Evening all!      Very new to this as I've just bought my first truck and to makes things worse I'm the wrong side of the big pond in England-UK!!  If I ask silly questions please dont take the wee or be offended, I'm just learning!

Me- a young 36, divorced, no kids but looking to start soon with my new partner 

I enjoy most motorsport and recently retired from the UK full contact banger racing scene and needed to get my teeth into a new challenge hence the truck.

from all accounts its a GMC king cab lwb pick-up. 7.4 at the moment but looking to build something with a blower and put it on the semi-drag strip aiming for a 15second 1/4 mile. Not sure exactly what model I have as it got re-registered over here on a "Q" plate which means they're unsure of build date!

Just a bit of an update! The truck is mothballed for a while now  :-\  all plans to have the bodywork and paint done has fallen through so I now have to make time to do it. All stripped out to a rolling shell just looking for more hours in a day!
The truck won't be having a blower poking out the hood, just a standard looking truck with a few play things!

Personal status! The other half has moved in  ;) and we now have a little girl-Tilly (see pic!)
Weather - summer washout! Its been the worst summer on record here and now we're into floods and winds, just thankful its nothing like you guys get.
