    Toughest Cars

    Indestructable. Tanklike. Really tough cars. If possible show some picts of before a crash and after a crash.

    Carmaniac is just a name. I won't shoot you for sport.

    Toyota Hilux.

    For those who did not see top gear.

    They tried to destroy and early 80's Hilux.

    From off the top of my head.

    They tried to drown it by putting it where the tide comes in most in the world. No luck.

    They wacked it with a crane knocking ball.
    They drove it thru one of those small mobile house units.
    They dropped a Caravan on it.Only a few small scratches.
    Then, they set it on fire. It was still working and driving.

    Then.....they put it on the top of a huge apartment building that was getting demolished by TnT.

    Aaaaaaaaaaand................

    After the HUUUUUUUUUGE Drop.....

    It.............


    WAS STILL WORKING AND DRIVING!!!

    There was some over stuff they did to it back at the start aswell but I forget.

    THEYRE INCREDIBLE!

    http://www.brakedisc.net/features/tg...ex.php?part=01 here is a detailed explanation of what they did.

    Land Rover defender, Not as tough as a hummer but they last for ever.

    They are used by 99% of all farmers here, and the army, also used in jungles, deserts etc feeding the poor and stuff.

    Three quaters of all defenders are all still running.

    Toyota Hilux no doubt.
    I saw those two episodes of Top Gear where Clarkson tried to kill that car...
