The H3 aint Bling! If you guys call that Bling, i wonder what you'd say when you see some Hummer's in the gulf. The alloys on this look like some Chinese/Taiwan make. I would've preferred the stock ones to these.

Surely, a Hummer is Bling right from the start?

A hummer was meant to be a no nonsense go anywhere brute.Last thing its designers wanted it to be was "Bling".

OT: Civilian Hummers aren't no-nonsense go anywhere brutes, they are just nonsense. All that they have is looks.
I like the wheels on this one though.

Hummers look best with their stock wheels!

The best one for this vehicle is stock wheels. This wheels looks like some cheap stuff. Didnt like it at all

The 'civilian' Hummer H2 is nothing but a run-on-the-mill Chevy Tahoe underneath the skin!

Isn't this the same hummer posted here --> http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/super-...ml#post1019947 ??

nickatnite · 30th March 2010, 20:38

I saw the R8 near Ispahani Center late Sunday afternoon. Nice car.

theragingbull · 30th March 2010, 20:58

Lovely pic of the R8! That is at the MMSC track right? Any lap timings?

jagxf · 30th March 2010, 21:15

@theragingbull: yes that is the MMSC track and no,we did not time our laps we did just 4 laps or so,

Cyrus43 · 30th March 2010, 21:36

The R8 does it in around 1:55:00 as per the Autocar track test with Narain KArthikeyan behind the wheel.
