I drove something similar in Colombia - a souped up armoured Cherokee Jeep

an embassy motor. I'm not sure what they'd done to it, but f**k me, despite weighing twice as much as it probably did out of the factory, it could f**king gew. Got it up to a ton 40 and it could probably do 0-60 in less than 10 secs as well. Pretty good for a two ton monster.

By comparison the land Rover discovery they also had felt like a gutless mini metro after driving the Jeep
