Yet another UK meet!!

OK, this one's a bit different as there were only 5 Mustangs. Still thought you guys might get a kick out of seeing a few of our Euro classics........with a few US cars thrown in!



























Other than the Mustangs, this was my favourite. The handle for the bootlid is an old Coca-Cola bottle opener. Oh, and he doesn't slow down for horses........






Yes, there were some Mustangs there

Wow that's an eclectic mix of rides! I just saw Top Gear for the first time; do you have any plans of going to that show? Is it filmed in Britain?

Hi Jed

Yeah, Top Gear is filmed about and hour or so away from where I live. Unfortunately, attendence is by ticket only and you apply via a website. I logged my interest about 2 years ago and I'm still waiting for tickets

Geeez well since two years went by maybe it will happen soon. Looks like there's a lot of standing on that show. That can be grueling. I stayed in line for The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno. We waited from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. but it was worth the wait. My diva Gloria Estefan was the musical guest.

How you make it on that show!

Yeah, the vans are........um........er.........unique.

The Capri's are cool. They were, as I'm sure you're aware, the European equivilent of the Mustang. I've had quite a few of them in my time

I remember buying a UK Ford Magazine when I was around 12 years old. I was visiting Australia at the time, so thats how I got it.

Anyhow, I was perusing through the for sale section, because I was very much in the mood to buy a car, looking at mostly Capris, a few Mustangs, on of which was a Mustang II like mine. Plus the articles on the Capris sure helped me like them more
