Hmm... not sure where my local Jeep dealers is. This sounds like fun. Fuel bills must be astronomical, what's the mpg? Or is more like gpm?

You should be a Jeep salesman, MDP!

WAV file sounds fantastic. Hmm... I'm not doing much this weekend, might give my local dealer a quick ring. I am trying to cut down on fuel usage, so no way it's a good buy for me but sounds worth a play!

Get this.

So I was booked in to drive the SRT on Sat and quite looking fwd to it. Was also going to take in some Skodas too - A4/A6/Allroad/Q7. Jeep dealer just phones me:

Dealer: "I'm afraid we'll have to postpone your session on Saturday, Mr Shmoogle"....
Me: "Oh?"
D: "I'm afraid you wouldn't want to see it in it's current form"
Me: "Ah... "
D: "Someone took it for a drive and the next time we saw it is was in pieces on a back of a lowloader"
Me: (stifling laughter) "Oh dear... well, when can I see another one?"
D: "There aren't many around I'm afraid so we'll need to ship one in from somewhere"

Looks like I'll have to wait until the end of the month now apparently...

It obviously bit back

Ouch - must have been a poor driver but...........................

This is what Andrew Frankel [ times ] had to say

Why becomes clear only on the road, where it appears to have no suspension at all. I drove along B-roads like I was crossing a minefield, jinking around potholes before those vast 20in rims crashed in and set off what sounded like a series of small explosions in the car.

But if you hunt out smoother, quicker roads, it’s an accomplished high-speed tourer. The gearbox may have only five speeds, but with so much torque you rarely need it to change. A squeeze on the throttle is all it takes to send the speedo soaring. And while the cabin is a mess, the driving position is commanding and the view imperious.

There’s no escaping the truth: the SRT-8 is flawed, pointless and reprehensible. I liked it.
