its about 40 foot long, covered in chrome and has fins! It’ll never be low key!

Aye but compared to a resto mod 57 it’s practically invisible .

All I need to do is find the £50k or whatever it’s going to cost and somewhere to keep it .

Surely a Wrangler is far better in the UK in every way? And doesn’t have that extended wheelbase which compromises the Gladiator off road.

It’s a gladiator I want. It’s not actually that big, it’s only about 8 inches longer than a crewcab Hilux and all the other dimensions are the same as the Wrangler.

It’s sized to compete with the hilux and ranger in the US rather than the F-150.

Cheapest Clubsport for as long as I can remember. (assuming original panels / no over revs etc)

I have wing envy.

Do it, do it, do it!

I’m not certain about the stripes, but yes you very much should. You’ve had this itch for some time

The guys from dirt every day took about 25 inches out of the middle of a two door pick up hummer and I want one.

Need a new daily, currently looking at a 320d m sport, viewed a ridiculously clean 2008 car with 69k yesterday and also trying to look at 2010 Merc CLS grand edition.

Exciting time’s, then I look at F80 M3’s

Just watched this. What a great looking thing. A proper engine and it'll be ace.

Aye, big Cummins torque in there and it would be a monster

And some better suspension

I think they just needed lighter springs to account for the weight they had taken out.

Putting a ton of Cummins engine into it would probably balance that back out again

eBay impulse purchases are bad.
It’s a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 IROC-Z. 190hp of tyre shredding fun. I’ll be collecting it once the lockdown is over.

5.0 Tuned Port Injection V8 (190hp @ 4000rpm, 285lb/ft @ 2500) with 4 speed slush box. The thing weighs 1620kg.

Compare this to MrsREV’s 420d: 187bhp, 295lb/ft, 1765kg.

Oh, and it has T-tops
