Well, I made a few references early on to my "Monster Truck", and I got it a couple of weeks ago. The Toyota FJ and the Dodge Durango fell out of favour after I sat in this baby...
Yes, I bought myself a Hummer H2! 6.2 litres of shock and awe! This thing is huge. Pictures don't do it justice. This is the only time in my life I will be able to afford to buy and run this beast, so it simply had to be done!
I know I'm not a tall person (understatement of the year), but these pictures give you an idea of the scale of the car compared to anything else on the road.
Yes, that is a ladder. I've actually been up there on the roof taking pictures of lightning a few days ago.
Mean or what? The weird thing is that everybody stares at it as you drive past, but almost invariably they smile. I've also caught people walking past it smiling and just saying the word "Hummer". For a mean monster, it really makes people smile! Dave reckons it looks like a Tonka truck. He has a point. Jeremy Clarkson said that it makes you feel like you're a 7 year old boy again. He also has a point. I'm going to make a detailed post about the driving soon. That should explain to you why I bought a Hummer!
