Anybody has any car in a good condition but doesn't use again to dash me, pls? Any model.

Imagine, my friend just got an old car and ever since, he is so scarce to come by now. Here's someone I assisted when b4 & when he was an undergraduate, even when I never dream of university education.

Mercedes now armour e.g the Benz Pulman Guide and Rangerover,the Sentinel. Before they don't.

Yes,the range rover sentinel is armored right from production and ir Mercedes armors now,it must be a recent development, and definitely not for all cars. Armoring is done to specification and you never know what a client can afford. Hence,they can't just armor any model of car,and sell. Besides, armoring is expensive and isn't something to be mass produced on a large scale.

correctguy101:
Depends on where you attack with the RPG.

You just don't go shooting away like that. If the target is on motion, your aim is to immobilize it. where would you attack?

Hmm,
Except i use a rocket that'd be 'locked on' on the target. Whether it moves or not.

Regardless, could still hit a moving target without that

Besides, as a marksman, i would have considered every contingencies sha, to make sure i cause mayhem. Hypothetically speaking oo.
Lol i no be terrorist biko

There's practically no weapon we have in this country that can be compared to what the world powers have.
When they create such vehicles, it undergoes several tests and that's why they can boast that grenade or RPG cannot destroy some vehicles.
