Well, not really new, just... back. Signed up for the forum when I bought the Stang by the looks of the date on the account, and then it got forgotten apparently. So I never posted a 'hi everyone' or whatever to show my arrival to the site.
Best get that out of the way then. So, not new to forums, not new to this forum, but based on the post-count I'm thinking that makes me pretty new
As a resident of the Netherlands (all the way at the other side of the Atlantic) I purchased my Mustang locally in February 2006, so that makes this month the 6th anniversary of owning her. She's a Satin Silver 2002 GT, and while at rare occassions she has let me down by refusing to start for various reason, that's happened so few times I consider her a great and reliable car.
Top picture with her winter tires on:
Bottom picture with her summer shoes fitted:
Since buying her I've been on the net quite a lot, to gather information, ask questions, and just all out have a fun time with kindered spirits. Joined the local Mustang Club, aswell as the Silver Mustang Registry, been to a lot of local meetings, and even a couple of getogethers by the Silver Mustang Registry in the USA (Atlanta, Georgia), and before anyone asks: without the car. It's kind of overkill wanting to drive it there (impossible, she won't float) or bring her back to the USA (financially, and time-wise), just to attend a meeting 4000 miles from where she's at home
Been out to the German Autobahn a few times but never (atleast up to now) had the opportunity to really floor the pedal there. Been close with 140 MPH there (very legal where I did that), but traffic kind of demanded I'd slow down again. Other then that I try to adhere to the speedlimits pretty well, since they check a lot here, and fines are hefty.
So, that's me, looking forward to meet some of you

Thanks all for the welcome. Great to find some activity on here
It's a global one. Find it at http://www.silvermustangs.com/. Once a year a meeting is done, generally in the area near Georgia/Tennessee, which I've attended a couple of times. Other then that there's a couple of mini-meetings members on the forum there pull together for
