    my names carl and my ride is a 56 chevy sportcoupe with a 350, 4 speed m22,12 bolt posi, and a black and red flake paint job, it sure stands out in the crowd over here in england, and most people seem to like it.When you live a country full of 4 bangers a V8 sounds like pure heaven!!:)

    Hi Carl and welcome!

    I know what your saying about the sound of a V8 amongst the usual 4 pots... That why down here in Stamford i'm trying to change that and get a healthy gathering of American iron... no street should be without at least one V8... that's the way i see it anyway :)

    Is the much going on in Hull as far as the American car scene goes?
