Not surprising it comes from America. More dollars than sense.

they have the modified S/C and turboed hummers here - the thing is they get somehting like 4mpg....its ridiculous how much those things drink fuel....and there is no real reason to own one either...

nah - hummers are lousy on sand, average interiors, uncomfortable ride, not good for 4wding - the only thing is they look hard as fu ck. there are much better 4wds going around.

Reason to own a bugatti is that (in the case of the veyron) its exclusive (40 per year), is faster than a bike, is faster than any car, and there is nothing else like it.

bad analogy.

well arnt hummers made for the army or something like that? if so, then that would explain why the its not comfortable, but being shyt for 4wd is hard to believe when there kinda made for it to help the army?

Rumours have it there was once a guy who had one up in Karratha/Pt Hedland (can't remember which one), and then got rid of it a couple of months later. It was useless for 4WDing, but only because the wheels were wider apart than the tracks left behind by all the other average 4WDs up there.

That was the H1 dude...we are talking about the H2's which have been completely "modernised" and tamed down for street use...

Actually it was a Dodge Ram from Panna. But same thing - he found it too big for the bush tracks.

There was a guy named lance in karratha with a H1 and yes it was too wide for the tracks up there. He also said it didnt matter cos he used to make his own tracks.

The H2 is based on the GMC yukon chassis. Thats why its accused of being soft compared to the H1. Give me the new TDi Land rover disco 3 HSE any day of the week.

Bugatti is a stupid ****en waste of money. Cant be registered in australia. Nobody here will afford one let alone drive it on the street.
