Very nice looking Paul, you don't really see those wheels any longer. They have always been one of my favorites! What is the weather like around there this time of year? About 7 or 8 degrees?
Thank you! I went back and forth for weeks trying to choose between the Razors and Torq Thrusts. I love both, but the Razors had a nice modern twist

It was that temperature last weekend. It's warmed up a bit now (11-12 degrees) but it's still wet n windy. I much prefer a nice crisp winter's day....cold, but blue sky and sunshine. Pity those are rare. It's the greyness that does my head in. I need sunshine!

I recently posted that I thought I had an exhaust leak.
Today I wanted to take the car out to lunch (day off), take off from the driveway, all of a sudden loud exhaust and scraping sound .
Backed the car back into the driveway and took the truck to lunch.
After lunch I fixed the problem, for now.
The driver side exhaust pipe had fallen out of the wide band clamp that secures it to the H-pipe.

Sounded good though:




All tightened up for now, and I was able to push the pipe in a bit more than it was.
I plan on having some welds done to these though, so this won't happen again.

That sucks. Obviously pick a shop you can trust and question a repair vs. replacement on the quarter. The last thing you want to do is to hack off the panel and disturb factory welds and corrosion protection. It looks like the door will require a skin though. Good luck.

Similar temperature here, too. Just a pity it's as grey as an Avalanche Grey GT350

Oh, and blowing a gale, too, so the Mustang is staying in the garage

Glad you had the chance to get out and about though

Gave mine a nice cleaning, nothing major, just a little gussying up. Supposed to get together with some folks tomorrow for an as-yet-to-be-determined cruise destination. Hope to get some pics.

That's awesome Tom. No photos?
I need to do a little detailing as well.

Thanks Nathan. I was nervous going in but like anything else I hate waiting. Fairly strait forward as you probably know.

Sounds like fun Tom. We talked about meeting up for a cruise this year but it didn't happen. We will have to make that happen next year for sure! :-)

Gave the green machine a quick detail in the garage today.
Man, I love Mustangs. The reason I was thinking this and saying it to myself was because I was seriously considering a Z06 w/Z07 package. I'm glad I went with the Mustang. Not sure I'm a "Corvette guy". lol
I was looking at my car after finishing and it literally brought a smile to my face. I'm sure most of you guys/gals know what I am saying.

Beautiful day today for a cruise out to Bangor, Pa with the Cops & Rodders Club out of Hackettstown, NJ. We had a convoy of about 20 cars, mostly vintage iron....mine was the newest car and only Mustang. We all split off from each other so there was no opportunity to take pics of the other cars. These were taken around the Belvidere NJ area just over the Pennsy border.

Finally had a chance to clean out the interior and plug in the battery tender. Took this pic several weeks back before they went and salted the roads.
