    Overseas there have been older G bangers that are soft tops like the 110 perenties.

    Here are some pictures of G's used in various armies and roles. They have been used as fighting machines in the past.

    I am sure much to Army's displeasure, it is one of those things where you have to pay to get them taken out.

    Welllll, like any modern 4WD, crumple zone etc etc. Probably not as well as the perente, but remember we have the technology to protect the occupants these days, cars are replaceable, a life isn't. back then your body took the shunt. it was lucky you weren't in your car.


    Simple solution for the Army is park it in a barracks away from other retarded drivers distracted by mobile phones and modern life gadgets.


    Cheers
