140km/h on Parramatta Rd? As the Avalanche is not a "real" 4WD would have been an interesting ride for sure!

Yeah "Pete" it was flying, parramatta rd towards paramatta after the turn off to the M4, the roads get wider and there are less cars.

actually, completely by coincidence obviously, one was following me on my way home yesterday....they are big mothers.....140km/h???? :shock: :shock:

Hope he didn't take corners at that speed.....he would toppled quicker than u could say XUV.... :?

Ahahah, rough guess but he chopped past me in a flash.
Was the number plate of the one yesterday like CGS 7? Something custom like that.

I own an RTV which is Fords answer to the XUV or adventra. Anyway you would be suprised at the handling as it's pretty good. Although it's higher it is fortunate enough to not look like a brick plowing through the air like a typical 4x4!

Put an RTV and an XUV beside eachother.
the XUV not only jacked, but it is HUGE.
where as an RTV is pretty much a jacked ute (no offence, good vehicles imo).

the XUV is like a storey higher than the RTV

and would you believe how many people get XUV's and avalanches from RUF and get them lowered before they pick them up??????

yeah isn't the height sposed to be part of the attraction? because they are off-road vehicles......hence the height; so lowering would be missing the point.....

(sorry kirssn if i've just restated wat u said.....)

nah i agree with you so does Mick, we cant understand why they buy them then drop on their guts to put it bluntly, which is exactly what they do.....

I have seen a std commodore wgn with the Advendura body kit dumped on it's ass in melbourne and it looks great. I think he had 18's or 19's on it.
