The problem in this sort of scenario is that all the big stuff attracts too much attention and uses too much fuel. - It's no good having your zombie-mashing excavator if it's run dry by day 3.

Sorry to be the spoil sport. getmecoat

u contraire, my diligent but wholly misdirected friend.

I have thought about this for several hours solid now, and I have the answer. No EMP, no broken down Defender, none of it.



There's a scene in The Walking Dead where they smear themselves in blood and muck to fit in with their new social group.

This is the automotive equivalent of that. While you're simultaneously battling a bad case of the They All Do That Sirs and getting ambushed by hordes of angry undead 3 Series drivers, I'll be quietly shuffling around the Waitrose car park at 9mph, in ever-oblivious air conditioned luxury, straw hat on the parcel shelf, biding my time.
Very good, very good indeed good Sir!

However, what about the harem of dusky maidens full of gratitude and my body parts? What good is a zombie apocalypse if you can't have untold amounts of sex with the few survivors left? Takes all the fun out of it. I think you really need to reconsider.

EDIT: All the rumpy rumpy would of course have the added benefit of creating my own army. The zombies would be quite literally fked and I'd be the new emperor of the world. Job jobbed.

Well, maybe I over emphasized the literal bit, but now that you mention it.. you know what they say, no means no but 'graagh' doesn't.

As per this website however, I might be in trouble if she said 'graaaagh!' so I'd have to be very attentive. I'd be in luck with 'brnhr' though. Giggity.

Old non-turbo diesel Transit for me. Runs on anything, mechanically simple, lots of them about to plunder spares, plenty of room to carry fuel, parts, tools, weapons, food etc.

Slow as fook but enough to outrun the undead, probably worth adding some bars over the windows and some reinforced bumpers shaped for maximum splatter biggrin

I'm not messing around here.



I'd have bolted sheets of steel (galvanised of course - I'm in for the long haul) around the sides and fabricated a nice snow/zombie plough at the front, along with fitting a hefty winch - winches are good. Metal fencing over the windscreen, all of that should stop intrusion.

I'd have created a hatch in the roof and clad the edges of the top of the van (like the tops of castles) with steel plating to create a nice safe sun terrace/raised zombie slaying platform.

In the armoured motorhome will be a few jerry cans of fuel, guns, ammo, various tools, water, food, a fine selection of porn magazines, and a nice assortment of alcohol.

I'd also have acquired an astronauts suit, which will be suspended off the back of the motorhome on a basic crane. This will allow me to coat it in zombie guts and innards before jumping into the suit to facilitate being able to walk around among zombies; thus making journeys for supplies safe.



Saying that, actually I'll probably just nick a luxury yacht. Saves all the faffing around.

Although you may not want to do any offroading in it.
My first thought.
Or maybe an old shape Panda 4x4.
Definitely not a SJ410

The Zombies are easy, it is the other survivors turned road warrior you need to worry about and for those you need a Range Rover

Has to be a Land Cruiser.

The Peugeot 505 is an alternative, used all across Africa.

Or maybe if you are a gentleman who appreciates a little refinery during the apocolypse, a 70s E-Class

Id have a gas guzzling supercar, no point worrying about zombies, human teeth are st, as are human nails. So free fuel and open roads.

Just wear a thick leather jacket, helmet, and some nice thick jeans (best double up to be sure unless you have leathers) and you're fine out and about. Providing they are traditional stumbling ones not silly running ones. Unless you get boxed in by loads you really are fine unless you have learning difficulties.

Break the stairs in your house, stay upstairs until the muscle rots away due to lack of oxygen in the zombies and you're fine.

Unless they are necromancy zombies, in which case you're fked on that front. But you should still be ok until the witchfinder generals and Van Helsings sort it out.

There's a company nearby who have a pair of unimogs with tree shredders and winches fitted, so one of those.
