I'll have a look later, we've got one in at work right now. - Have to say, it does look cool, even if it is trying hard to be an SRT-10!

Supragal Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 Landcruiser, its the obvious choice Horsey plummy fox hunting snobs drive those I'm liking the pickup style for the ability to throw bales on hay in the back without coating the entire inside of the car with it.

tDR Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I was at an American Importers in Manchester not long ago buying a Mustang for a m8... they had in a wicked looking mid size pickup.... Dodge Dakota something or other - it had a supercharger and I think 4wd. Worth investigating? Really looked the part! Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Bauer Millett in Manchester does yank importing. He's got a few Hummers, including the yellow H2 that was on Top Gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hornet Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I have looked at the Yank ones before and they beautifal and pretty etc, but very pricey. Looked also at the UK pickups, would have to be the Nissan Navara over the Mitsi L200 warrior. Just Google the navara and you will find loads on kits for them thats look pretty damn cool IMO.

Ark Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 All I know is that SVA is supposed to be a piece of pi$$ for yank SUVs, because they already have tighter emissions laws than us (and much more so than Japan). Actually I do have more to add - saw an F150 Lightning this lunchtime. It was really big and ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 By the time you've paid all the duties, you're often better finding a 2nd hand one already in this country that's for sale. That way you get to test drive it first and you don't have all the hassle of importing it yourself. Bauer Millet aren't cheap, by the way.

Ahh well, it's nothing immediate anyway but I guess it explains why we don't see more of them about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 WHAT??? Are you broken? Well I am picking up my new specs this weekend. Maybe if I could see properly I'd realise that it's not just big and ugly, but massive and hideous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 but I guess it explains why we don't see more of them about. And the fact that most of them can only manage 10-12 mpg if you nurse them around everywhere.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Hummer... where I am at the moment, i'm surrounded by bloody Hummers, some versions are fecking huge - not the namby-pamby H2/H3's that are based on other GM trucks, the proper military versions, which run on Jet Fuel Out here they come with the optional extras - 50 cal chain gun, or 8 missile launchers mounted on the back, or the 3" amour plating...
