Hi from England
My name is Barry & I'm an English newcomer.
I don't own a Chevy Blazer but I am considering the idea of buying one. I have not knowingly actually seen a Blazer on the British roads but there are a few about for sale, I have found, even one on ebay. The smaller Chevrolet cars are quite popular here now & you do see the occasional Impala & Corvette on our roads..
The ebay one I have seen is a good runner but apparently the interior lights don't work, nor the dashboard instrument lights..? I can't understand why somebody would sell a car requiring minor fixes like these?
Petrol / gasoline prices here are not cheap, around £6 a gallon which must be something like $7-8 in US currency but I do not drive much of a mileage. I run a petrol Jaguar XJ8 which has similar economy to the Blazer... The Blazer looks a good car & I can pick up one with around 60,000 miles for about £2,000, around the 1998 to 2001 era.

Welcome from MN as well. IDK about the rest of you blokes... but gas mileage on mine isn't all that great. Gas here right now is around $3.29/gal and I wish it would dip a bit lower, but it's better than what it was over the summer at around $4/gal. $7-$8/gallon would be nuts!

Hi, I hope all is well for you. Sandy & its consequences for NY, New Jersey & the east coast of the USA are very much dominating the news reports here in England, best wishes to you all
