Hi there RRs!
I have been away from the car world for a while preferring to spend my time and money on small bikes (BMX). I had a perfectly sensible, reliable and pretty powerful 2002 Toyota Corolla TS for a few years but the whole time had a craving for something cool. My choices varied rather largely from Subarus right through to Trabants at one point I was even looking at Peugeot 106 GTIs and Saxo VTS'. The one constant since around this time last year was the Chevy S10 pick up, it all started after going BMXing with a friend in his S10. It was just so cool and I totally wanted one, I checked out all the usual German car sales places like eBay, Mobile.de etc. and even went to view a few but they all seemed overpriced or where not as described. It was so hard to find one in the exact spec I wanted but then, at the beginning of this year, my mate bought a Chevy Tahoe so I asked straight away what was happening with the S10 but alas I was too late, another friend had got there first! A month or so past and I got a text asking if I was still interested in the S10 my answer of course was "For sure!" but at the time my circumstances wouldn't allow it. Another month or so past and my circumstances changed and I was in a position to be able to buy it but I was sure it would have gone. I called my mate and to my surprise it was still there because he hadn't advertised it for fear of someone actually buying it and him never seeing it again! Cash changed hands and the rest as they say is history!
The good bits.
4.3 V6
200L LPG tank
Flowmaster exhaust (mega mega loud)
Canadian model so galvanised and also has Kmh clocks.
The not so good bits.
It needs a Brake Caliper.
The fan belt needs changing.
It needed two tyres but I fitted them this morning!
And lastly Photos!
