Mother Mary!!! Thats on BIG ute!!! Almost lost my car!

[StoneChucker]

So next to my usual parking space is parked this monstrosity of a ute! Looks how it dwarfs my KB Mobile! A Dodge Ram something_or_other. It's utterly enormous in person, but I captured some of the size on my phone. Almost has it's own gravitational pull!
Had a mean exhaust on it too. :devil2:

Funny though, saw "Directory of NZ's Petrol Stations, and how to get to them" on the front passenger seat!

PS: Not a speck of mud on it anywhere. Looks like a shopping vehicle and pick your kids up from school sort of thing :weird:

[jazbug5]

Monstrosity would be about right...

[ajturbo]

i was in the sates when ford's "F" Series utes came out, there was the

150.... this looked like a big ute for the girls/teenagers
250... looked like the single guy/trades man
350.... this was for the serouse farm worker that needed plenty of grunt.

now the 250/350 were massive utes, you could put nearly any jap car in the tray!!!..

but they were nothing compaired to the
450 !!
this was capable of moving a bus around in the deck.... and i saw this monster just outside of a small town in mexico!!! this thing probably cost the same as the income of the entire town! ( there were around 20thousand people):weird:
what use was it there?????

[Suney]

Thes one big bi...... :D

[ajturbo]

ummm my mate in welly has one of those.... uses it for his work, towing his drag car, bonking, having a house warming party in the back, (well it's big enough for it! hahaha)

[Motu]

Looks like a guy with a very small dick parked next to a hairdresser.....

[JohnBoy]

would be funny trying to watch that thing paralell park on the terrace!!

[NhuanH]

Looks how it dwarfs my KB Mobile!
dude, I see not a gleamy red R1 - only a hairdresser's MX-5.

[Waylander]

Mmmm Dodge 3500. A mans truck that is. Get rid of the camper cover throw some gatorback swamp tires and another 12 inches lift in the suspension.:Punk:
Every rednecks dream. Does it have a big chrome catte guard on the front?


Had another ook, no it doesn't have one. Needs all the stuff metioned before aswell as the cattle guard to be perfect.:niceone:

[Ms Piggy]

Doesn't our very own Dangerous have 1 of these minus the canopy?

[inlinefour]

:weird: And I know that that thing would be worthless off road.

[Waylander]

The quad-cabs yea. Get a single cab and your sweet.:devil2:

That's just a little one, try this for size.

[XTC]

That is a big ute but that's also one tiny little girls car..... :)

[Waylander]

Dodge trucks are nice.
Fords suck hard bull balls.
Chevys rule the day!!

There was a huge mother of a ute out at the riverbank a couple of weeks back. Don't know what it was but it had monster truck wheels on it! The only decent 4-wheeled thing I've seen out there since the car with the cardboard spoiler and body kit.

[250learna]

I dont get Americans and their big trucks, and HUGE engines to run them. But i find it even harder to understand someone in NZ who buys an american truck since WE have to pay so much more for patrol, and thouse things are so fuken thirsty :drinkup:

[Sniper]

Someones compensating for something

[Badcat]

let's meet face to face and you can call my mx5 a "girls car".

Make that Face to 2(Face) as I'll be there too, supporting the little mx5!
As you can see, 2(face) / face = face, which is what you'll be on if you keep up that talk XTC :rofl: :niceone: :ride: [pt]

i took a suburban for a test drive a couple of weeks ago - 6.7l turbo v8. now THAT's a big truck!

[gav]

Doesn't our very own Dangerous have 1 of these minus the canopy?
Nah, his is just a little Nissan Navara, common as.....

[SPORK]

I'm thinking of something that starts with "S" and ends with "occer Mom" can anyone tell me what I'm thinking of?

..................and impractical. There use to be a Hummer that lived in Lyttelton. The thing is so enormouse that not even cyclist can get past in the city. Think they just want people too look at them.

[Wellyman]

Stone chucker mate I hope the MX5 is your wives and you are borrowing it for the day because that is not the kinda car you want to be seen driving around in!

[gav]

pfft, thats nothing...seen the latest trend? Big pick up trucks, freakin big!!!

yeah attention seekers, or gangsters :oi-grr:
either way the humma is far too big and unpractical, they had a test for h2 on top gear ages ago and the thing was doing a mile to a gallon under acceleration :no: and it still wasnt going anywhere.
it is ok for advertising tho, like the red bull one that come to uni everynow and then, the back pops open and theres speakers and turn tables etc... has a ps2 in it too i think. :niceone: :niceone: :niceone:

[250learna]

ive driven an mx5 a few times and its goes ok, and its rwd with alright handling.
I went drifting in one once and that was fun az :niceone:
as far as teh looks go it is a bit on a faminine side :whistle:

No shit, Sherlock? :whistle:

Hey dave,
Can I still get my hair cut on friday? :D

:lol:

[Gremlin]

Ignore the H2 and H3, those are just for those that want name. Now the H1, thats nice. Top Gear tested it too, and Jeremy was busy driving it down some tiny english street and ended up having to reverse back up coz he couldn't get down it. All the other cars behind him had to reverse as well.

F150/Ram 1500 is worthless in my opinion. F250/Ram 2500 is really nice, but double cab.

F350/Ram 3500 I believe needs an additional license to drive it. Mostly used by forestry etc. And I have never heard of 450... love to see a pic.

Of course they have their use. You can pop your bikes on the back for track days (assuming for some reason you aren't riding it there). I can easily see my garage holding a 250/2500 and a sportsbike. Save fuel on the bike, then use it for the ute.

I think the Suburban also comes in a 7.2L V8. I once liked them too...

yeah, H1 is nice. One of things on my "to buy when i wil lotto" list. :niceone:

Translation: I wish I had a big truck to make me feel good about my inadequacies (I'm too afraid of what people might think if I drove an MX5) :motu:

The better halves father has a couple of Chev trucks, He's a builder. One of them is the 6.7ltr diesel turbo, on the open road it's slightly more economic than my Forester turbo.

[Timber020]

The hummer is great, what for I just dont know.....the reason the US army has them is just so they dont have to walk they have to take over oil rich nations to feed them. Great motivation for the troops. Voted by countless 4wd critics as one of the worst 4wds ever made. I have been in a few US army ones. I just couldnt see the point as they have no room inside yet are so huge. They need so much power just to pull their fat asses around.

American trucks make sence in the US, but they are loosing market share to the toyotas and nissans. But here? They are a penile extention.

The new MX5 sshould be out by the end of the year.... Still wont trade the falcon on one. Where would the double pushchair go????

On a second look, it appears to be crafted in the shape of a weasle.

There is a disturbing rise in numbers of these death mobiles in NZ...

[James Deuce]

None of those utes are real utes.

This is a real ute.

http://www.internationaldelivers.com/assets/xtfamily/img_rxt_header.jpg

International RXT

22ft long

5 tons (2.5 tonnes)

300HP, 540 ft-lbs torque

[Timber020]

Only 2.5 tonnes? Mines heavier than that!

[James Deuce]

Only 2.5 tonnes? Mines heavier than that!

That's the minimum weight for the driver.
