Brit Fred takes the Camaro Plunge! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

fredc51 · 05-10-2010, 05:59 AM

Well I finally did it, being a brit and living in London, all we get is Euro and Jap cars - Yankmobiles are rare and often have to me imported. My first was a Ford F150 Lariat bought in 2002 with the 5.7 tri valve. I then went on to the Chrysler 300C Touring (sold as a Dodge Magnum, I believe in th e US) and I am just about to take delivery of a 2010 Camaro 2SS in Inferno Orange (gotta make a statement) as it was the mutts nuts!
Looking forward to ripping it around the quiet streets of London and I'll post some pictures when it arrives.

Cheers me old mateys

OMG! Driven in London back in the 70's and I could just not imagine driving my Camaro on those streets.

Is your Camaro going to be left hand drive or right hand drive?

fredc51 · 05-10-2010, 06:19 AM

Can't make it easy - got to be a left hooker!

Sounds great. You should definitely get some looks in the Camaro in Jolly Olde England.

Lots of fun on the roundabouts!. I am sure that you will really enjoy this car.

Congrats but just a question or two- Can you get 93 octane in England and if so how much ? Convert to gal and dollars for me if you can. Thanks.

Doh - had to get the brain working but around USD3.35/per US gallon, but this is for 95 octane, the lowest we have
