i got some prices coming from different shippers this week as they vary in price from 1k to 3-4k

I tried to get and f150 lightning 3 years old back which would have been about 14k but it had 38k miles on and was modded but i ran out of time

I will pm you some prices of stuff as i got loads of brouchures etc and i found some decent dealerships who only sell top end quality stuff but its still bloody cheap the stuffs at home so will do it tonight,but theres loads of other stuff out there which is fookin cheap

excellent mate if you could do that it would be superb! 14k sounds wicked!!!!! Im off out there in September (Florida) if there is anywhere you need me to visit etc...

As for shipping, there is a company called Vaguard Freight who are meant to be good (and cheap). There is also a chap who posts on here who works at a shipping company...

Cheers mate

Me and Sarah are doing the usual Disney thing so staying at one of the Disney hotels in Orlando. Its more of a relaxing one though as we did all the parks last year. Just gonna do all the bits that we never got to do.

Yeah went to Fort Lauderdale a few years ago, and along to Cocoa and Daytona beach. As you said, awesome area! Even saw a rocket take off from Cape Canaveral! (SP).

yeah i thought that would be the dearest. I do have a friend who lives in Kissimmee so am sure he would do it for a couple of Budweisers!!!

Whereabouts did you get yours shipped from???

chris only cheaper than the SVT lightning not the normal F150 lightning. I recon u could get one into the uk for 35k.

They do the normal Dodge RAM 1500 which looks exactually the same and is quick for about 15k

lol the harley is nothing like my warrior thats why im selling my shitsubishi.Didnt look at any normal lightnings as u can get them quite cheap here. But the F150 with 38k on was a 2 door harley one that would have been about 14k all in.And u get a few nice extras on the harley trucks.

dont see many normal lightnings over there as they have no appeal so i was told, and the new F150 looks so much better but they dont have a proper fast one yet

You could put your XR2 in the back of your F150 Chris, if you track the little beast, save on trailers

Yeah the SVT's have a supercharged 5.4litre V8 (as fitted to the new GT40, tho that has some better headwork) and pumps out 360bhp IIRC - still makes 5.5sec to 62mph
