Inbreeding. Mostly.

Nah I disagree.

It's scene culture on forums.

Something becomes the accepted standard and everyone follows suit to gain reputation/popularity. Then people like this Polo chap take it to the extreme to win even more points

Instead they just get points on their driving license for driving with illegal modifications :D

1986 Suzuki RG500. Serious bit of kit! Square-four 2-stroke, just shy of 100BHP. Sounded incredible when he wound it on. Note the four seperate pea shooters! 0 - 60 in under 3.5 seconds, from an 80's 500CC.

£25K~ bike these days. Never seen one moving in person before.

Awesome. I had the opportunity to ride one in the early 90s. That along with a RD500.
Both crazy machines but the RG had the edge. Two crankshafts that counter-rotate. Crazy design.
 
:)Got this for the next week for a trip to Cornwall.
Basic 110 D200 in Pangea Green, white contrast roof and 18” alloys, also off road kit which gives terrain response 2, rear locking diff and off road tyres. Perfect for the M5 :D.

Interior wise is basic as it comes, cloth seats, no centre console or 6th jump seat, Carpet mats and the clearsight mirror the only options added.

PIVI pro has Apple CarPlay and the embedded system is a lot better than Incontrol. “Always on” to remove boot up time and vast range of software over the air updates beyond infotainment. Ie chassis control modules etc.

The 3D surround camera is pretty cool too.


I know it’s a bit of a marmite SUV/truck but driving it has really took me by surprise. Just feels good, the car has a character to it, it’s clearly massive but drives suprisingly well, nice turn in and response much better than a Disco 5 for example and the D200 isn’t as painful as you would think, it’s a detuned D240 so had the benefit of twin turbos.
Looking forward to the week ahead :)
 
I get it, its an off roader but you'd think they would come up with something more modern than 80esq seatbelt buckles. Infact looking at that interior its like looking at a timeline of features through the decades :D

the less said about the colour the better i think :) seeing past that its not the worst looking machine and even critique aside it looks purposeful and accessible which i guess is the intention.

How wide is it? Big vehicles generally do not suit Cornwall lol. Especially against oncoming tractors.

They are quite narrow.

It's supposed to be simple and hard wearing, easy to repair. They are expecting the military to buy these. Not sure they are though, they seem to be just keeping the old ones forever :p

Did London kill your parents or something, Nasher? I dont think I've ever seen someone making snide comments about it so frequently.

@Jonnycoupe - really like that. Sparse but has a utilitarian feel to it (which I guess will be at odds with the RRP). When I had a nose around one at a JLR stand in Bluewater a few months ago, it looked like the entire lower portion of the interior was all hard plastic or rubber, rather than carpet, so it almost looks like it could be hosed down. My girlfriend currently treats her car like an absolute tip, so that's actually quite an appealing feature to me :D
