Hello All!
two apologies:
- for taking so long to post a pic
- for posting such a horrible one
This pic was taken by my buddy with my phone, in the warehouse the importer has near Madrid, on june 24th at noon, which is the moment I took possesion of the beast.
The odissey's not over yet, the green plates are provisional, pending homologation of the car (yes, you may laugh hard, in Spain you need to get an individual homologation for a Mustang Gt stock bone...as if in Spain we were not completely sure that Ford can actually make cars...I understand if you don't believe me), so I still have some more fences to jump before I can actually relax.
Nevertheless I am in love with the car, such a great drive!
Got it with Ford racing springs and really happy with handling, what to say about acceleration?
All in all, very happy with the decision despite all the hassle so far.

The experience awesome.
Have driven it 2000 kms in two weeks.
And I just love the way it drives, it's an automatic, nearly stock bone, just ford racing springs.
So far I really don't think it needs anything else.
Great mileage so far, 10 L/100 km when on freeway and around 12-13 when in town, with a lot of stop and go. Simply great.
The ipod connectivity is great (not like in my former bmw), and the bluetooth is fine.
Just what I wanted, happy as a child.
cheers!

From: CenTex...sort of
If it wouldn't cost me so much, I'd ship my car to Europe and drive some of the roads they have over there for about two weeks. Vacation of a lifetime.
As a consolation, I'll just have to um...settle...for driving the millions of miles of roads in the US. I think I'll live.
