    My new car - American V8ness

    Thought it was about time I got a 3rd car, but decided this time it would have to be a yank.

    So... I got this '62 Ford Thunderbird with a 390CI (6.4l)

    I've never driven a car where so many complete randoms in the street are kind enough to compliment the car as I cruise past

    Some quick pics before it got dark

    Sweet!!

    I know these things aren't about speed, but does it pull? Looks very nice.

    It does pull alright, it's nice and effortless. As you say it's not too much about speed, it's just great fun to cruise about in and occasionally open that throttle wide
