Guess what I bought for myself today??
Haven't collected it yet, went to see it and put down a deposite. It is a 1994 G320.... photos will come next week.
133k km, black, A/C, old looking attik wheels, excellent looking underneath.
The seller wanted a 911 instead... he wouldn't swap his G for my 996 because of the steering wheel location :(

Looks somehow like the back of a range rover sport ;) joke joke
looks like a cross breed of a q7 and hyundai santa fe.
Now THAT was an ill-bred remark Huss
LP, looking forward to the pictures and will be interested to hear about your G as there aren't many frequent forum users with a 320....if any.
BB, that is a handsome beast you have there......shame about the ugly bit of black metal behind him/her :wink: ....sorry, couldn't resist. Is that instead of the ML?

In my experience, the G320, in both its in-line and V6 versions ranks among Spanish enthusiasts as the favourite G due to its balance between on-road performance, power-usability and current market costs. I know more than one G500 owner who has switched to G320 claiming that the former's brute power was extremely difficult to dosage in particularly difficult muddy off-road conditions, whereas the G320 is sufficiently powerful and sweeter in these conditions.
But then again, if you just want to drive Spider-like :D , then the G500 is far superior...

LOL you get no arguments from me there! :twisted: :twisted:
BUT interesting comment on the balance of on road and off road capabilities. I have not found any problem to date, but then again I have not really been VERY muddy conditions other than a some made up stuff by a South African somewhere in Welsh Land :oops:

I would be delighted to have you come and abuse my hospitality.
As a good host I would have to insist that I supply the toothpaste along with your own private toothpaste squeezer.
During your stay I would also be delighted to supply you with your own fleet of G Wagens which I have recently had delivered for just such an occasion. :D
?? All with 16" astaroths??

What r those g,s something sticking out of roof, horrid bumpers front and rear, come on big block there not yours?, stop fibbing, huss has got all fluffy and creamy now!
Hi gents, just to clarify the situation:-
I am not Bill Gates.
I have not bought a fleet of Gs for you to play with.
I found the photo on the internet.
It was obviously to subtle an attempt at humour for the GWOA. :D
I should have posted something like........
Due to problems with poachers I recently purchased a new G for my Gamekeeper.
It would actually be rather funny if your gamekeeper has access to a M2 .50.
Damed you Pok! I was just going to point that out!!!!
If he had - I would have applied for the job straight away! :P
Big Block
In answering your above statements... my reply is as follows;
Boo :cry:
even more boo :cry:
I bet you have found OTHER photo's on the internet :wink:
I got the humour, but then again I AM subtle! :P

Is that the South African aluminium body high speed pursuit vehicle? They had them during my time, but I wasn't allowed within a 100 mile radius of them.
Considering the fact that my Land Cruiser pick up suspensions lasted an average of 3 training sessions...
We are still waiting Pok
hahahhahahaha!! Speaking of high speed pursuit it reminds me of last summer when my friends and I drove to Ukraine... one of them got into a 110 miles per hour chase with the local popo while my other friend and i were in the car, he thought they were in a 80s USSR vehicle but in fact they were in a fast Skoda. So, he got caught and £14 fine for him!
I am guessing that's a Bundeswehr G? There is a MG3 in the middle as well... plus their camo looks somehow German.
Hopefully I will see the camera person later today... I am collecting it on Friday anyway!!!
Oh Spider... Apply for the job as long as bb doesn't ask you to do the weapon cleaning, that thing might actually take a single person 10 hours to clean after 50 rounds.
10 hours if you don't have some Mr Muscle and a hose pipe! 10 minutes if you do!
I have found a 30-06 works fine for poachers ;) I have even use a G successfully.

blaaaaah, i remember it took us (60 strong) about 2 hours to clean 19 M240s (FN MAG) in a weapon cleaning facility after a tank excise a few years back... no chemical was allowed of course.
One needs some automotive carbon solvent, (Amway? made a good one), one could then clean an SLR in probably 1/2 Hr max, very well too, incl a complete & unathorisied strip down ( of the SLR, i add!)
& 10/15 min for a satisfactory quickie ( SLR again)
PS
I found if one over oiled it the inspection was not as thorough :roll:
Hmmm, I was born a bit too late to use the SLR... all I could say is that the L85A1 is an absolutely awful piece of kit to clean (IMHO!!), the A2 is much better.
... when I did weapon cleaning the first time... blood all over my hand!! Not joking.
and there I thought the L65A1 was intended to be disposable.
I plumb HATED them pieces of shit, this prior to H&K's reworking thereoff.
On the other hand that nice wee optical sight mounted to a SLR
Sigh
PS
I see the Brits have paid £1,500,000 for 400 No 7.62mm proper rifles
Hey thats only £3,750.00 each, who says Military stuff is overpriced :roll:

:S :S One of the most important rule in the Army... never do the weapon cleaning for the others or never tell the others to do that for you :D
YES YES YES!!! It's home!!!!!! Pictures to come tomorrow!
I find it quieter than the 300GE, but maybe it is because my GE didn't have a silencer. Everything else is just about the same as the GE really... apart from more powerful.

one more... got about 15.86L/100km on the way back yesterday. About 20km of city traffic, rest motorway @ 120-130km
