Ford SVT Raptor
While we're not particularly fussed about missing out on Ford's regular F-Series pickup trucks we would like to get our hands on the SVT Raptor. Essentially a hardcore off-road special, it wears big wheels and chunky tyres, has huge amounts of suspension travel and a 411hp V8.

Some companies allow you to come over to pick your new car & have a short holiday at the same time . The price of the motors are usually very low compared to Euro boxes , but you have to wait a while for the vehicle to arrive [especially from the U.S. ] and hidden charges can make your eyes water . A couple of mates have bought from U.S. police auctions ,mainly stuff recovered from crime -drug dealers etc. Very cheap and the catalogue is usually thicker than a phone directory ,everything from cars ,bikes ,boats & even helicopters ! .

For those that are saying you can get these cars and the mustang in the uk are right but read the headline again, the car will be available in right hand drive! Yes there are imports out there but the majority if not all are left hand drive. Just back from the states on holiday and had a chevy camaro for a hire car and it was a cool car. Bring the mustang, camaro and the dodge charger and challenger over to the uk with v6 deisel engines to give them the right mix of performance and economy and they will sell as they are something different from the boring looking motors we have.

I've owned a 2006 model Mustang GT for the last 3 years, It was bought from a Mustang dealer in Surrey. I attended a Mustang event in Luton last year with 66 new model Mustangs including 2 Vipers, a Corvette ZR1 and a few Ford Lightning pickups, cars like this have been available in the UK for ages now so this isn't exactly news.
In regards to my Mustang though, it looks and sounds awesome and I love it, wouldn't trade it for anything else - There's nothing like the noise an American V8 makes!

You guys really ARE missing out on the FJ Cruiser. I'm in Brisbane, originally from Manchester, and it's a top car! I pre-ordered one as soon as I heard it was coming to these shores, had it for 18 months and now they're leaving other 4x4's behind - including other Toyotas! It is a true off-roader!
