Although still not in full production yet, Murray has with some backers designed a car which will help change the lives of people in 2nd and 3rd world countries. It's called the "Ox".
The idea is a practical, simple and an adaptable to whatever needs the end user orders by model. Gordon wants to get this happening as a "not for profit" scenario. Yes, the end users will still have to pay for the Ox and have fuel and parts availability. So let's just try see this as a positive idea. Some links: http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-new...-a-jump-start/ http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/ne...truck-revealed http://jalopnik.com/the-worlds-first...by-h-506738833 http://performancedrive.com.au/gordo...ck-truck-0700/ Cheers!

Bigger wheels and it would be a handy little weekend camper! Actually looks nice and rugged and simple.

Great idea, but I still can't see how the majority of people will be able to afford it.

What I find impressive is that it's front-wheel drive, with four wheel independent suspension and has 2.2 ton load capacity.
