Jejejejeje....part by part: no, I'm not a drug baron....are you one of these european junkies? besides, if I were one, I'd had a HDJ100, not a Range. In Colombia Land Rover is represented mostly by Santana's, here a Defender is not an accesible good (the lowest price for a new one, a not AC, ABS or ETC 90', is around EUR 70.000, no rolling taxes or insurances included. If you want the RR Supercharged, you can go as far as EUR 250.000, no rolling taxes or insurances.
That translation from Google sucks. Here we have some Discos and go elbow to elbow with Series when mud arrives. Near Bogota we have some green lane called "Mud Highway", a 10 kms road plenty of mud.

I love my country, and I can tell you it's getting better day by day, we are trying to eliminate our biggest plague, the guerilla. We have some of the beautiest landscape in world, many of them unaccesible due to this men raping, killing and torturing during last 50 years. However, this time we have a government very transparent and strong, not buyable and they are making a good job erradicating guerrilla. 8 years ago I couldn't left Bogota because they were in the city doors, Land Rover couldn't go to off road courses because we could be kidnapped or killed. Now we go everyday everywere we want, no limits by security; believe me, things have changed. I know maybe in Europe you have a wrong image of situation here, it's not as difficult as you think, or as violent as it can see. You can come whenever you want.
In economics, Colombia always have been under siege by unemployment, inflation and smug. Things have changed a little, and now, together with Chile, this is the must reliable economy of the zone. However, we have high rates of poverty and unemployment, mostly due to political corruption (being erradicated by this government) and structural violence (guerrilleros). Our economy supports in many basic commodities (coffe and petrol, mainly), not in drugs as you can think.
