[Mr_B]

I was going to list the Renault Koleos... but it's only a 4 cylinder... and I somehow can't see Bennie driving a Renault!

[Mr_B]

Ok and one another... Mercedes...

M-class... 3 options... a 200kw V6(3.5L)... a 285kw V8(5.5L)... a 375kw V8 (6.2L)... with torque ranging from 350nm to 630nm

Volvo just like a Ssangyong Musso is a car for life, one of my colleagues is driving his 3rd Volvo already, not by choice but the only way to get rid of the thing by not giving it away for free is to trade in on another Volvo at the agents. No thanks.

[Family_Dog]

Volvo might be an expensive car to maintain, but it is most definitely the safest car around, ever! It's probably the best engineered car out of any, bar none. If I could afford one I'd buy it tomorrow.

Johan Bosvark sweer hoog en laag by Kia.. In Brackenfell beter bekend as K&k In Aankoms.

Hyundia Sante Fe... ag forget it... diesel only...

[Mr_B]

One more... the Hyundai Terracan... there's one driving around Brackenfell... looks cool... lifted with custom bump/bullbars...



Not sure if it's a current model... there is a 3.5L V6 AT option @ R 299500.00!

[Mr_B]

Personally... yes very personally... I like it!

My Merc is going just fine, thank you.... but don't give me ideas! You know I have no will power... . Only major repairs were a set of new tyres

Volvo_Dog has a very nice ring to it, and I have always been partial to Volvos, since the B16, B18, B20 eras. Fantastic motor car!

You just could'nt kill the old Volvo B series motors .... artillery proof! ... the bodies were pretty hard as well but the motors still outlasted them ... and not too bad on fuel, even with the twin SU carbs. Don't make 'em like they used to!

[BenHur]

come on guys get serious now, no swedish or korean cars please I don't do Fugly, My neighbour should not here my now, he is an avvid Saab fan has 3, ag stuff that his taste sucks he has a Safari Station Wagon too, he maybe coming right thinking of changing the Safari to a Gen 1 Pajero V6

[Scorpion]

I'm with Bennie on this one. Volvo may be really good vehicles, but you will NEVER be able to get away from the brand once you've bought one. Kia and the like, doesn't float my boat either... Stick with the Germans or Japanese - they really know ho to make cars!

Preach on brother....

[Mr_B]

Ok here's a preach for you... how about an American muscle car?

[RustyRod puts on a flame retardant suite... and armour proof jacket]

The Chevrolet Captiva... 3.2L, V6 cylinder, 169 hp, AWD...

BOOOMMMMMM!

[Family_Dog]

I rest my case...

Had to do this. This is the first time, ever, that a colleague has used low range on their Prado. This is the epitomy of the Sandton 4x4. I quote her mail below;

"Last weekend at the Vaal – BMW got stuck in the mud, Pajero got stuck trying to rescue the BMW – and the Prado came to the rescue of both and towed them both out at the same time – and the wheels didn’t even spin!

Gotta love Toyota!"

Man ja nie 'n groot fan van die nuwer shapes nie die biekie oueres is mooier maar as ek ooit 'n LC koop is die eerste ding wat ek doen om die LC badge af te haal en tevervang met ene wat lees "Hiluxwannabee"

Have not driven the Captiva but the other late model Tjevs I drove in the last couple of years was mostly what we will call in Afrikaans "rammelkaste"

Bennie, hier is my advies, en dit is FINAL:

Koop vir jouself 'n 5 series BMW platkar. Dit is BAIE kar, en jy kan hulle vir GOEIE geld kry. Dan maak jy jou bakkie reg, dan het jy mos 'n 4x4.

Ek sekondeer die voorstel van die Voorsitter van Hilux4x4. En dan sit jy 'n blerrie DiekTyTir daarop...
