Martin Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 It's been on my mind for a while whether to sell the supe. It's just not that practical for my needs as my other car's a two seater to. I love the supe, it's still a great looking car and if I had the money I would def keep it as I've spent a fare whack on it and still have to before I sell. The thing is I went to look at the Hummer H3 the other day. I was quite supprised with the yanky monster. You get a fare bit standard on it, not like the Audi option list. It's alot of car for £26000. I really liked it, and you wont see that many on the road, and it's on pare with the supe for mpg as well:taped: So time to get saving and time to get the body work on my supe done in time for Summer;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's got to be done Jamie;) I do a fare bit windsurfing to, so I have to take the old van down to Poole which is a bugger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Saw one in Amsterdam last year, I think they're cool, but I like all Hummers (mainly cos my uncle was involved in the H2 project). Even the small one H3 is as big as a jeep cherokee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I also like them, have been considering one if I ever need a BIG 4x4... Should be fun on country lanes though And the tax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozz Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 If you're after a pimp mobile why not look at the Chrysler 300c? A lot of car for the money and there is an estate version so you could whack your boards in (probably). As for tax, it is hitting 4x4s now? I thought it was emmissions based and although typically 4x4s are the worst, sports cars are being hit just as hard (mine is going up to 400 odd next year apparantly).

RiceRocket Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Vital stats = http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/Detail.aspx?deriv=38504 I'm surprised the mpg was so 'high', road tax is £300 and you won't lose your clean licence all in one go on the motorway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Love hummers, look like tonka toys, i've driven a H2 stateside and that was fully loaded top quality leather, heated seats front n back etc, think its way too big for UK roads though, sounded nice too, i could probably out run it on a push bike H3 probably would be great to drive bit more nimble & frugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 We hired one for two weeks in the States last year - great car, loved it to pieces. The only thing I would say is that the space in the boot is rubbish considering the cars size Here's a picture of Murphy the H3 http://www.toplessdriver.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1231&g2_serialNumber=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Shame they havent introduced the FJ Cruiser over here in the UK.. seen a lot of those and H3s in New York for a year or so now. They look pretty cool. Its kind of a wannabe hummer tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think the boot was a tad small and the huge door was hinged on the side so if someone parks close, you're buggerd But strangley still not put of at all. It's not going to be fast with a 3.7L five cylinder but I'm not that bothered I didn't want it for speed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry about parking though, no one will be stupid enough to park next to something that big!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Looking at Q7's S-line at the moment, the 4.5tdi is a monster and has plenty of grunt with lots of luxury, out of all the cars I've had I miss my X5 the most - theres something about having all that space and being high up Of course the supe was awesome for its own reasons too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
