Once you hear that V8 though...

One drove past me in a car park the other day, it was really funny, all the blokes just stopped and stared and I saw a few Windows get wound down to cop an earful of the noise! Definitely a mans type of car as the women barely paid any attention to it.
The lad driving it hardly looked 20 years old.

I'm late 40s so would probably look a bit of a tit driving one but I sure do love them. Not keen on the standard wheels though. Knowing Ford there's a raft of upgrades available.
If I was ten years younger...

The running costs aren't that bad actually, you'd be surprised.  Plus that sound  :evil:

Never too old for any type of car (other than the motors that young boys frequent eg. Corsa)!
Leave it on the driveway for all the neighbours to drool over!
You can copy mine, I did it last night!  :laugh:
