We were up in 'the Lakes' for a few days, & this was seen
When they were announced, the Ford dealer in Castleford (adjacent to jct 32/M62) had one in the showroom

Daughters b/f has just bought a Mustang!
A ‘19 plate’ GT
(he, sensibly, px-d his BuMW 140 towards it)

It’s the 5.0V8, with a 6-speed manual ‘box
And….RHD!

They came round with it a few evenings ago
Its a GT, 460BHP (not sure if US, or UK measurent?)

On having ride in it, It has the sensations of a bigger/better built(?) TVR!!!
I like it, after a drive, of course
Plus, it has valves in the exhaust, to partially bypass the silencers, & gives an even better sound

This colour, black alloys
Right hand drive


Given all the ongoing kerfuffle about SWMBO wanting me to swap my Kodiaq, for something that’s an automatic, I must have walked back in, with a grin on my face, as she's suggesting I buy one
(sadly, as long as it's an auto!)

Couldn't you compromise with a flappy paddle transmission?

Couldn't you compromise with a flappy paddle transmission?

Not a fan of automatics
The first l tried was way back, when l bought my Discovery
I tried a colleagues 300Tdi auto, it was glacial in its pickup, particularly moving from stationary

Then we had a XKR for a few years, that was better, but still seemed to need to think about moving/changing down

Wifes present Q3 is a bit better, but l still need convincing
With that, l almost feel I need to turn my collar up, wear dark glasses & a hat!
