Not often you get to see one of these smile



Especially not somewhere like this...



The number plate is more than a little 'questionable' but do bear in mind we are living in Texas, at the moment! wink

I guess these cars are relatively common, down here in Houston, since Mr Hennessey is only up the road.

This car must be a real weapon as it made quite the racket pulling into Discount Tyres!

I wonder if anyone's ever pointed out to the owner of that establishment that his sign writers spelt "tyre" incorrectly. How embarrassing.

He probably had the new tyres in the Focus. Took them there to get them fitted ?

Stock GT's are supercharged.

Quite.

"Discount tire" sounds like a complaint my girlfriend might have after a January sales shopping spree.

Those silly colonials.

I wasn't sure that was where I would take my Ford GT, let alone my hugely expensive, tuned version... But there you go!

Despite sitting outside for a while (we were picking up a hire car, next door and walking the dog) I never actually saw them work on it.

Feels, to me, a bit like taking your Ferrari to Kwik Fit. You wouldn't, would you?

There was also a Nascar outside, but the uploader isn't working, now, for some reason frown
