Thanks Bill.

If you Google the Bad Taste Bears you will see that my snake is very tame.



Was chatting to Dennis last weekend, keeping in mind we chat daily by text or video.

He was up at 03.00 US time and headed out by 08.00 to look at a one owner GMC Cabalero pickup.

V8 Full luxury pack with camper top (canopy to the rest of the world) and purportedly only done 31000 miles.

Pics he was sent.







He messaged me later in the day to say that he bought it, drove it home and loves it.

Drives like a new car.

These certainly are marmite cars, and Dennis likes Marmite.

Interior, plush.



Camper body in place, but needs to come off, as well as the spoked hubcaps and wheels.



But where to put it?

Next to the race car chassis in the roof I guess.

Everywhere else is a bit full.






Back home straight into the shop and a full service so that he knows it is on a current timescale.

Turns out the mileage is 131000 miles, which is still not a lot for the 305ci or is it 308ci motor the truck has, after one careful owner from new.

Found behind the seat.......





Next up will be a new interior carpet and some refurbished Rallye wheels and trims with wide tyres.

And if I ask really nicely, I may get to drive it the next time I am there.............
