Watched some videos in which UK scrapyards were shown and god gracious! Most of those cars sitting there are lmost brand new! Where i live if car goes to scrapyard it already has around 1mil km on the clock and is composed mostly of rust and whatever was used to hold it together

@@claire001savefile5 The ones knowing about comfort also know about the risks and back breaking struggles needed when your efforts aren't worth much 😉.
In Canada, I tried keeping a junker going and the wheel ripped out at 20 years old. Because the frame holding the control arm snapped. I decided thats enough for me and had it scrapped. But I could have possibly welded it back together. Where I live there is no mandatory vehicles checks so nobody would know anyways.
As an engineer I lived and worked in 6 different African countries from 1969 to 1996. The trouble is new vehicles are abused as much as these wrecks. Almost new Land Rovers and Toyota pick ups are overloaded till the chasis is broken.
When their livelyhood depends on it they must do it no matter what the situation with what little is available, trying their very best to provide for their family, working hard so the family won't go hungry. I salute all these hard working people, seeing them i appreciate my job that I complain and feel ashamed and fortunate at the same time with the countless blessings I get compared to them but still I complain.
When we lived in egypt we needed to buy a fridge, stove, etc for our house. So we went to an appliance store in giza, paid a guy out front in a bed truck with sides that was falling apart like these vehicles to drive a full load back to our house in el rehab city just outside of cairo. I literally rode with the guy all the way home, the truck inside was actually cool as hell. Buddy put a stereo and lights, new seats, and surprised me when it drove so well. Yet this truck was 50 years old, and it was still working! If we drove em and maintained them our old fords could go like this!
I love the Bedford truck and the Peugeot 404 pick-up truck. Both extremely strong , reliable long-lasting ... Cheers to all African drivers who manage to make their vehicles last long, whereas in Europe we tend to scrap them for no good reason...
@@abdul-kabiralegbe5660 most cars are scrapped when the value is so low it isnt worth selling alot of ppl hate selling cars and somtimes they rater just scrap it for £300 than get 1000 selling it due to scammers sad but true
@@abdul-kabiralegbe5660maybe if you talk about some old cars from 60 and mainly hatches. Later cars can go on roads kinda fine and in most accidents you would die no matter if you sit in a brand new corolla or old uno.
By any compartion - african mechanics always impress me the most.^^ How they keep running those cans, how they're not even frigthened to drive those but out most how they litterally build driving vihicles from scratch out of more or less scrapmetal and keep it running semingly endlessly whit/by basics of the basics. :D
Those old engines are pretty simple and more robust, but yes, all of them seems to be maltreated, because with a lot of them you can do 1million KMS if well preserved, instead here, you see engines with blown head gasket, that eventually will die, almost all of them have no pressurized water circuit, missing oil cap, they are on life support. They work just because are old diesel engine. Broken starter motors ecc, broken gear box but yeah, the chassis is missing. Petrol engine from what I see can't run here. Without an alternator the battery discharge and it can't run, contrary to those mechanical diesel. If you bring a modern car or truck there, it will be a useless in few time.
It's a natural consequence of absurdly cheap labour and a severe capital shortage. You get the bizarre situation in some of these places that it's somehow economical to have 3 dudes working full time to keep a single relic truck running with hardly any proper spare parts and extremely basic tools. Made worse by absolutely brutal rural road conditions that rapidly chew up even the most robust machines. It's only through extreme grit an determination that they manage to get anything done! Though I find the ubiquitous absence of intake air filters disturbing. To my eyes it's the one thing these guys could do better. I figure even a janky one made from an old shirt would be better than nothing. Maybe I'm wrong though. In contrast there are many firms in Northern Europe and similar places that will sell machines as soon as they start developing problems, because replacing the whole machine is cheaper than the elevated maintenance costs and lost production from even moderate reliability problems.
Taken from the mostly French made Worst road series. Watch the full episodes it is amazing. The Mercedes truck in Madagascar took almost as many hours to drive 56 kilometers. The endurance , perseverance and never say die attitude of Africa people is unequaled. I live in Eswatini.
Not going to judge these hard working individuals but only prayers and well wishes for them & their future generations. May god bless them with fortune 🙏🙏🙏
I worked in Port Sudan and can happily confirm this is quite normal every day driving. My driver could tackle the absolute chaos of the traffic with ease. Drivers give way to people they know! It’s a mind boggling system that they accept and seem to happily make work.
So lange die Fahrzeuge laufen , kann man sie doch auch nutzen . Das ist eben die perfekte Nachhaltigkeit , von der , hier in Deutschland , immer gesprochen wird . Ich finde das absolut toll . Gott möge die Fahrer beschützen !!!
Not sure what is more impressive the cars or the way the traffic system works! Having a steering wheel at more than a 20 degree angle feels very awkward yet these blokes turn 90 degrees and go straight xD
You seriously just said the opposite of reality. The truth is that rust proofing is much better than it used to be and engines last far more miles than they used to.
@@JackF99you seriously just didn’t say this did you? Do you know how unreliable all these new cars are with all their complicated engines and electronics? Damn
@@athens9867 sounds like you're going on intuition that because cars are more complex there is more to go wrong so they are probably less reliable. It's logical but it's just not true.

Nowadays most cars get twice that mileage without major corrosion or mechanical failures.
No, he won't. Nobody has money to pay for his work! However, a good welder with a good heart could do amazing things for the locals, assuming you could find electricity.
Bedford lorry were the best in the world. J6, I drove it when I first got my truck license. You had to kick twice on the clutch to engage the gear. Missed those days.
Hay I saw that movie with that land rover... The rover had no break's.. It was in Botswana. Good link ol boy 🤔 I know about the car's and trucks in africa 🌍. I pray for them everytime I see them.
Truck of the century, 2.06 is not in Africa but the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea, the town it's driving around in is Buin town in the south of the region.
You know there are thousands of old bangers in my country completely abandoned but are otherwise roadworthy with some small technical faults. I wish i could give those cars to these people so they could use them instead.
Unsafe to the point of being dangerous to the drivers, the passengers, and anyone nearby. But it's obvious that this is born from poverty and absolute necessity, and I can't help but admire their persistence, ingenuity, and determination.
The BMW X5 was not even launched in Europe when they were already onboard a Delmas RoRo - Container ship on their way to Africa, so do not believe there are only poor and starving people live there. And oui monsieur Pigot is a favorite in Africa, strong and easy to fix and the ground clearance of the RWD Peugeots was a blessing for Africans. When you see a Pigot there, remember it most probably had a life in Europe behind it.
Which of the cars did you find most interesting 😅
The last one is crazy! There's no air filter or oil cap! Anything is possible with God and an old Ford 🤣
@@ryanrovere4023 🤣🤣 and the some parts are made of wood
Either the one at 5:20 thats almost snapped in half, or the truck with no floor and a bucket of water to top radiator up on the move 😁

i watched this after watching The Grand Tour in Mauritania.
there was tons of these kinds of cars in the cities..

Working for a better future with little resources available. These vehicles are contributing to the economy every day.
....and the lack of self respect, is why their economy is in that situation.
¡This is not working for a better future!

Nothing wrong as long as these cars work.
i love it... never say die... lets face it.. brakes are over rated & floors are optional.
They work hard,respect to this people.😊😊

I notice that, even in those hard working conditions, people still laught at it.
A lesson for several other countries…
No suicidal thoughts due to financial situation or anything else😂

The producers of this cars should intervene and award them with a newer one
How and why?
They would likely abuse and ruin a new car in little time
