shakir,
None taken, I am a proud owner of a 1997 G320 powertop cabrio, 1995 G320 LWB and a 1993 G300GE Brabus 3.6 liter, in the United States.
I have been living in Baghdad, Iraq since April 2006 and I will return back to the United States on April 2008.
The Armoured Geländewagen is an asset here in Baghdad, Iraq and I am a firm believer that it may take a beating but it will surely protect its occupants.
Respectfully,

shakir,
My Geländewagens back in the United States are all petrol.
The Armoured Geländewagens that we use here in Iraq are all petrol, but I have seen diesel Armoured Geländewagens used by other countries here in Iraq.

Spider1V,
Thank you for your words of support I appreciate it very much, I am looking forward to returning back to the United States.
Below are some more photos of a dark blue Armoured Geländewagen in Baghdad, Iraq.

Hmmm a recurring theme with those bullet marks.... is that a standard feature on Gs over there?
Makes you wonder why anyone would drive around in an open top G over there....
Also noticed they all appear to be factory armoured rather than aftermarket. Are they both American?
