wow

Looks sweet. Question though....how in the christ do you keep that thing on the road there???? When I go down to Aruba, my rental tracker gets loose, especially when you get those ten second rain storms. Different road materials???? Could never picture driving my truck down there.

There was a silver L at the ford dealer when i was down there. My girlfriend thought I was a little too excited about seeing it though.....

Watch out for meguiers.... it will put a fog in the paint.

WTF are you talking about - foging paint ...?

You probably laid it on to thick - small amounts - small amounts

You have one HELL of a place you live at there. It's Completely beautiful.

I loved those pics so much, any chance you can e-mail me a set of 1280x1024 or better yet 1600x1200 pictures of the truck?

wein@charter.net

thanks if you can.

My truck is blue...wax and photos make it look black. 10,000 cruise ship passengers a day...yeah, it's nice.

Who cares about the truck...give me some of that warm tropical air!

My buddy is living in St. Kitt's, not many nice vehciles there...but it looks like you have the best of both worlds.
Unlike St. Kitts Cayman has no mountains and all our roads are pretty flat. There are 4 other Lightnings here and 1 ferrari...and a bunch of BMWs, Benzes etc.

Cayman probably has the best infrastructure in the Caribbean and all our roads are tar. The fastest our speedlimit is, is 50. I'll have to take a few pictures of our roads. Aruba is a few hundred miles South of us and get a lot more rain.

I don't know what's nicer, the L or where you live.
i went to aruba last year. Rented a ninja 600 and tore up the island. I don't think i spent one day on the beach. The island is only like 20 by 3 miles in size, but it makes NY look like hell on earth. Theres not an L owner in the north that isn't jealous of you right now .
