I think he's mistaken, what's your opinion.

This Guy from England thinks his Chev is better than a Ram. I ain't Got my Ram yet( seller been offered a supercharged F150 Harley Davidson on a straight trade so he's thinking about my $18,000 bid for his 1997 12valve) but If I had I bet it would beat the Chev on a straight pull.
Whats your opinion guys

English have always spoken too fast for me to understand, so I am confused. It does appear that chevy 1500 uses diesel fuel, and again I am confused.

I assume you mean a 1997 12 V 4X4?

About the only way I could see you losing to that thing is if a meteorite strikes your truck while chaining the two together.

Make sure you pull him like the toy 1/2 ton sissy he is............ and then drag him a few more Kms. just for fun.

And if you mean a 2X4 12V? Just throw a ton or two in the bed and yank him like a bad tooth anyways.

Yes the truck i'm trying to buy is a 2500 ext cab 4x4 so should eat that chev for breakfast. Sorry to confuse you RamWheelsBy4 but the Chev he is selling is a Diesel and I just got miffed cause he reckoned it was way better than a Cummins Ram

Yank his frame rails out Cowboy.

I met a couple english chicks and a scotish chick at a bar one night and they were making fun of my big truck ... They asked if I owned a gun and I said yeah it's in my truck and they were scared and said guns are bad. They must have thought I was a genuine redneck they'd see on a documentry on channel 4... Until I told them what I did for a living.

Last time I was in England I noticed everyone drove small cars, I'd straight pipe that beast and run though town often smoke screening everyone.

if he is claiming that truck is diesel, he is a 'tard. sorry, he is, cause that truck is a 1/2 ton vortec truck and it isnt a crewcab and it isnt a 5 speed automatic.

^Plus, only one battery and the rims look like 5 lugs. Not to mention the dinky little exhaust pipe.
