Hummer H3 to the… Mountain Rescue

Friday, February 29, 2008 | 2 comments » Categories | Hummer, Hummer H3 |

Hummer has joined forces with the UK charity organization, Mountain Rescue (England & Wales), to create a specially modified version of its H3 SUV. Mountain Rescue celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2008 and to commemorate this landmark, the newly launched right-hand drive Hummer H3 will support the charity’s busiest teams in England and Wales across the year carrying both equipment and personnel

To make the H3 more effective for Mountain Rescue, Hummer has enhanced the vehicle with a number of specialist features including grille and roof mounted spotlights to aid visibility in treacherous conditions and rocker panel protection which gives added protection to the lower body and door panels against rock strikes and other strong blows. –One more pic after the jump

If you've seen Top Gear and their mountain test, where they compared the H2, the Land Rover Discovery and the Lincoln Navigator, you just know that this will be rubbish. Plain rubbish.

And this is no anti-american car manufacturer propaganda, this is the truth!

The Top Gear mountain test was complete rubbish, not the vehicles in it. First, the cars were often going the wrong direction. Second, the driver wedged the Caddy in the ditch, not the car. Why would you decide to climb the wall of a road when you have the road to right in front of you. Third, the Hummer being stopped was pathetic. If it was indeed stuck, it was obviously a British driver because any good desert folk would know how to get of a rut. Typical British propaganda saying they are kings of the mountains when in fact GB isn't even know for any mountains.

FYI, I'm American from California desert living in Europe now.
