You can start learning about them right now. I started collecting Musclecar magazines before I learned how to drive.

I'm keeping these cars for now The 67 GT is already titled to my son. But, I can source out one for you if the time comes. There are still many Mustangs here waiting for their rightful owner.

Check out the brand spanking flashy new Mustang avatar! :tu:

I've been checking on Ebay regulary for Mustang magazines and information books.. I do want to get into learning more about them. Unfortunely my knowledge of mechanical stuff and engines doesn't stretch too far! I'd like to learn now, so that when the time comes to own one, I'll know what I'm doing!

Perhaps if we're still about on NamePros in a few years time, you can hook me up to your sources on getting a Mustang! Unfortunely to import a Mustang here to NI and then get insurance and whatever for me, would cost ALOT of money. Also, I don't have the right 'equipment' to store such a car. (I'd need a 24/7 hour guarded bomb-proof garage form where I come from!)

The mustang avatar is back!

Yep, lots of bargain reading materials at eBay. Bought a couple of engine rebuilding books there. I suggest you visit the forums. Here are my favourites:

Thanks, i've spent countless hours working on them and money that my wife hasn't even seen

This year I am going to try and build an Infiniti G35 Coupe (skyline), if my wife lets me...

I might have to sell most of my playthings to buy a station wagon- the wife is belly-aching about having kids...

Hey Anthony, I guess there aren't very many of us truck guys here. Everybody seems to be into sports cars and stuff.

 

[x3knet]

My dad just aimlessly handed me a check for $5000, I'm putting that toward a 2003/04 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS or GTS for when I get my temp license when I turn 17.

We just bought a new 04' Ford Expedition XLT (nice red metallic colors, its the version right under the Eddie Beauer) and my dad bought the whole thing, but my grandfather offered ot pay half but my dad said no. So my grandfather gave my dad a check for $15,000 anyway for half, and my dad is giving my a third of it :D Me lucky!

Yeah, just what is that all about? Can a sports car haul stuff? I think not!

Are you guys refering to trucks as in big mumma jubba cabs and trailers, or pick-up's, van type trucks?

I see quite alot of pick-up trucks in America... Ok, so I've only been there twice, but there seems to be 2 or 3 pick-ups for every 1 car! Quite surpising actually.

Over here in Northern Ireland there is like 10 cars to every 1 jeep... We don't really have truck like pick-ups here...

Pick-up's, not sixteen wheelers or anything like that.

Here's what it looks like:

Dodge Ram 1500

We do have a lot of trucks. I live in Texas, and everybody I know has at least one. They are useful to carry stuff, and with a Quad cab like mine, it's also a family car. It's a pretty safe way to carry kids around because of its size.

 

[redhippo]

landrover 110 4X4 ( just sold off)
1979 mercedes 200
1985 Toyota Landcruiser 4X4

Can cars handle the rolling hills of Ireland? I would think more people would have 4x4s there!

We have little small twistly, bumpy back/country roads that tackle and avoid them hills!

As for 4x4s over here... People just use tactors!
