Pic from the UK

I thought that as I'd seen so many good pics from you guys in the US I'd try and post a UK based one - BTW our gas stations do NOT look like this!!!

I'm in Essex - you?

BTW for a light hearted look at the US scene over here hop on over to Rebel-v8.co.uk (obviously not a replacement for dedicated US sites like this - think of it like a rowdy bar where we all talk beer 'n' BS )

Cool......I have some question.....

1) You must stand out there with a truck (Lorry) like that. Not too many F-150s running around there.
2) Is it fun driving around in a left-hand-drive truck on the left side of the road?
3) Gas prices must be outrageous there.

4.6 or 5.4 engine is probably 3 or 4 times the size of a standard UK vehicle.

Plenty F150's, Lightnings & other trucks here.
Mustangs & Corvettes plus lots of 60's & 70's muscle cars.

RHD - LHD don't make no odds to true drivers here.

Yeah gas price suck bad.

My works van has a turbo diesel 1.8L (Based upon Ford Focus)
Small truck has turbo diesel 6.0L
Big work truck has 12.0L

The real pisser is the Government head up *** attitude - do as we say not as we do.

OH yeah and lack of local track is a PITA too.

Ricki will be in Mildenhall with the Lightning on April 17th getting his new ECU fitted and keys programmed.
Then it's up to Norwich for our local Rebel-V8 meet.

You are quite welcome to come along and meet the Norfolk Mafia

Watch out for a black SS who will offer to race you. I had one and I sold mine to a guy who had it shipped over there via boat.

It is AWD and had a Radix with converter, built tranny,etc... on it and felt faster than my lightning until about 30mph or so (when the weight kicked in on it and a Lightning gets traction ). He did tell me fuel was a killer over there but sent me some awesome chocolates!!

You must be talking about Eamonn.
If so Adam just took him at Santapod a few weeks ago in his lightly modded
HD.

If you go onto to the Rebel-V8.co.uk site there is some video from the day and lots of photo's about the event with Eamonn crowing about his new truck.
They will both get backsides whipped if they line up against me Street or Strip - Wet or Dry
"The Munch" takes no prisioners - JDM power Screwed by Whipple & Trans by BTS.

Nice clean truck that SS and the quality of the work looked good too.
The sort of truck owed by someone in the Legal Business
