Anyways, just outside Maun I met a guy who owns a really cool Patrol Bakkie that NIssan themselves had converted into a Game Driver. Its a diesel obviously and I had the privelege to drive it in the bush - probably the best fit-for-purpose suspension I've ever seen in a Game Driver. The vehicle only has 8000km on the clock and is about 3 years old I would guess. Apparently, Nissan SA tried to break into the Game Drive market in Bots and had 2 or 3 of these made up and demo'd in Bots - this guy ended up buying this for an absolute song almost brand new when the marketing campaign apparently came to a shuddering halt.
This guy runs a safari business and with lodges, camps etc, he has many similar LC's etc - but now he swears by this vehicle - it is his absolute favourite and wishes he could get his hands on more of them... He's also selling a private island in the Swamps if anyone is interested
Actually I met a number of guys around Maun that were really interested in my Troll - there seems to be a preference building up for these tough beasts up there!
lekke man patrollies are lekke lorries
