The DS9 is weirdly intriguing to me, shame they don't sell it with the most powerful engine here. I could see myself owning one for a 20th of it's original price in 3 years (they are surprisingly pricey). Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ferves Ranger. Apart from the ridiculous levels of cute, I also dig the none flush fit doors and ludicrous levels of positive camber on the rear wheels. I do miss the baby off/soft roader, the niche is now well and truly occupied by quads and atvs but they lack the sense of fun you got from a Mehari or a Moke or a Kubelwagen or whatever it was. I remember seeing one of these in a rap video out of all places a few years ago (not into hip hop, but an interesting choice of car in this music video) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93M1QtYDtpU warch and bunglebus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
