Subject: UK CB Radio is cool again - or at least it deserves to be! (Off Topic)
modifiedclass

Hi All,

If you and a few mates regularly go out driving together, then you
should think about getting CB radios - it's a great laugh, and gives
you range of up to 5 miles - plenty of scope for fun while you drive!

CB Radio in the UK is far from dead, but there's nothing like the
number of users any more, meaning clearer channels for you and your
friends, with no interuptions or hassle.

It's not affected by the mobile phone "handsfree" legislation, and
is cheap and Very easy to install - often in a few minutes with a
magnetic mount and cigarette lighter power connection, for a
temporary set-up.

I have a lot of information about CB Radio on my site, but the link
below is to a page with more information about what CB can do for
anyone who drives with others in vehicles - cruises, motoring
holidays, one-make car clubs, or just a few mates out for a drive -
ANYONE!

http://www.4x4cb.com/public/showpage_preview.cfm?CatID=655

If you were driven off CB years ago - still take a look - it's
changed, most of the idiots have gone, but it's advantages are even
more beneficial with the british roads being what they are.

Thanks for reading!

Jim

I am glad you like my photos. The sales man at the dealership was
wondering why I would want to walk around taking photos. Yes you are
right though it would be good to see it in the UK. The americans
however need to make their cars more economical. The Mustang is not a
good use of space, it is an attractive package yet for the size the
interior seems rather snug. The Americans still like bulky cars and
huge SUVs.

On a trip to an American Ford dealership in Florida I had my camera in hand and
photographed many of the 2003 Ford line. Check them out in the new American
album. Check out the special edition Harley Davidson 100th Anniversary F150. I
hope you enjoy.
