Vannage - Hummer HX?

Do you think this hummer looks good? Its not exactly a van is it! I was thinking of buying a van for my nephew as he requires something fairly hefty to lump around supplies in Scotland. Obviously a used landrover discovery would be the best idea but I haven't found a decent one for a good price and looking at Van Insurance you can get some pretty neat Cheap van insurance on a vauxhall. But would a vauxhall cut it in the conditions up to the north of this island? I doubt it some how. So then, for a joke (stick with me) I had a look at the Hummer concept.


In looks at least it does appear somewhat 4x4 like. But as we all know the last hummer they released was better at crashing than it was scaling any sort of slope, mound - hell even some curbs sucked in a hummer. So what do we think the insurance would be on one of these monsters? Probably a lot, and not because UK Van insurance is expensive, but because americans are not the coolest cats in the uk, especially with the recession a'coming. So I wonder - do we need another hummer? why don't we stick to vans and Landrover DiscoveryS!!

Corvette ZR1 - Something good comes out of america?

The title yes does sound a bit anti-america. But I am not anti america - they did probably help in developing the internet age and they are in essence still young in terms of history - but this car actually looks good? I was driving behind a corvette in the UK last week but it was a much older model so I payed it little attention. This one however looks pretty damn good. I don't like the central buldge which looks new style celica like (bad for a higher end car) but the lights look supra like which is ok. Still cant work out what that weird central bit on the bonnet is though????

Chevrolet C6 Corvette Z06 GT2 - Yellow Mess?

Now if you read this often you will know I don't really love american cars, I am more of a german muscle man or at least something slightly effective. Typically american cars run 12 ltrs and produce the same bhp that a german 2 ltr car would - ok I exagerated but you get me. But this yellow car does look good - somewhat like a typical sports car I would say but I like the spoiler and rear end. Not something your likely to see in a used cars section in the uk though!
