lol yea i've got a few buddys that drive fords, as i say i'm always available to tow them home when needed lol... the truck will be in a nice container on the ship on the way home and a warmer garage when i get it home eamonn

When i was younger for some reason i used to attract the attention of the Police while driving, i think it might have had something to do with the fact that i was a young person driving an American Car (then quite a rareity in the UK back then 25+ years ago lol) plus i had a habit of seeing how far i could peel out leaving big black tire marks all the way down the road, it as almost as if they didn't like the smell of burnt rubber lol.. now i'm not saying you drive like i used to but as i've got older i have been more selective where and when i do Burnouts, doughnuts or generally show off lol and as such don't get as many pulls anymore... The problem is for some reason it sounds like you've pissed off a copper and to be honest i don't know how you're gonna resolve it, if it continues i'd keep a diary of evry time you get stopped and maybe report him to his superior officer, abuse of police power in the UK is a very serious offence and i'm sure it will be the same in the USA. hope it all gets sorted quickly for you so you can enjoy your SS.. ALL THE BEST EAMONN maybe this will cheer you up? The cop got out of his car and the kid who was stopped for speeding rolled down his window. "I've been waiting for you all day," the cop said. The kid replied, "Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could." When the cop finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket.

lol i ain't no gentleman but yep you guessed it, i'm flying into Florida on wednesday to finalise the deal. Getting real excited now.. can't wait it's my dream truck, i wanted to buy as soon as i saw it, but had to wait till i'd sold my truck with that done and cash in hand i'm ready. sorry to all those who wanted the truck but it's going to a good home, and i will look after it.. Even though i'll be buying this week i won't have it back in the UK till the end of dec or early jan.. thats gonna be the hardest part the waiting all the best eamonn

I think I'm going to enjoy this site, you all sound friendly esp as I'm a Brit lol but i have been driving Chevy's for over 25 years, and spend as much time on vacation in the USA as possible, and have met some really great folks thanks to forums like this. Yea Barney Gas is a bit expensive over here about 95p per liter or £4.32 a UK gallon or $8.35 but the UK Gallon is a little bit bigger than the US one, but were taxed to death on everything here in the UK so we get used to it, we also pay Road Tax £195 ($377)per Year and have yearly inspection which costs £50.52(97.83) + any repairs and retest if it fails (i look after my truck and do preventative maintenance so i don't fail this test very often, lol) Why Thank You Kim, i guess you're a bit of a rarity a girl with a SS, but I'm all for this equality stuff Girls with trucks are cool and with fast trucks even cooler I'm gonna have to hide the keys when i get mine back in the UK or Heidi my wife will be stealing it lol... all the best eamonn

Thanks for the warm welcome Guys,I'm sure i'll enjoy it here, whats not to enjoy Chevy SS Trucks sounds like heaven to me Since I've been lurking since 04 guess its really time i became a supporting member, do i get a decal??? all the best eamonn

Hello from the UK. I've been lurking on here occasionally since way back in 2004 when i wanted to buy a SS, but at that time i couldn't afford one so just dreamed about the day i could have one and i settled with a c1500 2000 Silverado LT 5.3 Long bed which i bought on ebay and had shipped to the UK, its been my daily driver ever since and I've really enjoyed owning it... But always wanted a SS in Black coz they're faster lol Anyway My wife and I had been saving for a 5th wheel caravan and considering selling our truck and buying a 2500 or 3500 to tow it... that was until i found my way back on here, reading about all the SS's made me want one again, and my lovely wife said "What the Heck" there's nothing wrong with our regular trailer "Go for It" get a SS...So the cash we'd saved for a 5th wheeler went into the SS Fund, Then by chance on a UK forum i use someone asked whats best Chevy or Dodge, well with me being a Chevy man )for over 25 years) i replied Chevy of course, his next question was where can i Buy a Good one, Mines for sale i said and after viewing my truck a deal was done Cash i hand All i needed to do then was find my perfect SS truck, Well to cut a long story short, i am flying out to the USA on Wednesday to finalise the deal on my new truck . I 'll tell you more and post pictures as soon as it's mine. I have enjoyed reading your posts on here and will become a regular poster once I've got my own SS. Thanks for all you help (even though you didn't know i was reading lol) all the best for Now Eamonnschevy Heres a pic of my Old Chevy Truck some of you might recognise me from Chevy Truck World.
