A French Hummer Fan !!

08-29-2005, 07:27 AM

Hello Everybody.

It's my first mail on this forum, and i would like to apologize for my english because i am French...
I live in Paris, and i am a hummer fan.
The H3 will be sold in France next month i think, and i dream to by one next year.
Because of the money, i only will be able to buy a base package, or maybe an adventure package, but i don't understand all the differences between both...
Is the base package good to drive on road, and only a few times in country? Or do i have to buy the adventure pack in any cases ?
Moreover, do you have photos of the standard steering wheel, because the leather one is only sold with the luxury package ?

Thanks for all, and Best Regards from Paris !!

Don't mean to start a political discussion here... but France wasn't a "lone" voice against the war. Germany was against it too... which was one reason for me to be proud to be a German. War for oil sucks big time!

And to stick to your words: People who do not raise their voice against senseless acts of war deserve the term "PUSSIES!" way more than people who love peace and are ready to consequently stick to their principles and believes.

Yah if this is a war for oil,then why is gas over $3 a gallon?, why diden't we just take over the oil fields? I hate it when people say it is a war for oil, that is absolutely ridiculous!

How about War for Energy! Does that sound better?

History has shown is that wars have been fought over much less.

No, I didn't miss the point. I just don't understand the personal attack against a person that is expressing their enthusiasm for the H3 on this forum. Because the country of France made a decision that they would not back this war does not speak for all of the people of France. This is an H3 Forum, there are other arenas/forums for these discussions. I don't think French Hummer Fan posted to "upset" the members of this board or to start a political France bashing.

It's not an "attack", you sniveling worm. We'll be sure to PM you when/if it elevates to an "attack". Until then go grow a spine & a ball sack and put some testicles in it.

Thanks, but don't PM me. I'm not interested in anything you have to post. I hope your 9500+ posts to date, have offered up a little more than I've seen posted here by you in the last couple of months. Maybe you need to find something else to do with ALL of your free time instead of hanging around here...do you even own an H3? You can continue with your "childish" name calling, etc. Hope you get your "rocks (in your case, pebbles) off", I won't be responding to your posts.

I once saw Batman on French T.V. and It was the most funniest **** I have ever seen. To see Adam West and having a french guy speaking over his voice and the French dude sounded like a French Capt. Kirk with dramatic pauses and melodramatic verses. The only thing he did'nt say was KAAAHNN!!! or SPPPPOooock!!

Well... as I pointed out before: France wasn't the only European nation to be against the war. Germany was against it too and wasn't supportive at all. So why make jokes about France, but not about Germany?

And about the picture above: You US guys were just lucky that there's so much water between the statue of liberty and Berlin. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Hello Everybody,

i am very shocked about all these messages.
Some people should think and make inquiries before talking...

I am happy that some other hummer fan are shocked.
What do administrators think about this ??

In France, people who want to buy a Hummer are Generaly people who love the US, and it's my case...

Take care.

Please don't take the thoughtless posts of a few on this board too seriously Sebastien. Come to this forum and use it for what it was intended to be, a resource for H3 Owner's/Owner's to be. Hope to see you continue to post here.

To try to answer your original question, you only need the Adventure Package if you are planning to do alot of offroad driving. For everyday driving and occasional offroading you do not need the Adventure Package, the Base Package is more than sufficient.

To see the interiors go to www.hummer.com (http://www.hummer.com) or www.lynchhummer.com (http://www.lynchhummer.com) and they have plenty of pics of interiors, including the steering wheel.

Thanks for your nice answer !!

I love Hummer, anf i Love the US too.

I hope someone will simply answer to my request.
A base H3 is a good hummer, or it's better to choose the adventure pack ?

For the moment, i hesitate because of the fuel because in France it's more expensive than in the US...

Thanks !!

The base H3 is a good, solid Hummer. That said, that adventure package makes for a better Hummer. The real question is how often will you be going offraod and what will you be doing? If you rarely or only occasionally go offroad, the base H3 will probably be fine.

Don't let the monkeys get to you--they are just compensating for their diminished manhood. France kicks ass. I spent a few months in Nice and Paris. I can't say much for the politics, but the people and the country are great.

Welcome to the forum, Sebastien. Many of us Americans have some serious issues with the French and German govt's, not the citizens. Just like many of you have a problem with our govt. You're sure to love the H3. Originally posted by H3'er:

Welcome French Hummer Fan. I think you will love the H3 no matter what model you get. Sounds to me that you will find the Base model will work great for your needs. If you are planning on doing anything more serious than going through some field, mud or back country roads than you might want to look at the adventure.

Welcome French Hummer Fan. I think you will be happy with any of the H3 configurations, but if you are confined to city driving, you should consider the lux.

Don't pay attention to the flames you are receiving. These people will be sorry when America can no longer import French Fries, French Toast, French Dressing, French Ticklers, French Bread and Frog Legs.

I doubt it. BTW- "French" toast, fries and a few other "French" things were lifted from other places.

And why would you want a Lux over an Adventure for city driving? The difference is negligible- I've driven both.
