Been lurking in the wings the last few days as u do. Thought its about time i joined in.!

Ok.. so in the last..Just 3-4 years ! have been down the `Classic` Route in the main..

Came away from the Motorbikes and started with a....

2001 Porsche Boxster 3.2s followed by a
2005 GT Mustang S197 followed by a
1934 Ford 5 window Hot Rod 350ci followed by a
1957 Chevy 3100 Stepside Hot Rod 350ci i imported from Illinois

Followed by;
a 1967 Mustang Fastback 302..V8 I imported from Michigan USA
.. sold this before Xmas and imported a..

1967 Camaro `SS`350 from Massachusetts which is my current ride...for now anyways...lol.!

So was aware of the New Mustang coming to our shores... and didnt pay too much attention tbh..
It was only until recently i met up with a few MOCGB Members...and BOY!
Love at first site:love:

Ok...so my 2005 GT S197 was nice..had a tricked up suspension and was immaculate...But hey have they got the looks of the new S550 right??

YOU BET THEY HAVE !!:headbang:

Followed by a blast out ride with GregT on here...and a test drive with John Grose...and i`m having sleepless nights lol.:headbonk:

Having another drive tomorrow hopefully...and then need to make a decision i guess about the Camaro....Its a Stunning Car..and runs like a dream and will continue to use it for this summer at least..
Cant afford both, which is a shame

Why do i give myself a headache...:shrug: But Hey lifes too short to worry
Watch this space...i guess

What should i do???? Lol...

Welcome to M6G :thumbsup:

Glad you're liking the S550......as much as I adore my S197, I know the S550 is in another league as a driver's car.

As for your Camaro? :love:

Love that SS, shame you can't keep both :(

Welcome along, the S550 is an awesome performing and looking machine, you'll, without a doubt, buy one :thumbsup:

welcome :ford:

Wow. That's a car history to be proud of! Any photos of the stepside? I love those things...

That's a hell of a predicament to be in. I would hold on to the classics if I was you, certainly wouldn't swap one for an s550. Keep the Camaro, save for the Mustang ;)

Welcome and lovely SS, you obviously know your US cars.

I tried to change to GB but my order was locked in so stuck with Magnetic. My Wife hated GB but that wouldn't have stopped me ordering one. Perhaps I may re-order in 2 years time once I've seen one. Good luck with whatever you choose. :headbang:

Lol..! I need to get a grip.. In no hurry.. Would love to keep the Camaro, course i would...but no where to put it either...Only a single garage.
Cant afford the both, and just bought a new touring caravan.. The wife would divorce me..

Tried that one a few years ago..trying to convince her the stage 2 tuned Sierra Cosworth i bought was a daily driver...lol !

Shes beginning to see through me after 30 yrs...

I will look after the Camaro for you Pete ;)

On a serious note, if you don't mind me asking...What would that be worth? Just curious
