A British Take on How Pickup Drivers Ruin Their Trucks



With prices for trucks as high as they are these days, who wants their pickup to look or sound like a clone?

I think the Brits should stick to what they're good at, drinking tea.

 

hades it isn't even a pickup ...........

 

yup.

what do you expect from people that put their engines under their bonnets?
and their luggage in their boots?

 

guess they got peeps that don't know what they're talking about too you'd expect more from a more "civilized" people ......

 

"civilized" or just plain uppity?

 

I think those smoke stacks look ridiculous. But I can totally see agent Q tweaking Bond's superduty to roll coal on the bad guys.

 

I love rolling coal, but yeah- stacks are so played out now, they just look ridiculous to me.

 

ya know i just watched that video . i think he needs to mind his own d@^* bizznezz . if we do things so god awful wrong then pray tell me why in britain and europe american vehicles pretty much done up the way WE do 'em are so popular ??? i don't care for the lifted mall cruisers that will never ever see off road or the idgits who run around rolling coal but it's their right too . i suppose some of them don't like my fuel piggish flathead ford powered 53 effie or my beater fiat ........ but do i look like i give a rats @$$ ?????????????

 

I don't think there's a Pickup truck culture in America. We're just lucky to have lots of room and a high standard of living so most people can afford to own a large truck that can do all kinds of different things.


In England and Europe they don't have a lot of space so there's a lot of fuel taxes and road taxes to discourage people from buying large vehicles. Most people there live in tiny little row houses where they don't even have a driveway and when everyone has to park on the street having a big car can make you unpopular with your neighbors.


When they come here and see a country where everyone has a big truck or SUV they think we're this sick society obsessed with material possessions or showing off to get attention because that's how they look at it in their country.

 

Reminds me of that funny commercial.....

"And if you don't believe me, listen to this expert with a british accent....."
