Funnily the dash and interior doesn't look too OTT but the grille and front make it look like a truck a spiv self employed builder in the UK or France might wanna own.

"I had a nice pointy boot, skinny leg jean with a lot of bling on the pockets, silk scarf, fedora topped outfit picked out"

Dusty, you may laugh but one US client rep from Houston called Don M_____o used to visit the worksite in Scotland dressed like that avec a stetson. When I met him in Houston, yep, he still wore the same type clothes. Admittedly this was back in the early 80's when he tied up his horse outside the offices and checked his Colts in at the reception desk

Bet he drove a PU just like that one

I guess.....I actually thought that was the only option. sadly the little 4x4 p/u with the ttv6 was a better drive. more go, less show

I think fords v6 would be a better performer, but that would make for a mean ride

Either would he great, but it is hard to beat the sound of the new Ford V8's at wide open throttle.

yeah, or save your money, get one of those giant echo chamber exhaust tip things. I will send Zach's outfit to you, before I return it.

Could I get you to send the outfit to my Sergeant Major instead, he'd think it is soo hawt!

I like the raptor but would never lay out the coin required to own one though. As for the MGB I'll keep dreaming of putting a Jag straight six in it.

That 2 tone is just more to attract kids to buy it, type of crap they put in tuner cars
