Mercedes G Class. Never seen one that wasnt all over the road or failed to signal, or some other random stupidity. Always driven by some twat on a cellie.

For $80K, you can get both a Lexus and a standard Landie for when you actually (giggle) go off road.

Cnuts.

That is all.

Is that the Wannabe Defender thing?

Is that really appropriate language from a moderator?! Some would find that word rather offensive.

yep, its the one i thought it was.  I dont understand why someone would buy one when the Defender is available for less money, will break less often and when it does will cost half the amount to fix.

Pure status. Thats it. I seriously doubt more than 1% of them ever go off road.

I was at a very fancy outdoor jazz concert a while back, and looking rather dapper, and in the food area the local MB dealer had one on display. I was invited to look and sit in it as I ooze gentlemanliness, and I put on my best skeeter voice and said, "That theres the ugliest dang truck I ever did see." :lol:

Its just Merc trying to muscle in on the people who want a "Serious" 4x4.  Im told they cant even match up to a Cherokee, never mind something like a Defender or L200.

I believe the original Mercedes G-wagon which that is civilised version of is actually a very good vehicle for military use better in some situations than landies. Quite why anyone would want one for day to day on-road driving I have no idea.

this is why.

some people would have one for that.

Quote from: The AustralianReality TV star Nicole Richie was charged yesterday with driving under the influence of drugs after she was seen going against traffic on a Southern California freeway.

The pre-dawn arrest of the 25-year-old "celebutante", who co-stars on The Simple Life with hotel heiress Paris Hilton, came about six weeks after it was revealed that she had sought treatment for weight loss.

A Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department report showed the 155cm actor weighed 39kg at the time of her booking.

Todd Workman, spokesman for the California Highway Patrol, said police encountered Richie at a standstill, blocking the carpool lane on the Ventura Freeway in Burbank about 1.45am local time. He said the officers had responded to reports from motorists of a driver going the wrong way on the busy highway. Although Richies car was pointed in the right direction when police found her, her black Mercedes-Benz sports utility vehicle matched the description of an SUV seen entering the freeway against traffic nearby.

Mr Workman said Richie was arrested after she failed a field sobriety test and that she had admitted to taking the prescription painkiller Vicodin and smoking marijuana. A preliminary alcohol screening test was negative, he said. Richie was alone in her vehicle and on the phone when police approached her. She was "very co-operative" and told police she had been following a friend on the freeway when she got lost.

Richie, who has had treatment for heroin addiction, was charged with driving under the influence. She was released after posting bail of $US15,000 ($19,000).

But it looks like a blind chav has modded it!

Its a bit idiosyncratic. Its obviously chav modded and it has chav-gards(tm) over the grille and lights. :lol:

I think that one was modded by a chav or similar.

It looks like its straight out the early 80s.

u do see a few of them in military guises tho

Mercedes DO built the ultimate 4x4 though.

Im referring to the AMG edition, thats driven almost exclusively by pole thin wimmen around here with cellies and a distinct inability to find the directionals. Doubt theyll be kicking ass in any local rock quarries soon--in fact, I doubt theyll ever lock the damn differentials. :mrgreen:

they will.


purely by accident.

Ive pulled a Range Rover out of the sand with one of these in the middle east. To be honest they do make good working trucks, about 1 Billion times better than the ML wank mobile (that Ms. Ritchie was caught driving). How ever the Bling versions Ive noted (Chelsea MB dealer garage is just along the road) are pure pish pal. As they say back home.

For the money, if you want to go off road, Id have a fully loaded Bowler Wildcat thanks.

Id have a real off roader - a mercedes benz unimog

unimog ftw!
