I barely saw any Fbodies in the UK when I was there in June! And the weather was fantastic too...oh well, the two that I did see made me smile Always nice to see a car that reminds of you of home!

p.s. How do you get away with your Off road Y in the UK? I thought they were really sticky about emissions??
