The best 4x4 ever is owned by a guy around the block from me. He has a new Dodge Ram SRT10 quad cab with the 8.3 litre V10 petrol engine from a viper 8-)

The sound of that thing is absolutly amazing  :)

Looks very pretty, but one glance tells you it wouldn't cope with the slightest bit of adverse conditions whatsoever.

If it can handle 4 inches of snow it'll be fine around here ;D

When they came out they showed one off in the mags with the reg plate "A10CYL" on it.  Later that year I saw it parked outside of the Sheffield arena when the Stones concert was on, it was parked accross a kerb corner and was flipping huge, being nearly twice the height of my car.  :-/

The old L200 "Animals" are ok but i've always thought this new version appears to have had the back end tacked on as an afterthought & is basically pig ugly. As for the low profile rims & road tyres, why? The tyres won't grip off road & the whole she bang won't go fast or handle on the road.

   A fool & his money.... ::)

The rims & tyres (along with the general body layout) tell you full well it will struggle to hold the road while it's raining, you don't stand a chance in rough/adverse terrain with them on it.

Seen parked in Ipswich this afternoon. 

Difficult to appreciate how large it is from the one rushed picture I was able to get.  It was HUGE.



Incidentally, the writing on the side said "Walkinshaw" - I've heard of them - are they a racing team or something?

It's a Mitsubishi with an 09 plate, and I think it said something like LS200 on the back, but I thought that was a Lexus.

Hope I don't ever see another one. :( :( :(


Horrific to say the least :o
