Hummer lookalike
If it's as wide as a real Hummer it won't fit down our street.
yours, Pete.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Yes, it is indeed dimensionally identical to a real Hummer. I am the plans designer of this.

Alan B:
Thanks for the compliment. The business is still quite young as far as plan sales to date. No formal advertising yet (June issue of Kitcar magazine
will have my first advert), and so far considering only word of mouth sales have been pretty good. Hoping for more sales once the "word"
gets out.

That would be pretty cool, turn up to a race meeting or trackday, open up the rear doors, slide a ramp out and drive your locost out!

Don't know how often you get to see Hummers in the UK, but they are very imposing in the flesh....
I like them in a "two fingers up to the PC brigade" kind of way....

I don't think any of our roads are wide enough to take them are they?
You need a police escort to take up two lanes of a motoway!

Now that I like!
Who needs roads anyway?! Just drive the thing to your destination "as the crow flies". And road rage from Beemer drivers would be a thing
of the past!
That kit (and its Dopelganger the Hummer)has to be the hardest looking vehicle ever. Most of us would probably look like arses getting out of it
though.
Perhaps i need more steroids in my diet.

The latest version, the H2 is available in the UK and is slightly smaller...only 81.2" wide....
I think Mark summed them up well.....they are hard...
Over here they make Jeeps look like tiny, puny things...

I wonder how much an ex Gulf War 2 Hummer would cost?!
A few of the news correspondants used them as backdrops, instead of the night shy in Baghdad (obviously better than shrapnel in the back of the
skull).
A dregde of the internet is calling!

Alan,
Going from your last post, they do appear to be awfully common, given the number for sale:-)
Thomas,
Like it, but as others have said, very impractical in the UK (road sizes generally bit narrow - s'why I ride a bike:-) ).
However, have you thought of selling the brake press plans separately. I'm sure a few might be interested, if the price was right!
Hope your venture is a success.
ATB
