I currently have a Honda S2000 which I am very fond of, however I have recently noticed that I'm getting a little too big for it, making longer journeys rather uncomfortable! Therefore I'm thinking of getting a more suitable replacement & IMO a car that suits my personality a bit more as I'm not a hairdresser!! (only joking fellow S owners!) I love the look of the 2005 Mustang and so I was wondering if any of you guys have had any experience of it since there aren't that many in my area I can see before I decide to start looking properly. What's Quality, ride, handling etc like?
Cheers in advance for any help.

Hi Huw
Try mustangmotorsport.com.au Current model Mustangs in RHD! so you can use all that power and overtake all those holiday caravans you get down your way.
It all depends on how rich you are and how badly you want one. OK so they're 'down under'
but if the above applies? As I understand it,from UK Holden guys,it's costs about £1K to freight Aus /UK plus all import charges Then of course there's the dreaded SVA for imports.
E.g I knew a guy who imported a Falcon Cobra XC, Adelaide to Felixstowe,cost him £851 plus imports and taxes.
As I say it's how badly etc.
You could also check out carpoint.com.au and carsales.com.au While you're down there,look at Aussie Falcons. Ok they've got four doors but the XR8s and FPVs have massive power,and the earlier XR8s,the AU 3s can be had for reasonable money.You can take your family and your mates out in them too. If you only want/need two doors, dare to be different,look at Utes. Current range are called BAs. Nice! Good luck mate.
It's all about money.
Me? nah way too much. Just love em!
