Ugandan Nissan Rally Vehicles!!

How's this for obscure?

One of the advantages of English being the most widely spoken (geographically, not numerically) language in the world is that you will find all sorts of little articles written in English about things you are interested in, in all sorts of nooks and crannies across the globe.

Example: Here is an article on the top 10 most influential rally vehicles in Ugandan history!! Now that's obscure! Great news is that the list is topped by a Nissan and includes other Nissan/Datsun models as well. I will have to dig deeper and try and find some more pictures of these vehicles raging through the forests and dirt roads in the home of the mountain gorillas...

Couldn't help but notice there's a Mitsubishi on that list too. (What can I say? I'm a Mitsu fan boi.)

Nice find! Uganda of all places!

Not a problem...I'm glad the Mitsus are well represented! Better than having a Chevy on there!
