Old 198x-early 90's Toyota Corolla. Indestructible.

This, ideally an older diesel that could run on veg oil. A sunroof would be very important as it makes a good escape hatch/weapons mounting point. You would also need to pain some sort of shark mouth motif on the front, since this is scientifically proven to make anything at least 200% more awesome

Luckily, anything where you miss the point and the result is a photo of an attack helicopter is fine in my book. hehe

To put it another (non Zombie) way:

Imagine the challenge was that you had to buy a car and use it for ten years, AND pass ten MOTs, but never lift the bonnet AT ALL in that entire time - YET - still do, say, 10,000 miles a year.

No oil, no filters, no plugs, no parts - just fuel.

Could any car survive that..?

Ultimate durability.
Some of those older American cars could i'm sure.

I reckon look to whatever's still creaking around the average African backwater. Mercedes W123, Peugeot 504, that sort of thing.

If it can survive every conflict in the middle east since 1970, then an apocalypse is easymode.

I don't care what you say about reliability, it's got an anti-EMP modified engine and that for me trumps any logical and sensible argument on cool factor alone.

All it needs for the zombie apocalypse is a plough.
Oh yeah, good idea for countering the EMP grenade throwing zombie.

Spoil sports.... wink

OK, I'll have to resort to the good old Hilux. Never seen a vehicle in such a sh it state and still keep rolling.

It disappoints me that come the zombie apocalypse, and the fall of almost all mankind including but not limited to Eurocarparts, some fker is still forcing you to take a yearly MOT. Ccensoredts.

Anything powered by a gas turbine, because it will run on basically anything.

Here's another train of thought. When a clump* of zombies attacks your vehicle, you might biff loads off, but there's always one that somehow gets to hang on. You therefore need the roundest car you can find with nothing for the pesky bleeders to latch on to.



  • clump is the officially recognised collective noun for zombies

But the power grid will go down in no time, and if you can get a generator up and running you'll need to save every last bit for your home/fortress

Chrysler PT Cruiser convertible.

If the zombies aren't laughing their heads off they'd be sick and barfing up their guts thus rendering them immobile as they'd trip over them, like a dog with long ears.

ETA pic of dog with long ears to prove my excellent theory.

Ford F750 - Purely based on size and power! It could pull a small town and would last forever.



In the real world however this, armoured for durability, spares would be everywhere, remove all the junk in the back and build living quarters!

Aaagh, amidst all this zombie apocolypse, a more important issue - my diesel refuelling overspill OCD kicks in.
