My new car

Postby Dan 6511 » Tue Jul 09, 2013 6:24 pm

As some of you already know I have recently got a Mustang. I imported it from the States and collected it from the docks just after Silvercoast, which was annoying as I wanted to take it on the road trip but couldn't get an early enough ship. Some of you were asking for pics so here are some from when it was in the states, being collected, and a couple on my drive. Its 412bhp so a bit quicker than a Delorean :lol: I want to get some stripes for it to break up the black a bit, and maybe some bigger wheels when the tyres wear out, apart from that its all good :D

Wow nice pic there Julian :D

Insurance isn't too bad gez, near as damn it 500 quid but I have points which probably doesn't help. Probably going to get some more with this :lol:

Nice car Dan.

What's with everyone sudden attraction with American V8s? That's two Mustangs and a Camaro in just a few months.

Not attracted to hi-power German or Japanese better handling cars?

I've had BM's for years, but just get ready for a change. The Camaro does handle, probably the first yank of that style that does. No 'live axle' here buddy.

German cars are good and yes they handle, but there are thousands of them around and a bit boring (in my opinion). This is a little different, and although mine does have a live axle I am surprised how well it actualy handles. Yeah it won't beat an M3 round a track but its not bloody bad and the power is amazing, so much torque too. It handles a lot better than the dodge challenger we rented on holiday last month, that was like steering a boat but it was still fun doing donuts in the desert sand :lol:
