    A gorgeous black 60s Mustang convertable came burbling past my house this afternoon... I love 60s yank tanks.

    Stunning car mate,love those bodywork lines

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!

    Not a huge Ford fan, but it looks sharp.

    Doesn't sound like a Chevy though :P

    Which doesnt sound like a Hemi





    Seriously though it's a bit unfair to compare a stock 40 year old T-Bird with a modern V8. If it had a Tri-Power setup on trumpets on the other hand then we'd be talking, no injected cars sound as throaty and burbly as good high performance carbs

    Yup, that was me. As i pulled out of the petrol station near the Queens theatre you drove past so i had to go your way to hear the car.

    My god did it sound nice.

    I can see why it turns so many heads. Can't wait to have a closer look at the HWH meet.

    Ahh nice one Daz, I could only guess it was you, I recognised the car.

    Was it too loud when I pulled up the road, or just about right?

    sounded about right to me, couldn't really hear the car on tickover as i was a few cars back (plus mine was running), but when you turned onto the highstreet in hornchurch it sounded lush, nice growl coming from it. Then again past the sixth form college it sounded so nice pulling away.

    If you wanna hear it then i'd be more than happy to drive it for ya
