Dennis - Short introduction from Germany
Hi out there,
just want to intruduce myself as a new member from overseas.
My Name is Dennis and i´m a 36 years old (hobby) road racing enthusiast
.
I "felt in love" with american muscle cars, when i was kid, ´cause of the us army based nearby. So i grow up with the sound of V8s.
After several stays in the US since 1995 i drove every kind of rental car from Trailblazer to Chrysler Sebring, but the last years stay played a decisive role in thoughts for a new car.
We rent a 2011 mustang convertible and enjoyed it for two weeks. From that moment it was clear....we need a Mustang at we need it now
but not a convertible and not a V6... just something you can use everyday and on track.
So we ordered a 2011 GT with the Brembo Package last october from a local importeur here in Germany.
My german friends called me crazy when i told them to buy a Ford Mustang for the next season. Most comments were...." a Mustang is nothing for road racing" ... " stay with BMW" ... "a live axle is something from the sixties"... and all that "blablabla".....
The "stang" was built in december and arrived here 10 weeks ago.... together with all my orders from several shops. My wife called me
.
After another two weeks everthing was installed and ready to hit the track
Roll-out was at the Formula 1 Track in Hockenheim. That day was amazing.... for me ......and the others.
Hehe and now after some Trackdays all that european and asian car guys i know are asking for a place at the passengers seat.... that speaks for itself
I hope my introduction was short enough and not difficult to understand.
Cheers Dennis

Hi Dennis,
I joined this site shortly before u did, but I am not fully entitled yet, still waiting to become a black w/brembos gt 2012 proud owner.
I couldn't help but smile when I read your message, I did visit the states recently and also rented a v6 converible while we stayed there, but we had already ordered our gt, and fully had the same feeling, if this is fun, wait til we get the real one. At the moment I'm a bmw owner, and this will be my first american car.
Have you ever been to any Mustang club events in Germany or Nederlands or other european countries?
I live in Spain and I plan to drive it around Europe during the summer.
Welcome!
