It is built on a Ford Super Duty chassis using Ford engines. But it is ugly IMHO. However if you need the armour protection it seem to fit the bill.

Well I think it is far prettier than most of the Bavarian cars on the market..

I would have to respectfully disagree. BMW used it offer a armour option on the 7 series. I don't know if it is still offered. The Knight, properly optioned can stop a .308 AP round that would make Swiss cheese out of a armoured 7 series.

Now the Transporter always used a BMW or Audi and never an SUV. Evading the threat is often better than being a slow moving target and just stopping bullets.

If you weren't so busy all the time building the 'Sam Castle', you would have seen it at Cs&C with Chris and I.

It's a tank....and I'm pretty sure you could option out a roof mounted gattling gun. :biggrin One needs that feature to get a decent parking space nowadays....or at least for driving on the 405.
