Mustang

[Bigbad]

Towards the end of last year, I started downloading brochures and test driving cars.
On the Ford site, they were showing a Mustang that was going to be available in the UK in 2015.
I kept checking back, but there was no further information regarding dates or price, so I gave up.
I believe it was launched around April, but I have yet to see one on the road. Have you seen any?

Back in September, Autocar reported "The first right-hand drive Ford Mustang has been produced, ahead of deliveries at the end of this year". So there won't be many, if any, on the road yet:

No wonder I haven’t seen one, then!
I remember looking at other motoring sites to see if I could glean any more information, and a couple said most likely April.
Dare I say 33K is a lot for a Ford?

You say "a lot for a Ford" but actually Ford make pretty good cars these days. The Mustang will start at £29,995 which looks quite competitive with the other coupes such as Audi TT, Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ, Nissan 370Z. Must say I'm looking forward to seeing the latest Mustang.

I test drove a Subaru BRZ and thought it was rubbish. It was like driving a cheap tin can! A pity, as it looks so good.

Will they do corners better than the one I had in Florida?

The new Mustang is not like the Mustangs of old, this one will go around corners.
Looking forward to seeing a Shelby GT 350 on the road.

This is how it should be done...

Costs a lot more than a Mustang though, shoota. Great car though.

I am looking forward to the 2016 Gull wing Ford Capri.

[Bigbad]

Now that, shoota, is most definitely out of my league!

[BRIGHT SPARK]

Did you have a Ford Crapi in the 80's retro?

[retrocop]

No. Always a bit suspicious about Fords years ago. Only owned one 1966 Mk1 Aubergine Cortina automatic. Let me down all the time.

[shoota]

I had a 2.0S Capri II, wonderful motor 'til it got nicked and the interior taken out. Bought a crashed 3.0 Ghia and swapped the interior into the 2.0 but it was never the same.
Also had a 1.6GL that went on for years despite the most awful tappety knockings going on.

[BRIGHT SPARK]

shoota....I had the 1.6GL in Cosmos blue and a 2.0 Laser in Mineral blue and Stratos silver.....and yes the old Pinto series 88 OHC would eat camshafts if the oil spraybar got obstructed.
