I hope my F150 has a better made gearbox than my Expy
still have the smell of 2 day old fried gearbox in my nostrils Very upset given the bullet proof-ness of my old Expy Given that I drive the Expy like an old woman and will hammer the F150 it best be built tough like the window sticker claims So what happened? Did it just clunck and no more, or loads of white smoke? |

I love it when a new car breaks down. Reminds me of our old volvo that was towed to the dealer on day 4. It never worked properly - but I blame the shitbag Renault engine

Re: Dodge Charger RT - the worst piece of automobile crap currently on sale
We bought a Renault Traffic van back in the day. Had it for approx 2 days before we blew and seized the engine. Their excuse was that when they were throwing it together they had forgotten to put oil into it and connect the oil sensor warning. As such, it apparently only had assembly oil in it.
I thought it did well to run for 2 days! |

I derive no real pleasure from driving and I really don't understand how anybody could. It was fun when I first started doing it, but the thrill was gone by the time I turned 20...
I drive a cadillac STS btw- I'm all about comfort |
Re: Dodge Charger RT - the worst piece of automobile crap currently on sale
Picked up the new V8 F150 tonight and cant remember the last time a car put as big a smile on my face as this has.
Absolutely love it, goes like the clappers and sounds awesome If the Range Rover was the best car I have ever driven then the F150 is the most fun. Was supposed to drive it straight home but went skudding around DXB instead. Cant stop smiling I cant think of any reason to buy anything else other than the 6.2 V8 Falcon if you have the extra cash Only downside is I am off to India for 2 weeks tomorrow to pay for it, bugger. However weight loss is the fastest way to improve performance If you have just bought a Hyundai, Kia or Honda then weep in shame |
Re: Dodge Charger RT - the worst piece of automobile crap currently on sale
Haha I've done something like 500 miles in mines in 3 weeks
Sounds great in tunnels Microsoft sync system is great and actually works |

Well, nothing as exciting as an F150 - but a 1996 GMC Suburban. Just had to have one once I found out they had a 7.4L V8. Love the sound the idling sound the exhaust makes.

Surely that's hardly surprising tho... Even though 110's were designed in biblical times and Ford trucks use technology from biblical times the materials and construction processes should make the F150 feel like a Bentley compared to a 110.

The expy came back from the dealers after the day 2 fry up feeling a whole lot better though they did say nothing was wrong, yeh right. I think there may be a Cheshire triangle upgrade for the Sync so it can actually understand proper English Mrs Tock has not managed to get the fuel consumption on the F150 below an all time best of 32 L/100 kms but she does have lead stilletos Cant wait to get back out of India and give it a proper scud about The Raptor is a weapon commander however I like the F150 Falcon much better and that was another 90K for 60 BHP which was pushing it too far. The Raptor was another 170K over the price of the 360 BHP one I got so reckon it was a bargain. Raptor and Falcon share the same 6.2L engine but nothing else |

I'm not having a go at them, I'm a fan of landies, I'm just saying they are rubbish on the road and off road they aren't as versatile as a modern SUV which may not be as good in certain conditions but when taking many different conditions into account they perform consistently better. Landies do their job and as a agricultural 4x4 they are hard to beat. However, comfort, reliability, economy and refinement are certainly not words you would associate with them. |

A bit like Wranglers. The old man still has his N-reg one, I learnt to drive in it and it was great fun but **** having that for an everyday car. Out here as well...why bother? stop start on SZR with a manual and a horrible clutch position? People are mental.
