I know the owner of the Orange SS, he owns a tyre shop out the back of Billericay in Essex, that Ute has had an easy life as he was always scared of opening it up and giving it some beans.

It would be my choice out of any of the ones you have posted.

Orange one but to be honest I would have neither, v8 manual only here!

The orange one. The first owner was a business partner of the previous owner of our white one (if you can follow).

Bodes well for the value of ours.

V8 one yes I would I'm not overly bothered by the auto nice to have a bit of a change with the gearbox

Why would you want a Ute to begin with?

(Genuine question)

So that you can refuse to give people lifts without insulting them.

I would want £8k change off the v8 & about £12k off the V6 , way way to much

[vxr2010]

I agree with Raving prices are a bit steep , I like the v8 car and colour as I think a bit of mad colour fits the car, I would have preferred mine in a bright colour but it's too much to change it wether it's wrapped or painted , but for me v8 with a nice exhaust job done ... Plus cheaper lol

Why not?

[blue666uk]

Would love a Ute, but cannot afford the premium for the lesser practicality.
Plus I've not seen one with a baby car seat welded to the boot liner yet

That is so cool

[Gary H 2008]

Because it's a commercial vehicle, albeit one that doesn't particularly do it's job that well?

If someone put a V8 in a Mitsubishi L200 and made it rear wheel drive, would that make it cool?

Sorry, just don't get the fascination

I wonder myself sometimes. In truth, I can't say that it's because the Ute has a 750kg load capacity, as Mrs Araf won't let me use it for load-lugging, and anyway, we'd then have to find somewhere for the rear deck.

Ange liked the Mf Maloo when she first saw it, but it then took another 3 years for the planets to align (or all circumstances to be right) before we got the Ute.

I have asked her if she wants a GenF, but she doesn't want to change.

Who knows how a woman's mind works.
