Muammar Qaddafi "Umbrella Car" Tripoli EXPOSED!!

Turns out the car the "Brother Leader" is rolling in is actually a golf cart - Made in the USA. But the most important detail is the enclosure which is modular and may be fitted on many different models of golf carts.

The golf cart in question seems to be made by a company called Club Car based in Augusta, Georgia. They have a whole range of models and seem to be toward the higher end of the spectrum, as golf carts go - a sort of Rolls Royce of the golf cart world.
More interesting though is the "Brother Leader's" hardtop on his ride. It seems to be made by another US manufacturer, called Curtis Industries, based in Worcester, MA. They manufacture enclosures for small machinery to protect the operator from the elements.
So, certainly without wanting any role in the unfolding drama in the arab world, this two successful US companies will soon be thrust into the limelight.
Muhammad al-Gaddafi[1][variations] (Arabic: معمر القذافي‎ Muʿammar al-Qaḏḏāfī About this sound audio (help·info); born 7 June 1942), also known as Colonel Gaddafi, has been the leader of Libya since a coup in 1969.[2] His regime was associated with numerous acts of state-sponsored terrorism in the 1970s, 80s and early 90s.

From 1972, when Gaddafi relinquished the title of prime minister, he has been accorded the honorific "Brotherly Leader and Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya" (or more concisely as "Brother Leader and Guide of the Revolution") in government statements and the official press.[3][4] With the death of Omar Bongo of Gabon on 8 June 2009, he became the longest serving of all current non-royal national leaders and he is one of the longest-serving rulers in history. He is also the longest-serving ruler of Libya since the country became an Ottoman province in 1551 (see Ottoman Libya).[5] Gaddafi is alleged to have amassed a multi-billion fortune for himself and his family.[6]

In early February 2011, major political protests (inspired by recent similar events in Tunisia, Egypt and other parts of the Arab world), which quickly turned into a general uprising, broke out in Libya against Gaddafi's government. By 26 February 2011, Gaddafi was reported as having lost control of much of the country.
