It seems that every car in this part of africa falls into one of two categories:1) It's a brand new $40,000 land cruiser/land rover owned by the UN, one of the countless christian ministries, or some international charity.
2) It's a beaten up frankenstein of a machine where the only remaining original part is the seat belt, and that's just because it's never been used.
We here at GOSESO are proud to belong to the latter group. As long as our toyota hiace can get us from a to b, we'll use the money where its really needed.
(This picture was taken after a rainstorm, and thus it is a bit misleading. Seen any other day, you would swear our car was painted brown.)

nice drew! not a far cry from the glory days in the white suburban...but a far cry from when you were a white suburbanite
I'm jealous you have seat belts... They don't exist in the "frankenstein" cars in Togo. I think it's because the Togolese couldn't figure out what they were supposed to be for and so they just ripped them out. Hey - it's that much more room to squeeze in an extra human or goat, right?
