Default My new motor!!

Here it is...



OK - I only have it for a few weeks and the roads over here are a bit wider. I feel like a Special Agent driving around and other cars certainly give it a wide berth! *













* This could be due to tourist style

It's a Chevy Suburban - de riguer in the upper echelons of law enforcement in the US.

We asked for a black one with pimp tints - you could clearly see the Alamo guy give the special signal to all his mates - we got one, we got one. Indeed from that moment on we were treated like royalty (as in inbred and 'special' to actually hire one of these things).

We were offered a white one or a black one. The white one you can see from space.

PS I actually wanted a Dodge Camaro but it was too small for all the luggage and they didn't do them in Bumblebee colours!

Yeah - but it only seems to work on pimps, lowlifes, drug dealers and car jackers!

The H2 & Tahoe are the same "car" underneath. We had a Mustang Convertable when in Cali a few years ago, was awesome driving down the 101 from San Fran to Monteray, then out to Flagstaff. It all came to a sticky end when we got a puncture & the ca was replaced with a 300c - utter pap!

Just move to Lakenheath / Mildenhall. You'd fit right in.

I'd love a yank tank pickup, even in this country.

You mean Chevy Camaro. Dodge makes the Challenger.

Oi - pi** off!!!

I meant the Chevy Camaro - they are lovely in the flesh - not as huge as I thought.

Would it be madness to swap the GT3 for one?!
