we had a Rascal van (900cc) when we got married, we travelled miles in that thing and moved home with it, we used to pick up all manner of stuff in it..from a mattress to firewood!!

Depends how much fuel you have. or asm I reading this question wrong?

would love to do that rally, ive dreamed of doing such things since i was a young kid

would be really cool to make a car for that rally, but gear it as a survival vehicle, make it all terrain, high mpg, nimble enough to get away from stuff, big enough to carry things, chock full of gear to do whatever you need

awh man i wanna do this now!!

Its a hypothetical rhetorical question its just to show that even on a limited budget you can rig out a sensible vehicle as a BOV

Got the drift of the thread but being cynical old me:-

First mega big traffic jam would be my guess.

depends on the size/width of your vehicle, thats why i keep banging on about Suzuki Vans(Rascal type) for narrow, deep Devon lanes!!

That my illustrious elderly friend is why I go on and on about preppers doing indepth local reccies of al the B, C, RUPPS, Bridle ways and old tracks of your area as possible. Motorways, Dual Carriageways and A roads are reallt routes to avoid apart from the fact both the military, police and civil authorities have already earmarked those roads for emergency vehicles and mil convoys and will close most em as soon as TSHTF you also have to watch out for the mass migration of the less spotted sheeplebirds who will clog up the primary routes within hours.
Ordnance survey is your best friend.

Exactly!! trouble with the nighthawk is 1. its a single seater chop so no pillion and 2. its a bit heavy..if i slid in mud it would be a bugger to pick up again!! if your truly going off road a trials/trail bike it better suited..their a bit high seated for me these days, had one of those Chinese things and it nearly cut me in half!!

My view on the roads is that there will be someareas that get chock ablock with cars in a big jam. Most likely from a crash. Then cars will start to breakdown and run out of petrol. They will be impossible to bypass by car until everyone has gone and you can clear a rough way through. Bug out early or stay in place.
