**Also testing image posting...

So while browsing some adventure riding ride reports on http://www.advrider.com, I saw this



197x 712 getting the proper weight-limit exploration treatment. I think this was somewhere in Kenya...

ummmmmm.....not sure about the colour scheme.

Must be designed that way to blend in with the wildlife !!

[crcpinz]

Or maybe to scare away the wildlife.

Damn it, that was gonna be my paint scheme....
Guess I will have to go with something else

This is really tame for colors...ever seen a Jeepnie in the Philippines? Now that's color!!

[waterdog]

is there parts available in africa for this?????

[Pinzmad]

DHL ships worldwide

Seriously though, I don't know of a local supplier, even though current patent owner (BAE) has a presence in South Africa. Something I guess I'll explore more if/when I venture into ownership/restoration.

Only via pictures in the user manuals & such..

I am sure there is some anthropological/doctoral level research already done on all this..

The licence is for the TD Pinzes...BAE bought Armor Holdings, who bought Stewart and Stevenson, who bought ATL (Automove Technik Ltd) that bought the Turbo Diesel Pinz licences from SDP.... check your game card....BAE isn't doing too well with some of these brand names... the last "big" order of Pinzes were the Kiwis ( before S&S purchase)... the S&S contracts for the FMTVs went to Oshkosh in 2010.
