Landmasters Or Globetrotters

"Territory."

A groundcar for human use on t'Kela:

long;
square-built;
eight wheels;
rear four on treads;
energy accumulators;
able to drive thousands of kilometers over rough terrain;
maintaining internal Terrestrial environment for a year;
air recyclers;
food for two for at least four months;
six bunks;
kitchen;
sanitary facilities;
maps;
navigation equipment;
radio;
survival gear;
spare parts;
native guides and guards on top;
intercom.

Solar Spice & Liquors uses Landmasters but sometimes Nicholas van Rijn's men borrow the competition's Globetrotters so he knows how to drive one... It would not feel quite like stealing if it was done with the authority, and even in the company, of van Rijn.

Kaor, Paul!

Being a fair-minded man in his way Old Nick might even have compensated the owners for damages/losses.
