What car - for the end of the world?
Discussion
The EU bailout has failed. 'Occupy' protesters have taken over every city; a Labour/Green Party coalition has won the election, closed all the airports and banned smiling. Your employer has gone bankrupt, your house is worth nothing, inflation has nuked your savings and nobody is delivering beer to your local (which has closed.) It's time to leave, but this is no time for a high-maintenance M3. You need some practical wheels to flee the rioting hordes. What will you be throwing tin cans and a tent into when the s

To quote Jeremy Clarkson:
"It doesn’t matter what question you are posing; the answer is always a diesel-powered Range Rover Vogue SE.
What’s the best car for taking the children to school? What’s the best car for a day’s shooting? What’s the best car for a drive to Scotland? What’s the best car for a quiet drive home after work? What’s the best car for crossing Africa? What looks best in a field? Or in Knightsbridge? Range Rover. Range Rover. Range Rover."

You also need something that can run on hooch or melted down bodies/animals or veg oil or the crudest of fuels as petrol/diesel will be one of the first things to be used up. In fact a steam powered vehicle might be your best bet, the steam lorry/bus that runs around Whitby might be a good choice.
Volvo 240 something.
Everyone knows Volvo owners ar old gippering fools, stringly and in every sense and almost to a person without taste.... So that's me saved from the zombie mutation that will surely follow. The cars are slow and plodding with that indestructable plough-on quality. Loads of room in the back for supplies, but more importantly they come in camoflage beige and brown that can put a Klingon cloaking device to shame. The perfect car for the end of the world.
