New toy

[Big Mouse]

Not got any photos as yet - it was snowing - but I've finally had the time to sort out a pickup and been out today and bought myself a 2003 Ford F150 Harley Davidson 100th Anniversary Special Edition in black with a full option list.

Incredibly clean with only a couple of small marks which are being attended to along with the fitting of a Ford genuine parts tow bar chassis fitment instead of the standard in-step fitting.

The previous owner had also fitted a DVD and playstation with built in headrest screens so I need a chaffeur

Picking it up next week so I'll take some piccies then

If anyone wants a two year old A6 in very good nick?........

Sweet!

Sounds a beast! Is that the one with the supercharger?

[Big Mouse]

The silver and black looks pants imho and alters the shape of the vehicle, the black is so much better

The pickup offers the versatility I need and the price was so good I couldn't turn it down.

Trouble is they drive like crap

My mate has a 59 reg black Animal whatever pickup, it has all the toys and he pays next to nothing company car tax, but the ride & noise levels are dreadful

But if I had the money I'd have a Yank one for taking the crap to the tip etc

They are what they are; a workhorse - I don't think its unreasonable to expect a bit of noise or for it not to drive like a car. The jap units are horrid, I took out the new top of the range toyota pick up a couple of weeks ago and it drove like a building site dumper.

I like to think of it as 'agricultarul'.... Yes, it doesn't drive like a car, because it isn't a car, but in a car can you put 2 weeks of luggage, 2 dogs and me in the boot on a four hour journey, allowing me to sleep the whole way while my wife drives..... No....

Yes, I know, not the best idea I have ever had.... But what a sleep!!

absolutely - the scary thing is they aren't really much more economical either. the japs seem to do most machines well, but for some reason cant seem to crack pickups.

[HardRockCamaro]

Toyota have cracked big pickups in the USA.

The Tundras are cracking in half due to rust!

[philoldsmobile]

weren't the camshafts on tundras cracking in half too?

That was last year

Toyota's 8th recall this year ( last Friday ) was for cracking drive shafts

The 9th this morning was for 2010 Camry's with defective power steering

Needs more dirt though.... Proper pick-ups don't shine.
