Did not know what this was until I clicked on the link. Not to my liking, each to their own I guess -the perfect antidote to the S2K.
I think one of my neighbours has once of these or something very similar -looks like it's been to west coast customs for the full pimp my ride treatment :)

I think for that kind of money I'd be looking for something like a Mercedes M-Class, BMW X5 or Volvo XC90....

I notice you could get a 4/5 year old M-class for as little as €25K now.

Yeah, theres a similar looking blinged out one knocking around my area, huge road presence but like the lads, not my thing, give me an understated (in comparison) Paj EVO any day!

Take the 22 inch rims off it and it will look like any other builders truck.
I can see the novelty factor but I'd imagine it would wear off very quick when you find it sports leaf spring rear suspension and where the 0-60 is measured in minutes rather than seconds. IMO A PajEvo for half the price and many times the performance would be a better option and a better partner for your S2000.

Wow, so...very much on my own with that one. Well, I think they are the dogs and in about 2 years time when you can get 4 or 5 year old one I would be thinkin about one anyway.
The Merc ML got worst car in the 2004 topgear customer satisfaction survey so must not be all that great (and we all know what car came first :wink: )

I believe its a bit of a pig alright! Would a G-wagon be a better prospect?

i think they look alright Adrian, prefer the Crew cabin version rather than the pickup but still nice big road presence!
