Thread: New 110 CC ute?

Sounds to me like a Crewcab conversion to your county would be a better option if really wanting a 110 CC

Works for me

Spend 10-15k on the county and it will last longer than any new one at 60k.

you could crew cab your county for under 3k, but why bother unless its for tax purposes.

If you think it drives different to a defender, look me up when your in sydney next, i will take you for a spin. I would say my one would be quicker than a defender (stock tdi and td5, although i have never driven a poo-ma), It steers and stops the same (defender steering wheel does wonders), and would be as quiet, if not quieter.

I am not fond of the new dash either. i thought it would grow on me, but it hasnt. Mabe in a few moe years.

If i had unlimited budget, an 07 defender with a flat grill, turbo isuzu and tdi style dash. Hang on, i pretty much have one of them already

Dobbo, your 110 is as gutless as they come.... put a turbo on it then maybe you can talk about pulling power....

Ive driven enough gutless NA isuzu's to know i would never want one....

Technically its not a 110 ute, Correct me if iam wrong but i thought the definition of a Ute, ( in the 4x4 world ) was a a vehicle of some sort. with a separate rear body? The 110 CC is all one section...

I like the fact it's a 110 ute

but

I don't like the Poxy Puma, it would have been better used as a ceiling fan motor in a far away sewage treatment plant. Let's face it compared to the engine in my 110 the puma has about as much pulling power as a homeless man at a miss universe contest.

I don't like the dash, It's plastic and Fordish in appearance. Series III had more style. The body and trim are cheap and shoddy in comparison to my nearly 25yr old county, lack of galved trim and gutters? No Sals at the rear or comfy seats. It has anti stall, but so does my Isuzu (it's called a compression and low gearing).

I don't know why I looked at one, come on Puma owners convince me why I should step out of a suzi and into a new one?

Is it true the name Puma came from a very early owner wearing out a pair of Puma shoes walking to and from the dealers for warrantee work?

Yeah - great pics John - it's a myth that the Puma's engine is somehow inadequate - and I'd take my Defender anywhere too - and have.

WGAF?


I can put the kids in the seats and stuff in the tray, thats a ute.


Next you'll be telling me my old Valiant wasn't a ute due to the same reason.

I have figured out what the County has that the Puma hasn't.

DB you are correct, if I had a flash new Puma I would not take it offroad.

My County has a low dollar value

With this comes the ability to belt up every panel and only have a ****ed off wife, not an ex wife

The ability of, if it ever broke catastrophically, just leave it there where it stands and catch the next available transportation home.

On top of this there are a lot of components on the early 110's and county's that are built a lot better than on today's vehicles.

The new ones don't come in poo brown, black would suffice, the turdis II doesn't sound right and darky is a tad too politically incorrect to sit in my works car park.

Puma drivers who will take the cars anywhere this is an image of the easy section of Sawpit rd a few weeks ago,

I accept the challenge when are we going?

You mean one of these??? If so very nice, but still a car with the back chopped off....
