As I know you lot are sick of me swapping cars I'll keep this brief.
Spent £5k on the newest car I've ever owned, a 2009 Ford Ranger Thunder (Thunder being the spec below Wildtrak but it still has leather and AC)
She looks truck like, clearly been used as a car most of her life rather than a work truck but the paint is pretty crap close up (i didn't notice as I bought it in the dark and rain)
Went straight out and bought myself some 35" x 12.5" tyres on 15"x10" wheels.
They are genuinely huge and will give almost a 20% speedo error. They weigh over 40kg a wheel too
Obviously to fit the huge tyres I need more space in the arches so I had this 4" body lift kit delivered.
Also got myself a scanguage to use as a digital speedo as I can correct it for the huge tyres and also as it has instant mpg it might make me drive a little smarter as big 4x4s on huge tyres do terrible fuel economy.
Plans are to keep it a couple weeks then sell it / scrap it obviously
