Default Other UK Mustang (Seen it)

Saw a 05 in a dark red (not sure of the colour name) but it looked nice. It was on the road to DEAL in kent!

I was racing a motorbike at the time so didnt have a real chance to wave.

I know Nick's up in Milton keynes so thats 3 at least here in sunny england

A garage told me at weekend they had seen my color (grey) with black stripes.....also have a 'friend of a friend' who has just bought a dark red GT, he sent me a picture of car to me yesterday and it looks sweet!!!

I also spoke to Atlantic Sports Cars where I bought mine and they sold another 2 red GT's at weekend!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO we have to stay a minority!

This dark red had a family in it.. (what i could see a high speed).

I got the Top Gear review on download yesturday also.

I'm thinking of putting stripes on mines now to make it look different.

Stripes - you gotta go with black stripes!

Minority - I agree, I almost had a fit when that dude told me he had seen another grey one in Milton Keynes.....still dont believe him!

Top Gear - F'ing idiots - thost *icks just insult American cars just for being 'American' and not for being bad cars......that review was not too bad though, better than usual - but they still had to go on and on and f'ing on about the way it corners (or how badly it corners!).

Speaking of Top Gear (Tv program over here guys) - this is how frigging stupid they are.....they did a review of the Chrysler 300 which I think is a sexy car - anyway.....they tested it on a beach against a Jag and a sports car (GM's Australian company - one of there models, cannot remember?!) and then said it was crap as it didnt corner that well, blah, blah - what kinda car test is that - do they know the type of people who will drive that car and what its purpose will be?! Testing it on sand against a sports car was just crazy and that is how crap that program truly is!!!

I live on RAF Mildenhall, and I have seen a few 05 stangs around here. I just ordered mine a few weeks ago (an 06), plus when I looked at his computer screen there were quite a few new mustangs on the list that people have ordered. So expect to see a few more in the coming months

It's good to read that you are able to get the Mustang across the pond. It's a puzzle why some of us in the states have been waiting for months and still haven't received the car we've ordered. Anyway, enjoy the car.

I pay £430 a year insurance with 4 years no claims......Adrium Flux are by far the most expensive for US insurance!

Good news buddy - congrats on ordering your new ride!!! The areas with US bases often get more US cars than other areas so it doesnt surprise me that you have heard of a few more being ordered!
