"And Stretch, 2, 3..."
« on: December 10, 2005, 23:40:18 »
I thought I was dreaming when i saw this parked up the other day in a local supermarket car-park (& amazingly no camera with me)
Big-Car

Then it was in the local paper as well.

I think I definately prefer the vehicle on offer in Birmingham

Bet that's fun on some of those bends with the artics coming towards it :lol:
S'funny I quite like the look of the standard 330C ('Hemi', of course)

I like A8's, especially the early quattro V8 versions

Funnily enough I found this quote in some of the H2 publicity blurb

"The H2 has a good break-over angle for traversing crests of rocks"


 :shock:   :?   :lol:   :D

Think this one could struggle with speed bumps  :oops:

I saw a standard 300C on the M62 the other day,what a menacing looking motor, very dark & mysterious.
I like it :D

I saw the HUMVEE I started off with this afternoon & had the camera, so span round the car-park

Not!

We've been to a friends house tonight for tea, &their 16year old son is wanting that hiring for him & his friends for their school 'prom'.

'Prom'?, another strange Yank custom that we seem to be attracting :roll:

I particularly like the chrome plated recovery points on the front  :lol: Well, at least they are acknowledging the fact it would get stuck if it got in the smallest of muddy puddles!

We saw an 'AA Yellow' stretch HUMVEE on the M62 this morning, between jcts 30 & 31, heading west.
It looked as bad as the white one

Theres a couple of white one's close to where i work & most nights they are parked half on the pavement blocking rush hour trafffic, nothing better than going past when it's been raining & getting as close as possible, seems to annoy them for some reason :(bigwicked): , can't for the life of me think why :wink: ,

It also has chrome recover point front & rear so its ready to be pulled out from puddles.
