Jim takes our 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor P71 on a road trip to the European mainland, to seek out cheap E85 fuel. He meets up with fellow Panther Platform owners including @Kerleem and the boys head to Dam Square in the centre of Amsterdam to become the Netherlands' newest tourist attraction for an afternoon. Then the Police came...

"You can totally do this". We don't give tickets for driving in a walking zones here, there's more money to be made in selling wipers to tourists.

Living in the USA, So cool seeing American cars so out f their element.

@alsodriven Год назад

They are so iconic here. They are the epiphany of US movie and TV culture as there is barely a show that didn't feature them

@SAMPLETEXT285 Год назад

Id never think in a million years and out of all vehicles the panther platform would be imported into other countries im glad people in other countries get to see something like this. As an American and a vic owner myself thank you for showing the people of Amsterdam an American icon. Also 17 euro for a single wiper blade is insane i can buy 2 wipers from Bosch or Rainx for 27 euros here in the states at any autopart store.

Good thing is to buy them from southern states where they don`t salt the roads.Crown Vic`s do have a pretty nice ride for a cheaper car, they`re like sitting on your livingroom couch.

Awesome video. I always find it funny how our old cop cars seem to get so much attention over seas.

@jameshaddan8538 Год назад

Great video - thanks! Suddenly reminded me that my 2009 GMC Yukon SLT will operate on E85. Ten years ago it seemed all the fashion here in the USA - now it’s almost disappeared.

@alsodriven Год назад

Mid west?

@jameshaddan8538 Год назад

@@alsodriven I live in Southern California. Though the Yukon was first purchased by my step-father in Texas…it seemed a lot of the General Motors cars during that period were “Flex-Fuel,” but I think most of the folks who used E85 were in the mid-west. My stepfather never used E85 in it (though it was available in Texas).

@LeonSteelpaw Год назад

As I recall the Crown Vic and such were highly utilized because of the unibody design. Though there was also one amusing sidenote about the crown vic fleets: They all tended to use the SAME KEY

@malcolmschenot6352 Год назад

Panther platforms are all body on frame not unibody.

If those guys thought the corner indicators were cool, imagine if they saw the corner illumination lights that came with the Town Car eheheh. Its the small things that are appreciated.

@fasttruckman 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video. I'm sure by now, you have figured out the / on the fuel cap in the U.S. means E85 or Gasoline. Your Crown Vic will run on both, or a combination of the two without skipping a beat. Believe it or not, in some parts of the U.S. you can still get pure Gasoline in it's finest form.

@keithbassett4988 Год назад

Im sorry....but i didn't quite get the costs of the replacement wiper blade. Uh....did u say "Seven T-E-E-N" euros? As in 1 with a 7 beside it? Lol. I loved the reaction to the Panther possee in Dam square. I bet everyone gives those cars a second look when they go by. Great video....thank you .

@nicholasdavis657 Год назад

@alsodriven Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it! We have another euro trip coming up in something completely different next week

@DirtyDanMunicipalMan Год назад

You can run regular 87 octane in it. You don’t have to just run E85. It can run on E 85 but you can definitely run regular gas. If this is covered later in the video I apologize lol

@weaselduke Год назад

Ethanol is not profitable without subsidies and actually ends up being a net loss environmentally even with the subsidy as you have to use diesel to grow, harvest and transport to the plant (distillery?), and station. Great for racing and just making power especially when paired with forced induction and I'm all for it. Not so great for general transportation use.

@alsodriven Год назад

But you could say the same about EVs But at the same time EVs lower local emissions so it's a bit of a win

@weaselduke Год назад

@@alsodriven I agree, it lowers the emissions where people are rich enough to afford an ev (and mostly in cities where there is no natural environment to protect) and ruins the environment where they dig up the materials to make the battery, populated by poor people and pristine wilderness. Maybe they should be testing out new technology on a large scale where it will make the most impact like container and cruise ships instead of forcing the development costs on consumers.

@alsodriven Год назад

@@weaselduke we disagree that everyone in cities can afford 50k for a new EV

@weaselduke Год назад

@@alsodriven Um, ok not everyone, but that's where the highest percentage will end up for obvious reasons.

@tiredlawdog Год назад

Not being familiar with Euros, 17 is about $18. That would buy you two wipers here in Texas. I found we went to England and Scotland, we presented ourselves as "Texans" not Americans and for some reason were received better. Go figure.

@alsodriven Год назад

Yeah that's why Jim was so frustrated, it would be a similar price for 2 in England at Euro Car Parts
