Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and while I am sure some enjoy it, my main objection to it is based on size. I’m 6’4” and can’t imagine being comfortable in it. I am sure it’s fun and others, presumably you, really like it but it’s just not my cup of tea. I find the styling unappealing as well. That’s the problem…

I bought my GMC Typhoon off my Dad in 2006 and after numerous issues, decided to totally restore it. Several tens of thousands of pounds later and after shipping it from Saudi Arabia to London to Cornwall to Holland to the US and now back to the UK, it still has issues. A broken auto gearbox is my summer holiday plan.

B…

I have a 92 Typhoon my Dad bought back in Saudi Arabia in 1992 and also a 1991 Syclone that I saved here in the UK that I found on eBay two years ago with a blown motor.

They are a pain to get right but when they go, man, they go! My Typhoon is heavily modded though it retains a V6 and the Syclone is as close to stock…

Hideous.

Freedom machine!

Rubbish car. Disagree. No interest whatsoever!

Interesting article! Would love to see some of this stuff.

BTW “broadcasted” isn’t a word. You mean broadcast. It’s like saying livestreamed-ed. :)

You want loud? Try standing next to a Phalanx close in defence system firing. We had them in Basrah for counter mortar and rocket defence. We had test firings so you could schedule when to see them. It was like God himself rent the sky asunder.

Nobody has pulled an engine until they have. Well done. I remember my first foray into working on cars. It gets addictive! Good luck!

Amazing how we can get attached to things we have never owned and are basically lumps of metal. I agree, poor engine.

I went to a steel mill once. Have you ever been? I recommend it. They had giant cables of carbon to stick into a crucible which then used electric current to melt the steel. There were bunches of cables about 18” thick and the induced magnetic field made them bounce around like crazy when the current flowed.

Sorry to be picky but 1.1G is a measurement of acceleration. F = MA so the statement is both numerically and scientifically incorrect.

I’d like to also add that if you only use front stands or a ramp or something, chock the damned car.

Now I am not so sure, given the scale...

I am (was) TOW qualified on Lynx and it never made a bang anywhere near as big as that.

Sorry for the breakdown, such a PITA. However, two things come to mind. Firstly, did you not consider going to a Hummer forum and trying to see what might be the cause? As and exotic/rare care owner, would you not have preferred to fix it yourself? A dodgy starter is pretty bread and butter and the write up of you…

Doesn’t this just mean that it was a nice warm day and the demand for power was low? It still seems that on really cold days, wind can’t possibly provide the power needed. When you factor in the costs of erecting the turbones, their narrow range of use and the difficulty in load balancing, this is a good story but…

Wingover, wingover, GO!
