    No, Europe ( with the exeption of England, Ireland and Scotland) is lefthand drive, same as in the USA. Those ugly fender turn signal are required if you have a tow package.

    Questions about 20" Wheels

    I have 285/50/20 Hankook Ventus on my 20"s. The steering became more responsive and direct and they're a lot more quite than the stock Firestone Wilderness that were on my 16"s. I like these Hankooks very much. fuel consumption is al little higher but not much. With the 285/50/20's the...

    The pointy things are the pillars of the bridge that hangs on them by thick cables. The franch name is "viaduc de Millau" The toll was €7.20 this year, some 10$

    highest bridge in Europe

    Just a quick pic of the highest bridge in Europe ( the valley underneath is about a mile deep), near the city of Millau in France. I almost rearended the French guy in front of me who slowed down to 30 mph suddenly to admire the bridge.

    Thinking about selling my baby, talk me out of it!

    WHaa..., gas is 9$ over here, but I found a way to cut back on fuel costs and keep my Tahoe. I found another job, so instead of driving 60 mls to work every day it's now a 10 minutes ride on my bycicle. The Tahoe stays but becomes a weekenddriver. I'm never gonna sell it.

    Question: What is that LIGHT for ?

    I don't know if your Tahoe is an original Euro spec version. Mine is. On my Tahoe that lights comes on when you turn your light switch one (or two) step(s). It's not your turn signal, but it should be on permanent when using your lights.

    Tech: Intermediate Shaft Replacement

    There's a much cheaper fix for this. Just loosen the lowest bolt on the ISS so that it comes apart from the part below. Gently push the ISS in and out towards the firewall for a few minutes, re-install the lowest bolt and presto, you're set for amother rattle free 10.000 miles or so. Works like...

    Tire size change ideas?

    I don't know if those fender flares will be in the way, on a stock Tahoe you can use 275/55/20 or 285/50/20 up to 305/50/20, depending off the off-set and width of your rims.

    Feeling Bumps through the Steering Wheel

    Could very well be the ISS. Don't buy a new one, try this, it's free and works like a charme:thumbsup: : http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=31625

    Which tires?

    I'll use them only on the street, no offroading. Winters are soft here, so no freezing but lots of rain.

    Which tires?

    My 20" will be here soon. There's not much of a choice in big tires over in Europe. The only affordables are 285/50/20 Hankook Ventus RH06, 285/50/20 Continental crosscontact UHP, ofr275/55/20 General grabber UHP. What would be the best choice?

    luggage carriers

    Maybe a dumbass question, but is there an easy way to take the luggage carriers off without having to take the entire roofrails off the car?

    Tell me what you think....

    Maybe a crazy thought, I have never seen it, but how about painting the black of the rims white?:eek:

    Removing badges??

    I saw some pictures of Tahoe's/Yukon's without the badges on the doors and tailgate. I like that clean look and would like to take these badges off. How are the attatched? Just glued or are there any holes underneath? Is there an easy way to take them off without damaging the paint?

    big rims, how's the ride?

    Hi, I just bougt a set of 20x8,5's to replace the stock 16's. I am going for some 285/50/20 tires for them. Ik lik a bit of rubber around the rims. I've driven an Avalanche with this combo and thought that the handling was much better compared to stock while still very comfortable. I see a...

    New old HOE driver from the netherlands

    No, I'm not converting to LPG. If the car is not yet 25 years old you have to pay road taxes, cars younger than 25 years old on LPG pay double road tax. So for me it's not that tempting. It's only cheaper than riding on gas if your car is older than 25 years or if you're driving more than...
