What were you doing with that ping-pong ball gun? :lol:

That 1970(?) Mustang looks nice. Did you tell the owner you had a REAL muscle car? :D

Keep a low profile when you get to that sandy place. The news lately has me and Diana really worried about you. Keep your nose out of trouble mate and Godspeed your return.

Yes, and no. You could get it with the 429 Super Cobra Jet engine and lots of heavy duty parts, so it was still pretty capable, despite growing bigger.

Hi Neil,

Did yours still have the sequential lights ?

The one in Trev's photos is identical to one that used to be here in Glasgow, and got sold to the continent about 15 years ago.

All the best

No sequentials on that one Sandy. I believe that it had been in the UK from new (or nearly new), so I guess they had been altered or as is usual they didn`t work. Had that car for three years before having to sell when I was made redundant - we`re talking about back in the early eighties here. Found it some time later in a garage forecourt in Durham area, with the front end all smashed up, it broke my heart to see it like that. Engine gone, radiator thrown on the front leather seats :( Better than any Mustang in my opinion, cos it was a bit different :o

Actually Trev I just remembered you are home for a week before the big off aren't you? Let me know the dates so I can work out when I can re-build that axle for you.
