bakerboy Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) My 03 plate died last week end terminal. Going back through the history of the truck this is the second engine to go. Shame as it was such a good truck. Any way I have now purchased a Steed SE brand new and all sparkly, got it today. Lots of bits and pieces on it and a joy to drive. Gave the wife a lift and she asked what the time was it was then we noticed it does not have a clock fitted. But other than that excellent value and I got a fantastic deal. editted to add link www.greatwallmotor.co.uk Edited September 6, 2012 by bakerboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakerboy Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Ha Ha you have found me out. They would have to pay me more than £1.00 to drive a Pink one away. And I will definately not be buying the Realtree camo gear in that guise, I do not often shoot in fields of Carnations Edited September 6, 2012 by bakerboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
