Zimbabwe probably has the highest density of pickup trucks anywhere in the world. It was certainly reflected in the stands at the Harare Motor Show today. Along with a few boats, earth-moving equipment and heavy vehicles. There was a smattering of leggy female models thrown in but none that I really felt like photographing; especially when they couldn’t answer basic questions about the pickup truck I was interested in and then couldn’t find the keys! I guess I might be getting old. After half and hour I’d seen everything I was interested in and it was time to move on – definitely not the show of the Earl’s Court venue.
The show is on late tonight so I guess most people will be going for the party. We are a match for anywhere in the world when it comes to drinking, and sadly driving, too. I hope they are warmly dressed as the weather has gone vile.
Never heard of this make but I didn’t stop to find out more.
That outboard motor is as tall as me.
Some classics. As teenagers we all wanted to own a Matchless motorbike (centre)
Lots of pickup trucks
Foton Daimler? I hope the engine is by Daimler. There are lots of Chinese made trucks around with Japanese engines and drive trains. They don’t have a great reputation.
Zimbabwe Absurdity 
Not quite Earl’s Court
