I know, but I love the SRT8 jeep SOOOO much. Luxury SUV that can kick the fuck out of most sports cars.
and I was going to buy a new Ford diesel, but I've got that '72 chevy pickup now that will pull a trailer for a while. Would prefer a diesel for highway mileage, but meh.
A raised Chevrolet Suburban is the most badass offroader :v:

Really, really impressive, but I'm still liking the GC SRT8 better :P
In the post today came a letter from a company that books a weekend thing to see the British Grand Prix (I went 2008 season), I'd love to go again, but it costs alot at £250 for standing tickets (£310 for seated tickets). Although the price does include travel there, and a night in a hotel.
I'd love to go with friends, would be such a laugh, I reckon I could afford it easily but I dunno if any of my mates would be up for it.
If not, then I reckon I'm going to have to booking be tickets for touring cars or something at Brands as they only cost about £30.

I like how in Britain your first car is a 0.9 - 1.3 litre engine because anything higher and the insurance is well over £2,000, whereas in America your first car is a 4.6

But do you [B]REALLY[/B] need a 4.6L engine, when you're young and most likely drives like shit??
The reason the Brit's have so high insurance on anything moderately fast, is to keep young retards from crashing in fast cars & causing more damage, then what a 1.0L Opel/Vauxhall Corsa can.

I love in Britain insurance companies think that engine displacement = engine power and the likelyhood of you crashing your car.
I love how in Britain my 2.0l S2000 is probably cheaper to insure then that slow 4.6l plushmobile just because of the displacement.

I'd hate to think how much the petrol costs, especially with Britain's petrol prices, I'm struggling to afford petrol for my 1.2 Punto

I feel your pain, my 1.6 ford seems to drink the stuff, all my mates with their rubbish c1s and aygos are getting like 50mpg and I'm lucky to get 30, it would be almost buying a rubbish car like that, except then I wouldn't be able to fit my mates in the back, or anything in the boot and it wouldn't be any fun to drive. Infact the c1 I had as a replacement when, shock horror my insurance actually paid out to repair my car, felt like it was going to fall apart at any moment at 70.
SUVs are fugly, get a real car that can go in the terrain if you have to.

The S2000 would be much more, I think it is done on power and size.
It's just that anything much more that 1.3L for a new driver is expensive to insure.

A lot of new cars do really good MPG, like my 1.2 does 40 MPG whereas if you can afford a new car, the new Fiat 500 1.4 Petrol does 60 MPG combined, and the new diesel Golf is supposed to do up to 80 MPG combined, and that's a 5 door hatchback
