The car, bought shortly before the 2011 elections, has served Besigye well in many of his battles. It has also shared some of the brutality directed at Besigye. Its windscreen has been shattered several times, its bumper has fallen off several times.
Yet Besigye continues to prefer it over his other vehicles.
