However, as much as I love my precious Suzuki, what the hell were they thinking with this?

That is shameful. How could they? That little wing on the back, why for god's sake?
I hope that they took the designer outside and watched him commit seppuku!

I actually saw one, stripped down with the axles dropped (you can fit axles the below the springs) and it made a good little mud plugger.

I always liked Land Rover Off roaders, with a few midifications they could be made into amazing machines.
then they released this animal dropping of a car.

The Freelander... Ugly, plastic and er... ugly.
You meany, the electric blue poofwaggon is beautiful car.....it cries now you said it was ugly :(
Not so much made me sick, but did put me in hospital, used one in the Lada challenge/ RAC rally, run out of talent and hit a tree....:smt082
I presume that's a 55? if so they had a novel safety feature, on convertion to RH drive the braking system was plumbed from the left (this was done on a number of cheap car back then, not normally a problem), however the floor was so flexible the front seat passenger could stamp down and cause the brakes to engage,I always though it was one of those urban myths, but we actually tried it and it kind of make the car "hickup", great fun...:cool:
:pale: dear god, oh how we are so fortunate to have that thing called safety these days :smt082
Tonights offering from me is this thing....apparently rather easy to replace the panels, and cheap

The CX Safari was like a spaceship in a world of Ford Cortinas. It was jaw dropping and as big as a battleship.
The H Van is also cool as its a van!!!never going to be a looker.

But how can you not love the "Sootty Van".
It was my job to clean up after the mechanics, the mechanics hated them and I did too. They look like wheeled maggots and the flat bed version can just about carry a wheel barrow before it is over loaded! awful things, not even big enough to put a sleeping bag in the bag if on a road trip and with less than a litre engine! Why would anyone want one?
Also, Sooty was a ****! :D

What is worse; the can or the spelling mistake?
and illegally parked if I'm not mistaken.
One kind of car that actually made me feel sick and many more of its type.
The horrible aroma of plastic, the recycled air from the air con thats been on since the car came into service.
The soft suspension that throws you around the back like a tossed salad.
Sticky seats of that easy clean variety only found in vehicles that induces a queasy feeling ..I give you a TAXI! (btw not just the ones in HK)
Pass me the sick bag..I feel it coming on just thinking about it :smt037

Those doors are just silly, how often do you have to bang your head on them before you have the car dumped at sea? Also, what grade of stainless is it made from? Is it the one that reacts with wee to give you an interesting set of salts? Could be worth knowing what with the pee taking that will go on!
This one at least has comedy value.

We obviously have poor taste! We like the five door version. They're extremely good 4x4s, and based on the chassis of my car :)
Although with a 30k price tag for the basic version, they're nice, and good.....but not that good!
Cannot understand why anyone would pay the extra over a Freelander. I think they look good but when you see them up close they are really small, Range Rovers should be big, especially at that price.
Oh and they were designed by Victoria Beckham dontchaknow
dizzyblonde
31-03-12, 01:11 PM
You are havin a laff aren't you? Seriously? Victoria Beckham is enough to put anyone off buying one :lol:
We don't think they look small up close, but then we know what is and isn't small as far as comparison to ours is. BUT I swear the three door one is more squat at the back.
Thing about Range Rover is that they are soooo mahoosive that they had to rethink how they could claw back sales, coz nobody wants a maaaahoooosive gas guzzling piece of crap that breaks down more than a Freelander does ;) IIRC correctly they ain't bad on fuel consumption either!
Well it looks pretty big in this picture in comparison to the item in the foreground. Maybe that's why they picked her

What was the Fiat that came out in the 80 at the same time as the Strada and it had 'search lights' bonnet?
Now that was F-ugly!
Ah Ha Suddenly clicked it wasn't a Fiat just happened that the FIAT and Talbot Garage were together... It was a Talbot Rancho also didn't realise it was first built in the 70's.
