Anyone got any experience of driving, or living with one?

How easy is it to get hold of normal servicing parts, brake pads, etc?

Who are you insured with? Any decent policies about?

For a friend, not me unfortunately!

Cheers,

Had a test drive of one of these before we bought our Hummer. Absolutely brilliant vehicles, totally impractical and a bit tricky with being left hand drive, but great fun. Being the big kid I am I sat there revving it on our drive and the sound of the supercharger was yum, the whole thing rocked from side to side. Hope your friend has a big driveway and room to turn out of it on to the road.

We insured the Hummer with Headley Insurance Services (underwritten by NIG) who are an absolute waste of space. For insurance for an American vehicle the best place to look would be related magazines, for US 4x4's, etc.

Can't comment on parts availability, but it may be worth sourcing a US 4x4 specialist importer/dealer in the UK before buying one and asking them. We found a Hummer specialist in Warrington

Thanks for that.

I guess Litchfield Imports are down the road from us, so servicing/parts could always be done by Powerstation.

Sorry for the hijack but Focusbird, are you the person who had the H1 that was recently stolen? Did you ever recover it?

Focusbird

Yes it was, and it's never been seen since

Quality vehicle if you like that thing. We had one at the BTCC in the mid 90's and used to take it around to a few of the circuits and I'd often drive it. Remember spinning it on Brands Circuit by dropping one of the rears onto the grass, the s/c kicked in and it went like a banshee. Fortunately this was before the public days, but those were the days when I used to drive the parade lap cars for Fiesta Challenge and Formula Ford (leading out on the grid etc), and we had a avriety of vehicles to do it in. My it was fun, but scary at the same time. Slightly more refined these days though - and different to most other stuff on the road.
