It appears the 'enemy' is coming in RHD - Be warned Ford

This should keep Ford on their toes, as at the moment they have a kind of monopoly on RHD muscle (or pony or whatever you want to call it!) cars.

fuck no it was something i could take around the med and back to the uk rather than having to fly they call them yacht's but not a single sail to be seen. last time i went on a sailing boat i almost murdered myself :(

i specced up the build i want while in the states just over $92k which I didn't think was that bad considering what i loaded it with. I'm working on the basis that its going to be roughly 1:1.
I just hope the build quality is better than the mustang.

Will seriously consider selling the Porsche to get a C8. Love the looks and can't argue with the performance

Hell fire! Those Camaro's look the dogs bollocks. They howl like a scolded junk yard dog when opened up. In my opinion the are far more muscular than the Mustang. The current model shape shows just the right amount of retro respect to its early ancestors, like the S550 you can see its pedigree... If only it was right hand drive, I've always liked Ford styling. Never considered myself a Chevy guy but I'd have one in a heartbeat. But for me it'd have to be a right hooker... Now the 'vette C8 - no matter which side the steering wheel is fitted, I think its pig ugly. It is too far removed from its classic looks to be recognised. I don't care how well it'll handle, I just don't view it as a muscle car any longer. It's now more a Ferrari wannabe. Like the Mustang Mach-E its too much of a jump in the wrong direction style wise... Ford have the uk market sewn up unless Chevy built and distribute the Camaro in rhd. And if Dodge would do the same with the Challenger it'd really open the market up.

someone said the following to me once and I’d stick by it.
“ dear boy,
If it Floats, Flies or F**ks...
Rent it! “

Yes, I was tempted too (still am), but £2000 to Ian Allan Motors to reserve a slot? That's nice, long interest free loan to them for maybe 2 years! And what if they go bust between now and then? Bye bye £2000.

I would buy a C8 if they were available now but a lot can happen in 2 years and maybe something else will suit me better by then
