This armoured Ford Ranger can stop an AK-47 bullet

It’s no secret South Africa is, sadly, a dangerous place to live. Murder and violent crimes are rife, with a woefully under-equipped police service unable to combat wrongdoings.

All of us intrinsically lock our doors as soon as we get into the car, slam the Trellidor shut and keep everything locked and bolted. Friends and family overseas are puzzled by our security measures. To them it’s overkill, to us it’s merely a necessity.

One downside to those fixed side windows: a quick stop at a local fast-food drive-through proved to be a bit of a palaver as I had to exit the car to pay for my food and to collect it.

Hitman/assasin: "Gotcha b@tch!"

Pew pew!

Kark! I loaded a box on the back of one, the other day, and my stomach pressed a dent in the side.

Have to live in 24/7 though, otherwise it gets stolen.

Your stomach made from a higher grade of steel?

Boontjie is no longer Klein.

 

[ubercal]

why do "die manne" need extra protection

 

[upup]

I am thinking of Elon's bakkie, it was also bullet proof, or at least it's windows was.

 

[Smugs]

Buy a Ford and you deserve to be shot...

Nah, just A-grade malted barley and hops.

Relatively easy to stop an AK round. Let it stop an R1's 7.62 and I'd be impressed.
