    After I measured it up, I realized I'd have nowhere to sit. Was thinking of mid mounting it and connecting the box directly to the axle :pac::pac::pac:

    Unless I got another one and made a limo edition from the 2, it ain't a goer.... :o

    Evening all, just wondering has anyone here ever heard of a car company which make a electric car its F.... and its not Ford or Fiat, The car looks like a Ferrari, pure beast of a car, i couldnt believe it was electric but it was the driver drove past he pulled into a car space and hooked it up to the electric pump. Dont speak dutch so didnt ask him but the pics i took are a little off focus.

    Seeing as I can't get the other truck I wanted (the f350) landed for less than €5k I've decided to look elsewhere.

    And found an interesting 1983 v8 diesel GMC blazer for sale in the UK.
    Sent the guy an email about it, depending on what happens I could fly over to it. Listed at €3k, and since it is an 83 , no big VRT or tax. (and don't have to worry about commercial tax)

    Same thing I needed the first one for :P

    This one is the opposite of the other. v8 Diesel instead of petrol, manual instead of auto, and pre 83 for cheap tax :P

    Trying not to get too carried away too soon but at this price it is a steal.
    €3k is much less than I could land an equivalent from the US.
