I have a couple of pictures of it, but my complete inability to drive my computer means I don't know how to put 'em up!!
If I can e-mail them to someone, would they be so kind as to help me out?
Looking forward to being the only truck driving guy in my village LOL
Cheers

Are you clinically insane, or is it just that you're Welsh? In which case I knowyou're clinically insane because I lived in Wales. Or maybe you just couldn't haul enough leeks in the Caddy.  Welcome to the Bolt. You'll get a LOT of help here. But not, unfortunately, for your mental condition. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 67 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 67 | LMAO, yeah well if you met me, you would know I'm not much of a Cadillac guy. Anyway, I could't fit my 26T bodyshell in the caddy's trunk...
Whereabouts in Wales?

Are you supposed to open some sort of account with these people or register or something? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 67 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 67 | | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 151 Member | | Member Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 151 | Wahey! Mucho coolio ride. Great colour BTW (my 54 is flat grey). Hope you're not going to mess with it and put pansy shiny stuff on. Re. your question: in the boonies near Aberystwyth, the tiny town that's big on pubs. (52 at the last count--62, I think, when I was there.) Local plod didn't take kindly to the racket of a pro-street Plymouth on Flowmasters. But they never could catch it. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | yes nice ride Taff
and if you register at imageshack it'll be easier to keep track of your pics, and you'll be better able to upload them and get the link info - w/ the single unregistered uploads, if you misplace the link, there's no way to find out where they are again
Bill | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 67 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 67 | Red, I have since registerd with one over here called muchos, which does the same thing. So when the beast is delivered, I can bombard you all with pics and you can all play guess the carb...
Ohpants, I remember you!!! You still owe me a drink! From that great night we had??
And all I'm doing to the truck is cleaning the screen and driving it | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 151 Member | | Member Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 151 | Dang, Taff, I thought you were too hammered to remember. But just in case ya did, I moved to Kahlifornia  | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 67 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 67 | Resto, you have too much free time! I love the tiny T, my 5 year old has a steel 53 Buick pedal car, black 'n' flamed. I just aquired a 12v wheelchair motor so we can motorise it for him.
OP, it took a while, but I always find those who owe me beer....
The truck is being dlivered on sunday, I'm getting a bit twitchy at thr thought of having a yank on the road again. I've been without a LHD ride for three years now (longest time since I've been able to drive) and I can't wait to get back behind the wheel. The truck is taxed and has an MOT (both annual, legal requirements to use a motor vehicle over here. For those of you who don't know, the MOT is a road worthiness certificate to prove that the vehicle is safe to use on the roads) so it's a case of get in and go when it turns up on sunday morning.
No doubt I will have a load of questions when I get to grips with it | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 688 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 688 | Taff, Welcome to the "BOLT" you have a good looking truck. My friends from Cardiff called my Truck a "VAN" I don't know why... they just did! take care. regards Cliff59 | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 67 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 67 | Cliff, they are strange in Cardiff LOL!
Just got insurance for the truck sorted out, £186 a year, including glass cover. Thought that was pretty cool | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 688 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 688 | Hey Taff,
That insurance is not bad. 186 Pounds huh? a year?
.......thats really not bad.
My friends in Cardiff are strange (but I love em).

I sold my 55 cadillac coupe and bought a 54 GMC truck! Like you, I am more a truck guy than a car guy. http://community.webshots.com/photo/109000222/1109003956052948230oizrXs Jim

Jim, your truck is a lot straighter than mine, but then my caddy was nothing special in the straight stakes either...
Anyway, now my local club has a parts hauler again, so I do favours and they buy me beer ;-)) | | |
