Cornish Hilux pickup

[Sim1964]

Saw this today running at the Hot Rod Drags at Shakespeare County Raceway.
1986 Hilux pickup with 6.3 litre Chevy V8 running 11 second standing start 1/4 mile

Nice body, a bit pointless though........just like one of my old girlfreinds.

[RodLeach]

Very smart! looks like a few quid has been poured into that!

I went for a drive down the A30 in it when he was running the new engine in about 6 months ago, we didnt go over 3000 revs and it is one of the fastest things i have ever been in!!!!

The fuel pump system alone costs more than a decent surf!

The last few years at the run what you brung in cornwall he hasent been beaten, great to see the look on cosworth and scooby owners that get killed by a 1986 pickup!!
