'Your ship', is that a ship you owned/captained/crewed?Thank you Chris!
Red Mist sounds good! Close to my initial thought of Misty the Pony ;)
Grabber blue looks cool! Too bad they don't sell that color in the Philippines.
I've been to Melbourne many times in the early 2000's as my ship was then chartered by Shell Australia.
I must say I hardly saw any Mustang or Camaro over there that time... or perhaps I didn't go ashore at the right moment ;)
Yes, you would have not seen many contemporary Mustangs in Melbourne back then, but things have changed. The Mustang has replaced the Ford Falcon for the must have car for Ford enthusiasts like me.
It has at times been the next best selling Ford model behind the Ranger, which is the second most popular vehicle in Australia. It is by far the best selling sports car, way ahead of the likes of the Mazda MX-5, etc.
Per capita, more Australians purchased Mustangs in 2018 than probably anywhere else in the world.
By comparison, since late last year only about 1,000 new Camaros are to be imported each year, converted to RHD by a third party, and sold through Holden (GM) dealers.
A few years ago classic Mustangs were imported by the boat load when the Australian dollar was in parity with the US dollar.
It is unfortunate 2017 Grabber Blue was not available in the Philippines.
