So it's time to say goodbye to my Mustang. Believe me this is a shock to me. 2 weeks ago nothing was further from my mind. I nearly had the springs/stance done last month. I've just put a set of PS4s's on. New exhaust and stripes earlier in the year. There were plans. Then bang.
A couple of weeks ago we moved to live in Scotland, a lovely little house on the side of loch. Its beautiful, idyllic even, however parking. When we viewed the house I don't remember the driveway being so steep. I thought the turn space was ample. While it probably is the number variables make it a nightmare. Parking the car has begun to feel like defusing a bomb with oven gloves on. There are so many bodywork hazards and I like my bodywork.
nearly took a wing mirror off (millimetres to spare) on a wall next to the house backing her in. I was so busy focusing on another hazard I missed it, lucky really.
First day here I took a wrong turn on to what I thought was my drive way to my new house, it wasn't!! I ended up having to do what felt like a 400 point turn to turn round, at one point I thought I was actually stuck. It was really quite stressful, fuck me it was narrow.
I can see "bodywork" bills in my future if I keep it. So it's time to down size and go for something more suited to where its parked and return to my hot hatch roots. The fully sensored, camered and performanced up 2019 Focus ST. Parked her up with no bother when I got home.
It's been a funny ownership experience one way and another. Not always a happy one. An accident claim here, a pigeon through the front grill there. It always had a tinge of "cursed" about it. But I've mostly, loved every minute.
As I say I never expected my Stang journey to end so abruptly, but there you go. It was always a conversation starter. So many people commented anytime she was parked in public, people really liked the car. It did what every great car should do, it made me happy and it seemed to make other people happy. I'll miss it but needs must
Thanks for the help along the way, it's been a great ride. Good luck to everyone. Cheers
