of pimping out it can be perfect. And the same point made about the Fiat Panda is valid here: it's an old car, it does not break.
CONS
Very hard to find in the second hand market and when you find it, it's pretty damn expensive. Mehari really is the best of them all.
4) Renault 4
PROS
This is BY FAR my favourite pick. It's SO Rainbow Rabbis. The shape, the look, the spirit of this car are exactly what we need. Besides is old, unbreakable and pretty high up from the ground which means it's good for the desert and steppe.
CONS
It's a VERY old car...
