My Truck
« on: March 16, 2009, 03:31:37 »
I can drive in 4 months....


Went down to the dealer, truck was awesome, we walked out with the keys...

2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT, 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel

Has a paint scratch on the rear bumper, backup light fuse is blown (easy fix) and that is about all that is wrong with it, got it down to 9995. Drove it home. Needs a oil change...

Tires are about 50%, doesn't seem to have been in a crash, alignment is great! It rides like a lexus!

Anyway, dark now but here are some pics to keep you busy.

Nice set of wheels Austin ;D

I'm curious though, what sort of rules do they have in the States as regards to when/how you can get your lisence?

I know that, here in the UK (And Ireland) You have to be 17 to drive on public roads and you have to have a provisional licence. I know the rules to differ when it comes to Moped's though (Do you call them that in America?)

Jack :) ;D

You know fred, there are other ways to brake the love, instead of illegally driving a car, but I'm not going to mention those methods since it's probably against the forum rules

Haha, those Peel P50's are lovely little things, I remember seeing one or two at a show once, they originally came from the Isle Of Man as far as I'm aware.

Very nice, I'd love to have one myself, I'd imagine they are rather expensive to buy, Not sure how many are left!
