LMAO Ron you do realise we have tractor trailers over here and not still using a horse and cart.They fit ok on our roads so driving a B-body is no problem at all.As for parts we have suppliers here who do next day delivery for general maintenance stuff and anything else is just a mouse click away on the Web,here in a few days.I had my 440 built and installed by an English guy over here too(amazing,he actually knew what to do and how to do it LOL).I'll give you the fuel costs,they are a joke but it's a small price to pay to drive such an awesome car.Remember it's Smiles per gallon.
Well, it's been probably 20-years since I was in the UK honestly. I worked for an Insurance Brokerage located in Coventry. I rented a small house from a farmer in a village called Dumbleton(SP). My Dad always thought that was appropriate. I'm not saying a B body would not have fit on the roads, there were plenty of American cars around. But I distinctly remember my British friends laughing at me and referring to such as "Yank Tanks" if I would call one out in admiration. I was leashing a Peugeot 205 at the time, and I'm 6'6" so that was a challenge and I longed for my car. When travels took me into Scotland many of the roads were single lane, with the occasional pull over should another car happen to approach in the other direction. It was the same in Wales. Getting up to Dornoch when my Dad would visit was pretty interesting.
My wife is from Italy, and I'm there frequently visiting her family. It's pretty much the same there, sure there are major highways that rival, in fact most are better, than what we have here. But try and drive through the center of her hometown in one, you would be wedged in-between buildings, and up into the mountains to visit some of the hillside villages, getting around some of the switchbacks I always question if my roadrunner could make some of those turns without bottoming out. A good friend has a 1964 Ferrari GTB 4-cam, he's a retired racer and I've sat in the car with him when he does some of these hills. No way would my car make those turns without having to stop and back up.
