mad_pete Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Reading between the lines ...... The best looking (piece of) 4x4 (when viewed from a)far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Hehe, friend of mine's wife has one of those. I got a phone call requiring assitance when it got stuck down a muddy track. Suffice to say the 'proper 4x4', me Defender, pulled the several ton Musso out without even blinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I have a suspicion that the Sunwang (or whatever it's called) is the ugly son of a UPS delivery van! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickeyw Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Funny indeed. Maybe the guy did it for a bet? Jeffin' ugly car; although I believe they have Merc engines perhaps. In which case that'd be the only good part of it I imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 They are Mercedes underneath I believe. My aforementioned friend is forever moaning about the cost of parts and servicing etc. And the weight of the thing. Says it drives nice though, on tarmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobson Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 They are merc engines, unfortunately i didn't get a picture of the sticker he had down the front doors which said 'MERC POWER' he said they were based on the G-Wagens.... To be honest it could have a 6.0 litre v12 under the bonnet for all i care! i'd stil rather have my 300Tdi! oh, and he had a boy racer sounding exhaust to make it all that little bit worse! I guess it's like those Volkswagon Polo 'Harlequin' limited editions they did a few years back, you'd have to have a bloody good sense of humour to buy one!

Landy'd Gentry Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Does that mean I will have to put a sticker on my BMW saying powered by Land Rover? (M52 engine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 They can bring whole new level of wining gearbox more so then any rover owner has ever experienced believe it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errol209 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Once seen at a hot air ballon meet; A "THE BEST 4x4xFAR" sticker; In the back window of a rag-top airportable; Edited (with a sharp knife) to read: "THE BEST 4x4xAIR" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy! You were brave going in to Slough from choice! I have to drive my missus from Maidenhead to Slough every day and get cut up, sworn at or forced off the road about once a month at least. Slough makes the road rage on the M25 look like a lovers tiff. Marc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
