God, that's a bit OTT that is...

Yep. thats it alright. Quite the tank. What is the other one in Dublin like. The one owned by the Treasury building guy.

It's not that big. It seems smaller each time you see it tbh. There's a tit in Cobh who has a massive SangYong whocareswhat that's even bigger. God it's a hideous yoke. What kinda muppet buys one of those for the streets of Cobh. I think the guy who has the Hummer in Cork lives in Ballincollig which is bad enough. I wonder if it's the same guy who has the white Stingray Corvette in the same area.

And if that makes you sick...he has a Modena and an X5 too.

Is he gay? I'm not, but you wouldn't know what I'd do to drive that Modena.

I'm fairly sure that guy lives around the corner from me on the Carrigaline road.

I think the one in the pic is the H2, the "civilian" model (I've read about them in mags before but I have no interest in such vehicles). There was a woman in the south Dublin area a few years back with the full-on Humvee, dunno if it's still around.

there is a black hummer here in ballincollig. huge beast of a thing. tis the full on mid 90's one not the new H2. he's actuallly sound out on the road and leaves everyone out at junctions etc. iirc top speed on them ones is 112kph(was watching a thing on 4x4's on the telly the other day. dunno if it's the same guy who owns the stingray. i'll ask him next time i see him around

Ah the hummer in Cork. It looks incredibley out of place on the streets. Quite a funny sight seeing it go up Sydney Hill, struggles to dodge the traffic when he is dropping his kid off at my school. Ya know he just drives up there though to show off the beast like. He has stopped now that the roundabout is in place in the school grounds and Golfs even have trouble navigating it.

Not so nice:

When I first saw it I thought "jaysus, another bloody poser with the weekend toy", but now I see he's using it as a daily driver I say fair fecks to him. That shows commitment. It's like the (opposite of the) twits that go around in convertibles with the roof up on days like we've been having up until today. That drives me utterly spare.

Hate the H2 btw. The originals had balls, and you needed balls to drive one. The H2 is just an overgrown hairdressers car.

and an un-naturally bulging wallet too I would imagine.
