I love my G-wagon......what about you lot?

i just so happened to take a peek out the kitchen window at my cabrio and then read this ! your phsycic goochie ! :-D my 79G gives a classic feel of pleasure. my G300 is just pure class feel factor..the cabrio just makes me feel like arnie..astalavista baby... no other car gives the same buzz rgds hus

Ditto Gooch. Well said.

Every day, it's like I'm admiring it for the first time. A sight I'll never get bored of - even whilst waiting for the AA to help get it started on a cold morning. Even broken down, it looks and feels badass and still owns the road.

Great post!

 

Drove my G a few weeks ago. Have to say Howard has done a great job of it, might buy it back next year.

Yes, he pestered and pestered me to sell it to him. He always wanted it since the day I got it, haha.

I'm sure Howard will put some pics up, it's looking good. I drove it a few weeks ago, driving lovely. 

Hate my G, have done ever since I got it, I mean, who likes the soft supple leather, the aircon, the flashy blue lit sills that welcome you in to the 'Box on wheels'? Its big and 'in your face', which does not sit well with my quiet, discreet manner. And the wood and luxury carpet? what the heck is that about? eh?

Please don't get me started on the heavy, V8 engine that drinks petrol like a thirsty docker, the loutish noise that emits from the tail pipe, the fact that it is so smooth you can balance a £1 coin on the block - big wup!, but my real issues here is the obscene power available - enough to hurl you down the road and get caught by the police at over a 3 digit number! And why is it so high off the road? I have to stretch to climb up the bloody thing! They should give you a ladder it's so high!

Then we get to the three locking diffs and H/L range box! Just what is all that about? So what, I can lock all three diffs? So what, I can go where other off roaders can only dream of? So what, that when it snows I am one of the very few vehicles that can get about? Please, I ask you - do we really need all that gubbins in one vehicle? And please - why do I need more rubber on it than a condom factory, eh? If I want to go wading through a large puddle, I may enjoy the fact it leaks like a colander and is not sealed like a U-Boat! and as for the total impractical 'drain plugs' had - waste of space as I have never used them before!

And as for the 9 seater capacity - just great, I am forever 'chosen' to be the bloody school pick up and TFL can stuff their ' here have exemption from the congestion charge'. I hate looking at it, standing there in the road, all 'high and mighty', screaming out to people who pass it - ' Yeah mate, look but do not consider touching!'. I hate it when children pull out their cameras and take photos of it and what really does hack me off is that you can see down cleavage of women in convertibles during the summer, or when they demurely smile at you for stopping at a cross roads - that height issue again.... Do they ever stop to think that for the next 30 mins your wife is going to give you the cold shoulder and the I-am-not-impressed look every time you have to check left? And what's with the big HD Widescreen windscreen, just what's that about?

And finally - who gave it bloody 'Icon Status'? eh? ........'Oh lets just not change the basic design for almost 40 years' and hey presto we can put what ever price we want on it and sell it! 

So before the pedants come on and say 'Why did you get a G?' .......easy, still better than a Range Rover.
