    I'd be more interested in the RHD 'Vette.

    I wouldn't be seen dead in one. That said, the environment has nothing to do with it.

    I wouldn't go near one. Would like a Ford F150 in RHD though.

    I wouldn't drive one because you'd look like a tool driving it.

    I would have a like to have a Ford F350 pick-up truck with the 6.3L Triton V10, or even the 7.3L Diesel model (which has enough torque to pull down a skyscraper). Sure over in the States, you can get a Ford Econoline (the American version of the Transit) with a V10 engine it, I'd like to see that thing off at the lights!

    Screw the environment, hippies... :D

    I drive one and I love it. I do use it as a workhorse tho, I sell gym equipment so it would often have a few tons of weights in the back so that sort of justifies it ;)

    I also have a Volvo 850 T5 so I do have some taste...

    Co2 is good for trees. They live on it.

    I don't like the H2 model. I would actually prefer to have the original military model. Wouldn't say no to a Dodge Ram either.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,034 ✭✭✭astraboy


    I'm in the states at the moment, the Dodge Ram extended cab with the 5.7L Hemi is class. Theres one in the car park in work, I love the look of it and the rumble of the v8 is nice...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,815 ✭✭✭✭Anan1


    I dunno, lads. Don't any of you like cars that actually handle?;)

    Those H2's are a joke - for people with a seriously small nob.

    They are no relation what so ever to the original which might be worth having but the H2 = idiot mobile.
    Even the SUV they are built on the Chevy Tahoe is far better at almost everything - I just cannot see where the attraction is short of needing to scream out - "I'm a toss pot"

    Well id say in emarica where bigger is better etc they are probably fine/normal enough. Also the roads there are generally very big, here though id say you would be mad to get one, Id say they are so much hassle to drive even things like getting in and out of tight spces like car park entrances, in my work the entrance to the carpark is the width of a car, a hummer is the width of a bus..

    I guess for someone like Mikk who has a semi practical use for one it might be a nice commercial vehicle, though id prefer something else.

    What an inappropriate name!! :D

    I saw an 06 hummer all black in blanch shopping center last week... it was massive, it must cost some amount to run / maintain... don't know how anyone could justify spending that amount of money... would you even get 10mpg out of it? a quick google search says 10->13mpg...

    I know in the US they are classed as a truck (i think the GM yukon is the same) hence don't have to comply with the emissions laws there....

    Believe it or not, there actually are people out there who think a Hummer will somehow make them look cool. And looking cool is very important to some people.

    When Jeremy Clarkson floored one on Top Gear the fuel consumption readout went down to 1mpg.

    Yea i know that theres some people who think they will look cool, but i think i'd rather look cool in a 5 series BMW, for alot less money, and much less running costs!! :rolleyes:

    Funny you mention a 5 series I just bought a 01 E39 for my girlfriend, nicest car I have ever driven.

    No read it again I brought it in after the other one was refused. I had to commercialise it tho ie. take out the back seats and black out the windows.
