It’s difficult not to have a soft spot for the Hummer H2. Following in the enormous footsteps of the gargantuan H1, the H2 wasHummer/General Motor’s attempts to make (ahem) a more civilised urban cruiser. This despite its military-spec origins.
And it seemed to work. Many quickly stumped up the $60,000-ish asking price – including the Governator of California – and soon cities were visibly shaking as wave after wave of the former-armed forces vehicle rolled through.
Very soon, no stag do was complete without a stretched H2.
Yep, you’ve got to love the Hummer, simply because it is completely ridiculous!
In the Middle East, we’re no stranger to examples of this brute. But while the Hummer could never be described as ‘subtle’ (on average, the mobile edifice measures nearly seven-feet both tall and wide and weighs a portly 3000kg), this example from Omanis one of the more outlandish we’ve seen in a while.
These for instance are 30-inch alloys. Let’s just put that into context: that’s six more than the Ford Mustang we discovered outsideLiving Classics recently, nine more than the Audi S8 we were escaping in, and a full 13 more than the Ford SVT Raptor.
Now we’re all for customisation at crankandpiston as you know, and we’re not averse to the sinful black intermixed with chrome look being exhibited on stonking great wheels.
It’s just that we’re more used to seeing it on a Harley Davidson.
