Re: Mercedes G-class back in the UK

I absolutely love the G-Wagon, I spent a week bombing around Tokyo in a Brabus version a few years ago and totally fell for it.

The price is pretty steep though but should my numbers ever come up I'll have one in a shot!

RHD? Photoshopped more like! They haven't even got a RHD model in the country yet - the photos with Canary Wharf in the background are mirror images of the real thing. They've even airbrushed the Citi logo so that it's the right way round. Confirmed - more photos on www.netcarshow.com - there's a London bus going down the "left" side of the road, yet the driver of the G-Wagon is on the near side...
