Question Am I the only one in the UK?

Hello All,
NEVER seen an FJ in the UK and have simply got to get my hands on one - I've just sold my '96 Tahoe and my 2006 F-150 HD is hopefully going this week to fund the FJ
The F-150's a bit like an elephant - interesting to look at, hell of a trunk, but you just wouldn't want one in your garage!
Hope to ship an FJ from Brunswick to UK asap and can't wait. The forum's great and you guys seem to leave no stone unturned in terms of what can and can't be done with your FJ's, looking forward to getting involved ! Stu

welcome.

you might want to try using the search because there was a thread a couple weeks ago about a guy getting one shipped to Germany...and another one to Swedan I think. So those might be helpful.


And I have to ask.... FJ's...white roof.....any chance of painting Union Jack on the roof? That would be sweet.

Union Jack on the roof ! Now why didn't I think of that !?!
I saw the thread on the guys importing to Germany which was really useful - thanks. got a voodoo 4x4 Auto + package 2 all lined up but now Black Cherry's looking more attractive... decisions, decisions....

What are you gonna do about the LHD? I am guessing you have come across this before with your F-150 etc... Just wondered how you overcome that hurdle, is it legal to drive? guess that's a bummer at car parks where you need to take a ticket. Is it ever possible to change them over? Anyway hope all works out for you! What color are you gonna go with?

Re: Am I the only one in the UK?

I think there's probably a fair number of LHD cars running around over there. Think about how many tourists from France, Germany etc must travel to the UK with their LHDs. I've also heard of cars like Corvettes and Mustangs being imported. I dont think it's really a problem.

I've seen lots of RHD cars like Skyline's, 300ZX and even an old Land Cruiser the other day driving around here.

I think it's just something the driver needs to get used to.
