Redacted Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 (edited) Apart from Land/Range Rovers and maybe the Jeep Cheroke i really can't stand the sudden trend of these kind of cars or the term "SUV" itself which is a cunty term to begin with and the fact that every other bland car you see on the road nowadays is either some ugly square bloated Chinese SUV using the name of a classic British car brand or some heap of shit oversized american pickup truck. Edited August 9 by ClitWestwood Jeep Wrangler not Cherokee, Cherokee's are dog shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it for about a year when I was in my early twenties and I thought it was fast… then a couple of years later I spent half an hour driving a Sierra Cosworth and I realised it wasn’t really. Cars of that era felt faster than they actually were. My current project is a '94 318i E30, which is sluggish as hell when you scrutinise the performance figures. But it's a barrel of fun to drive, nippy and agile with fantastic handling. I think a lot of that is down to the relative compactness of them, even the so-called compacts of today are fucking enormous compared with those old models.

I agree with every word of that. Especially about the cunt chinks hijacking the MG brand to purloin themselves an all too transparent veneer of civility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I’d be lying if I said I didn’t bottle it before they reached their limit. But one car I’d love to drive just because it’s a novelty, is a Reliant 3 wheeler. I get the idea of a 3 wheeled car, but the lunacy of putting the single wheel at the front escapes me. A single wheel at the back won’t cause it to roll over in a fast corner the way Reliants do. Have any of you lot ever had one? I’ve driven some fast cars (and owned some very fast bikes) over the years but, like you, never used them to their potential. I have no idea how anyone thought the idea of a three wheeler with a single front wheel was a good idea. Didn’t stop Reliant selling a fucking load of them though. My weekend driving fun is had in a 2019 LCI Mini Cooper S running a stage 1 remap, which gives it 270 bhp. Not a supercar by any means, but it’s fucking hilarious out on the country roads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you’re right though, as let’s face it, there was no actual driving benefit to the absurd design! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you’re right though, as let’s face it, there was no actual driving benefit to the absurd design! Go back to the 50s and into the early 60s there were loads of very cheap three wheelers of all sorts with small engines .. they were cheap to run and often had single cylinder motorcycle type engines. Loads of cunts only had motor bike licences and they were usually diy type used to doing their own servicing. for the type of cunt who had, had a motorbike and sidecar the likes of a relianr were a good and cheap upgrade. It was different world back then. The SUV names means Sports, Utility Vehicle .. back in the 50s they would have been called a Shooting brake .. the word "Sport" was reserved for cars that were low slung and you nearly had to crawl into and would make you feel like you wanted have a shit as soon as you pressed the accelerator pedal .. any cunt who owns a 4x4 branded as an SUV should be hanged or terminated with morphine.

Out of all the SUV cunt wagons, I put the offerings from Porsche at the top of the turd pile. The most ugly, vulgar and fucking pointless cars ever built.

Early ones were often powered by a 1300cc engine and could be slaughtered easily by a Triumph 1300GT. Capris were only ever owned by tosspots and serial wankers. Even the 1600cc versions could be seen of by a Triumph Dolomite 1500. I had a dolomite sprint ….it went like shit off a shovel.I also had a triumph vitesse, fucking dynamite! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikers used to buy them rather than take the car driving test. You have to get them MOT’d at a motorcycle specialist because of the rolling road brake resistance test. I think most of them ended up cannibalised into a trike frame with a Fiat twin-cam engine and a beer-keg fuel tank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The electric reincarnation of the SUV I would guess is due to the batteries. Very ugly and prone to toppling over. They give people a false sense of security until they land upside-down in a ditch.
