As we were taking them up a rocky slope with plenty of loose rocks, one of them broke a tie rod and had to be towed back. Needless to say, we did NOT purchase H2's... Phil What did they get? | ||

Tomo Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: Disgusting advert Super! I would love to have original ad film of this. A lot of H2s here in Hawaii, so there must be some H2 dealers. I hope they give DVD or what so ever to their customers. | ||

When I had a friend with an H1 attempt to follow me up to my cabin in North Carolina, he could not make it up the mountain. He was too wide for the road which had very steep side slopes. | ||

KERR Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: Disgusting advert as all of you mentioned, the tires kill the G, and in the clips where the G is missing im sure its because they couldn't dummy stick it. In the sand hill you can see the diff's are not locked, and on the long hill where it gets stuck they drive up there tracks and then plow directly into the deep sand with the G. It seems they must have locked the diff's, is spins moves a foot and they let out, then it spins moves and they let out to make sure you think its stuck. On the water crossing im sure the H2 does have a huge advantage. Heck its got 35" tires on it from the factory where we have 29-30" tires. I also find it strange that the lex and rover bottom out that easy. Don't they have an off road setting that raises the vehicle like 3-4 inches? | ||

My god this world is full of stupid people! Be patient, most of the clip is pretty boring, our favorite hummer "captin" shows his stuff in the middle of the clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIh4or5EUsc Edited by burqueDOKA 8/3/2006 6:13 PM | ||

Fenalaar Elite Veteran Date registered: May 2006 Location: Narvik, Norway Vehicle(s): 2001 ML270CDI, Polaris 400L Big Boss Posts: 826 | Re: Disgusting advert Unless I'm mistaken, that stunt on the articulation ramp is a protest against alle these big, nasty, polluting 4x4s. I keep remembering reading about this somewhere on the net, but I can't for the life of me remember where I saw it. If you take a closer look on the video after the Hummer has tipped over, you can see people congratulating the guy and clapping their hands. Also, thr guy that did it, doesn't look very depressed for a guy that just mangled his expensive car.... Johan-Kr Edited by Fenalaar 8/4/2006 2:13 PM | ||

I think the look on his face is of shock at what he just did. The crowds reaction is what I would expect, laughing at the idiot who just ruined his 50k toy, WITH PEOPLE INSIDE NONE THE LESS!!! | ||
