I take your point about the "safe, cosy" west. But I'm not going to apologise for working to make cars safer: I know too many people who have survived accidents to want to go back to the death-traps of the 70s and earlier.

Yes Chris, no argument with that whatsoever. If I was buying a new car or
expecting an employer to provide one, then I would want the model with best
safety features in the market.
But the topic was about protecting the vehicle whilst overlanding in Africa
and other places, and my response addressed that situation. So techniques
etc. used in these situations are most probably not legal anywhere in law
abiding EU Europe, and I was not pretending they would be ! So let's move
on before we annoy Julian ;o)
