Title: Mercades G wagons are second after 90's
Post by: Axle on June 05, 2004, 22:11:04: What does everyone have against G wagons .I think they are brilliant .The only reason I,d prefer a Defender is parts availability .Other than that they look nearly identical outside .And allthough I had never the pleasure of being inside one I am told that they look cracking inside .I know that the Russians modify them heavily for compition so why dont we . :?: :?: :?: :?:

Is there anybody who owns or who knows someone that owns a G wagon :?: :?:

I guess youre right .
But they really do go like the clappers . :wink:
I was overtook by one doing about 75 miles an hour [ish] :shock:
Im not an expert but Im thinkin ,you'd have to be really trying to get that out of a bog standerd defender .

But I suppose a Defender is not about on road performance
