Yes and why would they when they have all those other great cars to drive.
I have a few cars.

One for my dog.
One that has no roof.
One that looks good parked at the golf course.
One that is being rebuilt by a guy named Nero..... will it ever be done?

It really is an unpractical vehicle. But that being said, they said it was a RH drive conversion. I have never seen such poor fit and finish in an SVT. I have to place a lot of the blame on the company that did the conversion (and it aint Ford)

TEAM PITA Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.

One day I will rule the world. For now, I have to settle for this place.

Ahh, that must be u on FF eh? Yeah... I was kinda pissed with this video, but I mean they pointed out everything that wasn't performing the way they wanted it to be, yet... that truck isn't meant to do those things like going offroad, etc. As for the conversion, I don't know, as meford said... it was another company, but the main market for that truck NA, and that conversion was just to make the few pricks that wanted it out there, happy. :lol:

The Lightning is one of my dream vehicles, realistically. And they should maybe point out the comparisons... head to head competitors, and the little bits and pieces that make the Lightning the top winner. Bottom line, it really doesn't belong on those roads... so that review suits them. :)

The problem is that while Clarkson loves the insanity of it, he's right about the build quality and other stuff.

Plus, no Brit in their right mind wants a hot rod "lorry" - so Clarkson, while generally controversial, will toe the line and decry its existance.

Quick, someone give him a RAM SRT10. :ph34r:
