Hummers

Ouch!

-- Subaru WRX (The Bitch)

Series 3 Landrover 88" (Albert)

'"They called him Jimmy the gent"

Yes, Ouch!!

looks to me like it was one of those H2's, the small version of the normal hummer which doesn't quite cost the $100k they say on the site, but is nevertheless still a heap of shit.

Cheers.

Sam.

basically a rebodied Chevy Suburban with its styling cues taken from the Hummer ( so a bit like the new beetle, rebodied Golf). The real Hummer is a hugely engineered piece of kit, still fairly crap though. The Kiwis didnt buy any after they had a few for evaluation, they chose the Mercedes Unimog instead. Steve the grease

On or around Wed, 20 Apr 2005 16:24:03 GMT, "R L Driver" enlightened us thusly:

Mind, I've always fancied a Unimog.

Meanwhile... Disco front seat frames are utter crap.

Just been mending mine for the second time - if ICBA I'd pull it out and rebuild the offending bit with stronger materials.

What, no comments about why IFS is crap?

Yeah, me too - but they're totally impractical in every sense save serious offroading (and, ahem, I've actually had to unplug a moggie in Grumble before now...).

A 101 has the benefit of being compact, yet powerful - and you can get into one without a ladder...

Aren't they just! I thought it may be summat to do with the, erm, frame of the driver - then of course, Charlotte mainly drives our 'ex-Tim' and that's a bit fecked - she's only a featherweight too...

So, we have a knackered frame that usually supports Austin.

Another one which normally holds up Martyn

Another one which has spent 40,000 miles propping up little old me.

Yes, must be a design flaw. It's the only possible explanation.

Unless...

Not according to this, unless my eyes are telling me lies:

yet another potential problem with my soon-to-buy disco....

Regards. Mark.

't really worth the risk of tinyurling is it? Notwithstanding, the rear entry to this is actually lower than the entry to the passenger or driver doors. The ladder here being more of a convenience.

I know where you live...

Remember I only have quite narrow gates.

But if I didn't tinyurl there would be a good chance that you would know what photo I was referring to without much guessing, BTW, if you look at the photo again there are the shadows of three people, I hate to guess what the one on the right as viewed is up to (^-^)

How does that old saying go ?

A Unimog for necessity, a Landie for Pleasure but a Scammell Explorer for choice.

Or maybe not, I just made it up, but I would just love the impracticability of a Scammell to annoy people who get impatient with me.

Hi Martyn.

Do they fit in a 101 ?

Steve

I've got much the same opinion of a Alvis Stalwart...... I'd love one

I mot'ed a Pinzgauer 6x6 last night and I must say " I gotta get me one of them" It wouldn't work the brake test machine properly so I had to take it out on the road like you do I was very impressed It's been done for Red Bull with a disco in the back (not LR disco)

I'm not listening, I'm not listening, I'm not listening...

Not many squaddies would agree. If I had a quid for every ex or current squaddie who's come up at a show and said how much they miss the Tonnie and how crap the Pinzy is, I could afford to go buy a round of drinks that'd even satisfy the likes of Wayne Davies...
