Cavcraft Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Have a sudden urge for one of these after seeing one about locally recently. I reckon they're class, a bit under-rated/ignored and there's no great discernible enthusiasm for them but I love 'em. http://www.gwoa.co.uk/ So, what's the general feeling for them?
Mr_Bo11ox Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Get one of the peugeot diesel-engined French army issue ones for ultimate shite points.
michiel Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Saw a fit, green, early three-door this morning, very refreshing in a sea of M-class shit. Subtle weapon:
Volksy Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 One of my top ten cars to own is a G55 AMG, Bling I know, and way out of my price range, but I love em!
Milford Cubicle Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I reckon they're class, a bit under-rated/ignored and there's no great discernible enthusiasm for them but I love 'em.I like them too, but for such an under-rated, rust prone and ignored vehicle they are bloody pricey.
The Reverend Bluejeans Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 For ultimate shiteness, surely the four pot G230, on a 1979 V plate?
pogweasel Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I reckon they're class, a bit under-rated/ignored and there's no great discernible enthusiasm for them but I love 'em.I like them too, but for such an under-rated, rust prone and ignored vehicle they are bloody pricey.Nail / head interface!!Though like Volksy I would deffo have an AMG G55 in my 'lozza win' garage, much cooler than any Cayenne or RR Sport (both of which are only owned by footballers/WAGs/wealthy pikeys). Also, I would use it for taking leaves to the tip or pulling a brian james trailer laden with obscure rammle that looks like i have dragged it out of a canal.
Milford Cubicle Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1992-MERCEDES-BEN ... 0260731709 Here is a real 'eBay bargain' at nearly £12k. Looks nice mind you. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MERCEDES-G-WAGON- ... 0401784930 This is more autoshite spec with its ancient 5-pot diesel and brown upholstery, but still the best part of £5k.
Cavcraft Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 Hmm, I think the upmarket version kind of misses the point personally. I like the sort of rugged but sh1te spec looking ones myself, going OTT on OMG MASSIV RIMS M8 INNIT sort of spoils the whole effect.
Station Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Saw a black one earlier yesterday. It sounded awesome.
garethj Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 They are bonkers expensive and they can't be much better to drive on the road than an old Land Rover. 1980 technology for 4x4s wasn't that advanced. When I worked in South Kensington there were a couple still roaring around. Of course they're much smaller than a BMW X5 (with X5 numberplate) and they do say "old money" better than most 4x4s which is a good thing.
Cavcraft Posted October 7, 2009 Author Posted October 7, 2009 Old money is definately the right vibe I reckon.I'd just as soon nail my knackers to the kitchen work tops than own an X5.I want another old 4x4 at some point for some off-roading malarkey so will see what kind of money G-wagons are doing.If, as I suspect, they're fetching daft wonga I'll take the easy route and downgrade to another Frontera Sport or some old J-tin
garethj Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 another Frontera SportFor that Old Dole Money vibe
Cavcraft Posted October 7, 2009 Author Posted October 7, 2009 Oh aye. Did the job ok though (both of them actually) and as they're about as desirable second hand as an unelected Scottish Prime Minister they're dirt cheap to buy!
The Reverend Bluejeans Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 X5 are for W4NKR 's only. Vile.My money would be on a seventies two door Strange Rover (none of your four door eighties Vague or HSE nonsense) complete with the correct steels and age related plate. The Kensington /Cheshire WAGS wouldn't know what to make of a minter.
ashmicro Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 "They can haz serious grot" The same man who told me that also said that W203 Mercs were shit, about a fortnight before mine went on fire on the M5.Make of that what you will.

scruff Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Someone say G Wagon! My mate got given this one, 1982 300D 5 pot gazole burner, we had to go and get it from Tilbury but even so, bargain!! Fired up and ran a treat, unfortunately the body was completely and totally rotten, so he's part way through turning it into a offroad buggy.
