Slightly used Mustang Mach 1, new to me as of last week. Will be my daily driver/dog mover.
In a more comfortable setup of the smaller wheels, non-sporty seats and auto gearbox as that makes more sense for me.

Had been looking for a mildly interesting main car for a while, and these kept coming up at around the same price as a well specced Octavia, so in my head the answer is clearly a return to V8 ownership. I've had a few TVR's in the past and this feels like a big fat one, and almost has a TVR engine connection.

The car feels great to drive, variable noise exhaust and Magnaride adjustable suspension being fantastic. More than happy to pootle round at 50km/H as it is blatting up the autobahns.

I will get some better pictures once the passes thaw out, later in spring.

That looks really nice. Looks better than most as it doesn’t have stupid massive 44inch wheels. Love the colour combo.

Thank you smile I'm too old for big wheels and low profile tyres. I prefer the retro look of these wheels anyway.
They did do one in purple which would have been a preference, but I could not find one around here.

That looks great - shame you didn't find a purple one though!

I now have the opportunity to drive the passes regularly, and can confirm that the car is incredible. Working the paddles took some time to get used to (10 forward gears!) but it's very rewarding.

Caught out slightly with some unexpected snowfall over the Gotthardpass today.
15,000kms in and zero issues so far. One service.

Still an excellent car.
Upcoming holiday trip to Spain in a few weeks.

It was my third choice colour...I was really after purple or green, but I don't mind the grey so much. I don't have fantastic colour range in my vision.
