Howaya Lads (+ Lassie)
Was at a very good wedding at the weekend.
Some very nice vehicles on show (with hats and dresses) - also some
very nice vehicles on show (the ones that burn diesel)
Anyway - was having the craic with a few lads and got top gear buzz
going.
Got the keys of 2 brand new machines - a Range Rover Vogue + an Audi
Q7
Here's my 2 cents worth on them ...
Engine:
Vogue: 3.7ltr V8 petrol - twin Turbo. Auto. Very very fast through all
the speeds. Pulled 120miles an hour and loads more in the tank.
Q7: 3.0 Ltr Turbo Diesel. Quick. Nice auto gear box that turns
trip-tronic with the flick of a switch. Race car fast. Only got a
hundred on the same stretch of road.
Handling:
Vogue: Nice high driving position. Air suspension works a treat. You
dont need to slow into corners. Feels like you're gliding on air. Brakes
worked very nice.
Q7: Good but couldn't help thinking of the Nissan Almera I drove
recently. Low driving position. Big doors. Feels a bit crampted.
Gadgets:
Vogue: Lots of buttons for different road conditions. Great
entertainment system - including TV's and all sorts. Cream Leather
Interior. Posh.
Q7: Unbelievable. Millions of buttons. Boss speakers - top class.
Satelite TV and Audio system that left the vogue at the starting blocks.
No leather seats. Nothing that hints at any off road ability.
Which one would I get if I had 100K to blow.....
Well anything that has 2 turbos wins the day every time!
Cheers
