Well, i havent been on in awhile, the whole korea and moving thing gets in the way haha. I ended up selling Red Ranger to my wifes dad. Live in lakenheath england now and get to downgrade to a fiesta ugh. Looks like im going to register my raptor 350 as a second vehicle though :icon_hornsup: seen some diesel rangers but those are pretty expensive even the older ones. hoping a land rover or diesel ranger is in my future sometime..... haha definatly slow by how expensive EVERYTHING is. stupid value added tax:sad:
 
Is the Fiesta so bad?

Get a landrover! my dad has a 1997 that he swapped in a 300 TDI from britain. Slow as Hell but gets 24 mpg and will crawl up anything!

ahhhhhhhhhhhh...what people won't do for their Country....(not only being sent across the world--but having to drive a go-cart too!) Glad yoy...yoo...you kept the Ranger in th family!

So, you're telling us in military code that Value-added-tax isn't something that we want our brigght politicians to think about???

Be safe...now-a-daze, being a soldier means being ready for anything...
 
The Fiesta is a good car, especially that ralley version! Ha. But I'm sure the economy putter you are driving sucks...

Geez, I still wish we got the diesel here in America...

So, when are you gonna post up those pics of the Raptor? :icon_hornsup:
 
It is interesting most roads are 60mph, you rele dont want to do that in normal cars though. and yea ken block's fiesta is sweet too haha. and her dad didnt really want the truck he wants to trade it for a jeep.......no cool...... and they drive on the left cause their sword hand is their right hand haha (if you are a lefty the would have burned you as a witch or warlock).
It will be awhile for the raptor.... gotta get a horn and blinkers and mirrors before it is road worthy plus it is still on the way here (and for those guests it is not a ford raptor version of the f-350 ((it would be sweet though))just a regular yamaha).....

What does petrol cost over there now? I've not been home for a couple of years but it was around 98p a liter the last time I was there.

Get some lights, a speedo, and get her up to 65 and I'd sticker it for street use.
 
Are you living on base or off base? I miss living in England. I went to Feltwell for middle school and Lakenheath for high school.
 
By a tank and put rubber padded tracks on it, they are street legal over there with the right license.
 
I'll be driving a 323 soon. I bought it a few years ago, fixed it up, and decided I liked my escort better, so I gave the 323 to my sister. She didn't really drive it, and it has more or less sat around and collected rust. Seeing as how my only vehicle is my Navajo, and it's got too aggressive a tire (can't hear my radio so well on pavement) for my current daily commute, I'm taking the 323 back. It's a small automatic shitbox, but we all make sacrifices. I need a second vehicle for when I swap my SUV body for a Ranger single cab anyways.
 
I was at Mildenhall for 3 yrs. You know the round about there on the road leading to Mildenhall front gate, I drifted around it 3 times in a Silvia that was my friends. Needless to say I never drove it again bc he crapped his pants while I was doing it.

Not sure what it costs in town still getting the driving down since i rented a rt hand drive manual car.... I dont look at much other than the road quite yet.

I'm living off base in the bury. Nice place, a pain to find anything without directions durn winding roads. I'm actually stationed on lakenheath.

running off the road wouldnt be a problem in the winter but they might frown on it in the town (not that the police could shoot at you:thefinger: and gas might get abit pricey

Yea i know that one.... i yelled at it the whole time around it cause it took me 30 mins to find going from lakenheath to mildenhall cause it was my first time out driving.......:annoyed:
