Uk Gt/cs :)

Well, after a LOOOONG wait, my GT/CS is here. Got a huge list of modifications to make, but thought I'd post some pics of it in it's (almost) stock trim.

Lovin' it

Great looking car CJ. I bet a Cal Special gets alot of attention in the UK. Are those taillights and side marker lights required by law there? Looking good!

Nice looking Gt/CS and welcome to the family......are the side marker turn signal lights added "at the dock" or did Ford add those at the factory? Might be interested in picking up a set....

The side repeaters were added here by my importer to legalise for use on UK roads. Will try and find where they came from!

CONGRATS! I am glad that there are many Brits who have their own taste and don't care what those TopGear clowns say about cars!
Your GT is beautiful! Promise me, I will be given a ride,when I am in UK in summer

Don't start me off about Top Gear! (my nickname is a coincidence by the way, I was known as stig long before the Top Gear stig existed! We are both racing drivers though By the way 'The Stig' REALLY rated the Mustang - asked my importer - who supplied the Roush - for a business card!)

On a recent episode they compared a '67 GT390 with a new GT500 and a Roushcharged GT (which the guys who supplied my car lent to them).

I couldn't believe how many 'facts' they got wrong!!

It's more about 'entertainment' than being a proper car-guy programme.
