Zombie Apocalypse Daily Driver Challenge.
Discussion
I was thinking...
When the Zombie Apocalypse comes, I always imagine myself roaring about in something like this...
Or this...
But the reality is, they might demand some serious servicing and maintenance.
The truth is, thhat in the Zombie Apocalypse, the most important thing might be that you need something that will never let you down, even if you have no opportunities to fix it, or put oil in it, etc etc.
So, if you had to pick a car that you would run for as long as possible, but you knew you'd NEVER be able to change the oil / fix anything on it / replace any spare parts, other than the odd roll of gaffer tape and a hammer, what would you pick?
It doesn't have to look cool or carry loads, I'm just wondering what would be the ultimate vehicle to run and run and run without ever lifting the bonnet or doing anything to it whatsoever.

Probably wouldn't want to do much travelling, the more times your mobile the more vulnerable you are, plan would be to hold up somewhere safe and fortify that, already got my safe place planned. So would likely only need a LWB transit or something similar, for initial supply runs into populated areas.
A sudden outbreak would mean we would probably have to be something close by , so I would go for my neighbours Shogun Sport Diesel. Go anywhere , tough , reliable and could probably run on veg oil if needed.

A few people getting the angle of this challenge bang on... and a few massively missing it.
Luckily, anything where you miss the point and the result is a photo of an attack helicopter is fine in my book.
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.

I think I've got it covered.
I'm not sure you fully read the OP. I doubt an Apache attack chopper is going to be able to be maintained with a hammer and a roll of duct tape 
I'd probably go for something like an original Land Cruiser. Reliable to the point of indestructible and simple to maintain.
