It's official.

Depends who I'm talking to. To anyone on here, I call it 'the truck', to anyone else, it's 'the car' or 'the surf'

Unless its your boss who calls it the tractor. Now that does deserve a good hard slap across the forehead

Thats 17" of lift and 44" tyres, but the engine and gearbox is now out and the body has been lifted another 3" so it now has 20" of lift in all. Soon to have a pickup 5 speed manual box and a rover v8.

nah!... it's not a commercial... it's a car!

bugs me when the 7.5t drivers at work call them lorrys... they're just big vans!... they have no vocational qualification to drive it, so it's a van!!

hehe ehhh actually if u past ur test after the 1st of Jan '99 you have to do a different test for anything over 3.5 tonnes.....

So everything over 3.5 tonnes needs a C1 or C or C+E so really is a lorry or truck....

Or am I wrong here? don't forget I am Dutch lol....


But I do agree they are just a big van....



oh yeah and on the subject my Surf is called:

That red thing......

[Mattress]

Used to call my 2nd gen with 4in lift and huge BFG's a truck, cos that's exactly what it looked like. Big and tough and went well with "truck".

Now I have a blue (ok purple!) 3rd gen standard height and wheels and I am miles less inclined to call it a truck, it just seems smaller and less worthy of it, lol!

Toyota Slurp anyone?

[PC-Surf]

Mine also got named Smurf by the guys in the club over here. I take it yours is blue too. I have been toying with painting the roof white.
It'll never happen though. I originaly wanted to paint her orange with a modified rebel flag on top (like david knights helmet:

Then call her the General Smurf.
Ahh well.
