jcb Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Hi, saying hello from the UK from another SS owner. After having a 1985 K70 diesel chevvy for 10 years what else could my new truck be but an SS. Couldn't get one in UK, so bought a lovely 2004 Arrival Blue one from Rochester NY early April. Couldn't wait for its 'Arrival' but that was end June. We are just starting to research things like super chargers & other performance goodies for it. We've been lurking for a while and think its a great site. Perhaps better become a supporting member now! bye for now, Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eamonn, hope your's arrives closer to xmas than claser to New Year's. I'm still trying to get over a supercharged SSS in the UK. street domination.

jcb Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Thanks for the warm welcome guys Like the the bit about us leaving the UK Black & Blue, now all we need is someone to help us paint the town RED! Don't know anyone else like CHEIL with one over here Hi Eamonn, nice to have another SS buddy in the UK, guess we may be the only 2 admitting it so far! We did see another one earlier on this year but heard it was sold to Greece. We are in our local American car club, meet monthly, but only last couple of months. Went to your side of Newark on the Lincoln road, end Nov, to another club, nice Pub. think they meet again end Jan. Guy there had a genuine Dodge Indy 500 pace truck, looked same colour as ours! Plan to do a few shows next year and look forward to meeting up once you're on the road , mate Been looking at a Ridix blower but I guess I should also upgrade brakes to handle all that power. Don't know whether to go BAER or WILWOOD, any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eamonnschevy Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Brakes are stock on the SS at the moment but i'm looking into upgrading, they were OK on Floridas nice open highways but as you know UK roads ain't quite as good lol, and of course it rains a lot so a brake upgrade is on my list of first mods when it arrives, i'll let you know what i get unless you fancy a group buy and split the shipping, i've got a couple of guys who can ship for me.. good having buddys stateside.. So any other SS members in the UK??? would be good if we had a Victory red and a Silver one over here we could park up and show the full colour range lol eamonn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
