I said I'd buy no more when I bought the skool bus. I said the same when I bought he NYC taxi. And again when I bought the ambulance.

So I don't feel so bad about buying this....




Had it for a week now. It drives beautifully, even though it's only a 6. Daily driver for the rest of this year, I reckon.

This morning I gave the Mustang its first venture out of the garage this year. After 16 years I still love this car!

I dragged mine out of the garage the weekend.

It looks the absolute nuts but I’m not keen on the drive. Might just be my car but it sounds a bit knocky on the suspenders. I guess that’s not normal??

Many years ago I bumped into an elderly American gentleman at a show who said he had bought a 67 brand new when he was in the US. He said it creaked and rattled as he drove it off the forecourt! Mine does have a few rattles, but it's all part the the attraction of a 53 year old car. It's called character apparently!

Yes you sort of accept it on an old car but compared with my 68 Charger and 66 Corvette which are silent

Emailed you, the way this sits is perfect. I wish my '68 looked that good.
