Or at least am partway there. I've acquired an unhealthy appetite for NASCAR and country & western. The OH thinks I've gone mad, as she prefers F1 (she says the drivers are better to look at). But naturally, all this NASCAR makes me want the right sort of car. So I need something American, cheap, and with a socking great V8. Best I've seen so far is a 1996 Mustang V8 for under £3k, can anyone find cheaper/bigger engined cars?

And before anyone asks, no, my OH isn't also my sister/mother/aunt/grandmother/daughter all rolled into one.

Did have a brief look, love that Pontiac in matt black, the Camaro intrigued me until I saw 3.1l V6 frown

Now, a Dodge Ram would be the ultimate toy.

The 96 Stang V8 at 3k sounds very cheap. If it looks and goes OK, I'd get it.

Although the Camaro owner seems to insist in spelling it a 'Camero'. If you can't get the name of the car right you're selling....
