For any of you that saw Top Gear recently, Mercedes have developed, I believe initially for the Australian army, a 6WD car, that they are going to now mass produce.

6WD, 3800 kg, 6 metres long, 5 Diff Locks, 37 inch wheels, full leather interior, de-flate/inflate tyre controls from inside (in 1 minute),nearly 1/2 metre ground clearance, full leather interior, $500,000 price tag.

Now thats what I would call doing the Cape trip in comfort. And stand out from the crowd.  ;D ;D ;D

Not a fan of how the stuff is placed on the underside, way too many exposed hoses there for my liking.
Do not PM me for technical advice - start a thread.

Speewa,
I'm pretty sure you'd be able to put rear drawers and a drop fridge slide in it
