Default Some awesome cars I spotted today

Saw these two awesome cars today, a brand new Mustang GT and Ford F150 straight from America. The guy came out and had a talk to us, said he just imported them over and will be doing right hand drive conversions over the next few days, and in a few weeks should have a whole bunch of Mustangs in all different colors. Sweet as :P

Im so over stock mustangs, never thought Id say that but the camaro and challenger are alot better. Look at those pathetic rims, and the profile, for a sportscar!

And the last gen lightninings are tougher too IMO.

Still not a bad place to be hanging around.

There was a time when these imported Yank jobs really turned a head or two, but now, well I don't know.... And these babies won't be cheap either I'm sure! So I wonder who the market is?

The only thing I don't like about the Mussie, is the rims. Rest is nice though. ;)

Has anyone seen one of these F-150's at a supermarket shopping centre? They just don't fit.

I love the new mustangs, not overly-aggresive looking but enough to turn a head and go "holy crap thats a nice car"

Seriously, how can anyone say ANY Mustang is not beautiful

Exactly why my rear bar is creased, and my front passenger door is scuffed. I now park at the far end and have the paint line under my tailshaft. 2 bays. As for little old ladies? Well I am a firm believer of a aged test. Too many grey army members pedaling there car and using the steering wheel as a chin support.

Off topic, but what the heck. Nothin' like a good rant. :SaiyanSmi

I would've confused the Effie for a late-model Explorer if I hadn't of known. It looks very 'government official'. They're both awesome US icons - especially in black.

I dont want to pop your bubble but The Yanks have never made a proper sportscar... their idea of 'sportscar' is hard suspension, bucket seats and massive cubes!

Don't blame you for parking away in safety now, My brother always did this with his EF Fairmont, Everyone wondered why he did it, And one night he went to his daughters concert at the end of the year, And some C**T scratched the car from front to back, And messed it up half way and went back for seconds, And he said now thats why i park down back;).
There is a old lady that goes to the same bingo as my mother, they had her reported it was hard but they needed to she drove a old torana and every car she parked next to she hit, And when driving out she would pull in front of traffic and not look, One day she was parking next to my car and thank god my mother moved it on the double.
She could have hurt someone or herself for sure it had to be done.
