Post by: JiMbOb789 on 26 March 2008, 15:45:21

Anyone noticed the Hummers being sold in the vauxhall garages. RHD (right hand drive) aswell. The ones in patchway,bristol are from only £24000!

I agree. Awful things.

I could be wrong here (no I am allways wrong) but an American colleague mentioned to me that Hummers are not Hummers anymore. I aske him what he meant and he said when they where military only vehicles they where good. But now they are being made like ordinary cars they are s**t. His words not mine.

Can't say they have ever interested me, unless they have that rather large machine gun/cannon thingy on the top.

GM bought the rights to sell the road going version, the H2 was based on a GMC Yukon or something just as stupid.

H3 is even smaller than the H2

The only real one is the HMMWV (also known as the Humvee)
