Very nice car mate, but personally if I had 17.5k to spent on a V8, it would have to be a 6.0 in a Monaro or a VXR8!  :y

Chrome wheels!?!!?!  :o :o  :-X :-X :-X

Each to their own I guess.

If your interested in straight line speed, a standard Mustang is sh!t! You can go a lot faster for a fraction of the money.

I too would save about 5 grand and have a Monaro, or if I had 18k for a coupe, something like this:

Lovely cars, and chrome wheels just suit that down to the ground, however a 4.6 V8 which does nothing to the gallon and has only 300 BHP, I know I'd be going buy a BMW M5 from 2005 onwards 507 BHP of V10 Power  8-) Or a 535d from 2007 onwards with 286 BHP easily mappable to 360 bhp and 45 MPG  :-* :-*

Have you tried for an insurance quote yet,left hookers are normally dearer to insure

i have mate. i thought id have to go through a specialist insurer but i was surprised to get a quote from compare the meerkate for £930 a year thru the rac!

seriously its a 60/40 in favour of doing this at the mo. i just have to bite the bullet and call my bank!!!!

then of course theres the question of what to do with my mig. ideally id want to keep that as my main car and the stang as a play thing.
