Only a little tickle, will post pics in a couple of hours.

Mystic Chuff  :wink:

pontiac firebird? :cool:

Nice guess but not correct.  Bit of a clue, IMO its a chicks car with a mans engine from 1994.  The last 5.0 of it's kind before it down sized.

About 5 years ago we had this, got it for a fair price as it had many issues.

(http://s18.postimage.org/eqjppu821/Mustang.jpg)

After some hard graft I got it back to how it should be but unforeseen circumstances meant that we didn't have it long and sold it at a loss, shame really as it was the other half's dream car since she was a teenager.

Here's the first pic of it's replacement.

(http://s7.postimage.org/rlixgw7qz/Mustang_2.jpg)

302 5.0 HO V8.

66k Documented Miles
Brand New Power Roof
Black Leather with ivory piping
Steering wheel on the wrong side
8 Branch Magnaflow Exhaust system.

Will post some more up in a bit, got to nip out.

Yep, not a fan of it's looks either.  The colour IMO makes it worse!  It's for the lady of the house and therefore to her it looks "beautiful".. She says my mk1 is ugly, who says woman have taste!?  :rolleyes:

I WAS RIGHT!

Winner winner chicken dinner!

Oh yeah, forgot to congratulate you on getting it right first time.

Trying my hardest to convince her that it needs lowering and rimmage.... may take a while!

They're pretty torquey to be fair but then it bloomin should be, I have to agree with you though.  Planting them on a straight and through tunnels is great, but that's about it.  Corners are a no go.. Right up the other halfs street.

It's so spongy it'll probably be nicer to drive over the million pot holes round here than the Mazda and the mk1!  Will be on par with the van, that thing soaks up everything!

Yeah she is, I'm happy that I can mock her car as much as she mocks mine!  :grin:

I'm not going to defend the car because I know I can't.  It's all about balance in my home.  Mr's SoundillusioN is happy with whatever when it comes to things I do and want and although hating my "Ugly" mk1, she knows it's here for life.  Sadly though she hasn't got her own toy that is just for her and deserves one, this is it, this is what she want's and she loves it, is happy with it so I am happy (so long as it doesn't start breaking too much).  :rolleyes:

Power isn't an issue, no heavy right foot on my lady.  There's nothing that someone can tell me that's going to shock me, I know these cars very well and they shock me well enough all by themselves!  :grin:

After a good long drive up north and a very good look over it, it turned out to be in better order than the last one she had. However that's not to say it's perfect and sadly has issues I've seen before, none of them urgent but I'm sure you'll see once I've got some golf stuff done.  I drove it back to make sure it was sound.  It drives very well, it's been well looked after and is very comfortable.  Been a long time since I've seen a fuel gauge move if you look at it long enough while you're driving!  :shocked:

Half a tank later it was home without drama.
