Looking on the bright side, the way things are going you won't need the baby seat to fit. Only kidding!
I'm just under 6ft and you would easily get a child up to 10 years old behind me driving. I'm sure that you can find a baby seat to fit too.

Is it time for an Essex meeting end of March? I think so. Just need to find a venue nearer to the M25 than where I live so that the others can join in. Although we could go to the MOCGB venue which is the Fox & Goose A414 near Chelmsford.
Cheers mate. I wouldn't have minded...
RoyalGuard - seriously, you are leaving all your mates and a lot of banter behind. Buy the Yank because it will always be a joy for all sorts of reasons. Don't get a German just because it is efficient - you won't feel the love after you leave the salesman's hands.
Ideally buy both though :)
Hi Kristian, It needn't be expensive getting a '65 if you start with a coupe - though you'll probably want a fastback to match your other wheels :thumbsup:
Cheers Danielle!
I've seen your pics on the Ruby with Stripes thread and yours looks pretty amazing too - loving the wheels. I guess Ford didn't want a mismatch of hood colour to stripe (imagine silver hood :lol:). I also thought silver ott's with Guard and other combinations would have been...
I think it could be to do with the stripes. There was a queue apparently and it is an off-line process. It has of course been commented here that there was no queue order at all. I'm going to try and forget that now :D
It looks pretty good up close - approaching the car for the first time was amazing. A couple of employees in the dealership said they had changed their minds about what colour was best. I do want to get a glossy top coat on it but will wait until the scratch fix.
'65 is gold with a green...
I finally have my Mustang :headbang:

A general reply to this thread. Suspension has to be stiffer on taller cars so they don't fall over. The Merc A class is a case in point because the Mk1 version really did fall over (failing the Swedish Elk test) and they had to stiffen it up.

It follows that low slung cars don't...
