Max_Damage

Ardennes1944

someones got a few bob anyway!

Trampas

I was passed by an 11 reg Kia or Hyundai jeep yesterday on the M7 by Newbridge.

I'd say yesterday was the first day to be able to collect them? Why would someone want to drive a brand new car in crap weather in Jan/Feb? If it was me I'd wait till at least April but then again I'd never buy new!

Because the difference between driving an old and a new car is magnified in crap weather.;)

Spotted a white Nissan Juke, horrible thing. Why would anyone buy it ?

Lads - believe it or not I saw a 11 D Mercedes Benz SLS yesterday - grey coloured - sounded fantastic. My first 11 D car was a £170 k gbp supercar - must be 350k here no ?

I glimpsed it as it turned left from Merrion St to Baggot st.

No, I shouted after it but it just drove off. Sorry, I don't have a camera with me 24 / 7.

Mine was ordered 26th August (!). Was told 12-14 weeks lead time (Golf GTD), fleet company don't register anything after Nov.1 for obvious reasons, then the weather kicked in... tick, tock, tick, tock

AAaaaagggghhhhhhh - call me pedantic pat or whatever but being an SUV or 4WD does not make it a Jeep. A Jeep is a brand of SUV or 4WD - just like the Hyundai is.

Oh ffs.

I know what a jeep is thanks. I don't, however, know what the different types of hyundai are though so to make it easier for people to picture what i'm talking about i used the word jeep.

I would never use the term SUV, to me that's an americanism. It's also not accurate to say 4WD because i don't know if it was.

I would imagine most people got the picture.

bladebrew
