If you'd like to find out more about the Dakar 4x4 in general, I'd suggest visiting the Dakar Owners and Drivers Organisation's web site. There you can find a wealth of information regarding this excellent vehicle, a register of the club members (complete with photos) and links to various other Dakar 4x4 related web sites.

I've also found that the Dakar is particularly good at destroying old and/or stroppy computer equipment - take a look at this page to see the video...

Sold the Dakar :-( It had to go to make room for the Landcruiser's rolling conversion into an overlander, however the new owner has great plans for it, so I'm happy it's gone to the home of an enthusiast! :-) I'll post more details here as he's promised to keep me informed on progress.
