I did however have a 2.9 sierra 4x4 but 120 miles to a tank was just not working for me The sound was epic though and it earned me a few points

The wheels on that toyota are from a Opel Manta ^^

I too had a sierra 4X4 for a week and got shot of the piece of jobby.
wheels are after markets on the sprinter , wrong stud pattern for a manta anyway

I almost got an XR4i4 or whatever it is for £350 a year back - I just didn't have the spare cash though. Are they no good then?

Ahh very similar then I added a piccy. Why didnt you like the sierra?

those wheels are identical but a manta is 4x100mm and a old toyota is the same as a prelude at 4x114.3 but same wheel i agree,
as for the 4X4 i just didn't like it 1 little bit, by the time i'd driven it home i decided i didn;t like it lol, big heavy and slow, well overated as far as im concerned

I wasnt impressed with the power output for almost a 3.0, were they 156 bhp or something? Went well enough but I did expect more. I think they aged faster than they went, the dash and the looks did not last. I did want an XR4i though, the old 2.8 RWD, they looked well, better than the face lifted Sierra

Yeah only 150 ish bhp engine and that weighed a ton on its own
