Mustangs from down under

Wasn't warm enough in FL so you had to fly into the belly of the beast? Seriously tho, stay out of any volcano tourist traps...

Its "there summer" right now. There highs are about what we have in Florida right now.

We went in Feb 2019 (last year) and I only packed shorts and short sleeves. Great weather. Only day I regretted the summer clothes was when we went through the "monsoon" (LOL)

I'm betting its hotter than the air temperature indicates in certain locations..

I found one mustang on the beach!

Arrived in Sydney. Gonna grab a shower and a nap. I'm gonna do a walkabout in downtown sydney. I'll keep you folks posted.

Not smokey here, but we all pray for rain.

Vacation. Thank god I bought tickets, or I'd be sitting back in steerage class with me and my couple of hundred new friends.

Really? Wow, that's quite a trip. I mean, when I sold company #1, I wound up in that vicinity, for a while, in some nice surf digs, with a couple of hot locals, but now? Fuck that

A day on the town yesterday and all I saw (that was of a US brand) was a jeep. I thought mustangs were big down here. I'll keep looking.

Hey Tom. In and around Sydney you should see heaps. The official S550 count is 26,000 in Aus. They are spread out though and I guess a lot of them are not daily drivers. Particularly our babies may not be taken into the CBDs and busier car parks.

Today might not be a good day. It's raining now, I hope it clears up. I'll keep looking with the camera ready.

Sure hope that rain helped the firefighters.

After a very long walkabout, I came across a single GT going down the road. I was hoping to catch an enthusiast to talk shop, but these cars are not as common as I thought here. Tomorrow is another day.

However, I did see a raptor, which was kind of cool.

I'm starting to think this is the Raptor Capitol of the world.....

New Zealand had many Raptor Rangers and Raptors. Many mustangs.

Keep looking.

When we picked up our cars, the shipping company was next to a Ford Performance shop in Auckland.

They had a Ranger Raptor on the lot. I will see if I can find the picture

Have fun - I was surprised to see all the el camino type cars like the Holden UTE SS. There's a Ford version too but I don't recall the name. In the outback, Toyota snorkled pickups are the norm. Enjoy - NZ is amazing.

Mustangs may not be used as daily drivers as much as they are in the USA Tom. You might see more on the weekend, or if you were down here in Melbourne, the home of Ford Australia, home of the Australian Grand Prix, etc.

This is a typical scene in the Australian bush (not really!)
