Test drive Jeep Wrangler 1996 - 2006 SUV
I will call like a roof like a roof
In general, let it be like this: Cook and Zyp. Gently, gently, touching. They are! Cook is Peugeot 307CC: we cut the Cabilet compartment, remove the hyphen. Cook! Zhypa is Jeep Wrangler Sport. Dzhipik, jeephushka, jeepusik. Zhapa!In its own way, it is harmonious, agree. And what to live, write with and we are in the know. And still a bust. The original car is the original pronons!
Each of these cars is amazing. Of course, they are completely different. But both are completely summer! Therefore, we collected them under the roof of one material. What for? Well, firstly, they are both open and cheerful, fervent. Wonderful weather, good road, a high -quality girl nearby and the sky above her head. Here it is, happiness! In general, if anyone wants a convertible, then please! Both cars show a diametrically opposite approach to creating a machine for summer. Therefore, even in our thoughts we have no desire to compare Cook and ZhPu. But there is another desire to understand what bizarre forms can take autonudism.
And what about? But what: we both liked these cars in absentia. So why not invent a reason to take them to ride? And we invented, and rolled. So, notes about the roofs.
Be a man
In general, in the production range of PEUGEOT there are SS of different sizes: SS smaller (number 206) and SS larger (307). PEUGEOT 206CC, of \u200b\u200bcourse, is cool, but too toy, girlfriend. I would like to immediately spray such a car with perfumes and, having launched some charming blonde into the salon, catapult in the city on the sequencies of men. From the 307th it is more difficult. On the one hand, reading in the Russian transcription of the letter of the SS, accompanying the two -faced PEUGEOT, it seems like an unequivocally indicates that the machine is oriented to a beautiful floor. Nevertheless, the majority of the Cabiolet coupe from among the already met in the city were equipped with uncles of varying degrees of languor. Apparently, CC’s performance in WRC is doing his job: a man at the wheel of cuckoo walks boldly.
As for Wrangler, everything is clear with him: pour homme in its purest form. If you climb under the hood, then there you can certainly find a special tetam for testosterone by the owner of the giru should be in abundance. Since we climbed under the hood, by the way, is still good that we: Actually, anyone can get acquainted with the content of the engineering space. Being brave, it is very simple to do it: it’s enough to jerk the fasteners along the edges of the lid and here it is, the engine! Is it possible to somehow protect the motor? Perhaps the dealer will tell you the right solution. We, having examined the theoretically possible place for fastening of the Lock, have examined the unprofessional-criminal gaze, we came to the conclusion that only Uncle Stepa’s bars will not be able to stick a hand between the rods of the radiator. Because he is a policeman! So do not be surprised if in the morning you find next to the radiator of a peacefully sleeping Senbernar. He accidentally, he did not want. He just chased after a cat and got lost.
Be cooler!
It is time to measure the roofs. Whose cooler? Cookies, of course, have a tougher roof. But he is younger! The bug is almost a pensioner already, although the elixir of youth and numerous plastic surgery allow the car not only to seem cheerful, but also to be such. Meanwhile, his story was written not yesterday: in fact, the current Wrangler is a derivative of Willys from the Second World War. A whole era!
Becoming open in nature, 307ss is drawn inside itself, like a turtle tail. You can imagine yourself a prestidizer and, having gained the audience more likely, arrange a focus session. Viger with a magic button OP! And the roof literally appears from nowhere. Real, iron, with paintwork and the most natural glass. OP! And at the same time with the roof of Peugeot, a trunk appears. Isn't it a miracle?
Wrangler has a roof also stored in the trunk, but in a more crumpled form. Matter allows this. Zyp is cooler in the other: if the Cookies have only one roof (lonely), then this can be twice as much. Seriously! Hard Top is sold separately, and also separately spends the summer days in a gloomy garage: the roof for the roof is the desirable attribute for the owner of the zypa. Another cool: installing a hard plastic top on Wrangler once and for all develops a command spirit. This exercise is beyond the power. Together there are already more chances. But it will be best to figure it out for three and faster and more fun. For Komsomol members, who are nowhere without difficulties, it is.
To call the roof on the Peugeot, a regular ignition key is enough. And Jeep will require a wrench that will have to tighten the bolts with which the hardtop is screwed to the sides of the body. The ignition key is not needed.
On this about the roofs we finish.
Be healthy!
Both machines can provoke a premature visit to the sorry sorry, to the Aisculaup. For example, to a psychiatrist. Say, Wrangler easily produces the wrong idea of \u200b\u200bthe carriageway, which suddenly suddenly expands due to the dividing stripes, sidewalks. Borders and medium -sized fences cause a condescending smile, touched. Or now: it seems that otherwise ahead of the low -command one can be overtaken without going around. So thinking is harmful, but for the rest of the participants in the movement it is insulting. Dangerous symptoms! If you do not warn, do not prevent, then you can earn a mania of greatness and become, say, Caesar or some other Napoleon.
Peugeot is a fertile ground for narcissism. You begin to like yourself, to feel your attractiveness more acutely. Just like that, almost out of the blue. As a matter of fact, there is only one reason for this, but it is provided: it’s not just that all those around them suddenly begin to pay attention to you? The feeling of its own beautifulness grows exponentially every minute.
In addition, both cars will quickly send you to Otorinolaryngologist with a pulmonologist taken together. Alternating trips with the air conditioning on high speed under the scorching rays of the sun and inhalation with the irregular exhaust trucks somewhere in the Vitebsky Prospekt area, you will very soon be able to feel all the care and affection of the Ministry of Health.
Be fast!
In fact, on the Cook, that on a bug is equally pointless to drive. No one will see, admire, will not let the envious saliva. No, for sure: stop driving! Moreover, the pleasure of driving on these cars is in no way connected with speed, yeah.
Wrangler champion in unusual feelings. You should close the door carefully differently in the best traditions of order protection you will get a pen on the liver. But now you can safely rely on the door: it will gently cling to you all the way.
When turning, unusual sensations multiply. The specifics of the sewing layout is such that the driver, contrary to the elaborated habit for years, is closer to the rear axle of the machine. And when you twist the steering wheel, the car begins to rotate around you. Ouch.
And Wrangler is constantly jumping with a goat even on even asphalt. Talent! So you go in an embrace with the door, bouncing and spinning a wolf.
Blue Cook with a noble white-kozhny salon and automatic is also not a racer. Roll up Nevsky, look behind the Baltic, wash yourself in the resort. Then return the roof to the place and go to work calmly all week. This is still not a rally car. Even if you put the sprayers red and wider on the SS (which, as you know, increase the maximum speed by 20 km/h), then the Cook can still compete with the subars. Not him.
