….a spade and a pitchfork tucked neatly behind this vehicle’s boot door caught the attention. The top rack made it even more inviting.
Any farmer going out to work on the plantation and loading up food for the family’s keep would enjoy this car. Why not?
But this car was seen in the parking lot of a luxury hotel around Apia. A farmer returning from a long tiring day at the plantation is unlikely to head straight for a posh setting where people dress clean and rich.
Obviously this car is for the adventure tourists to drive around the rough roads of the countryside.
A chance to experience and enjoy the landscape a bit of farming the Samoan way.
We do have a network of plantation roads running deep into village land and this car is capable of doing that.
But this car looks like it hasn’t seen any dirt road since it rolled out of some car factory in Japan.
Still it’s a sight that makes the mind wander. Why not a farmer’s car?
