So 3 years has passed since i picked up my mustang
and now she lives here
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201912135298239
Unfortunately, I'm shifting it on to a new home, and I'm really sad about it!
No more "yeeooo mustang" heckles from bystanders and people egging you on to rev it up for them - I genuinely am gutted about that as it was like driving around a celebrity at times.
Mostly I'll miss the grabber blue colour - I never knew it was my favourite colour until i got one!
Things i won't miss?
In truth, if i had got this car in Auto i think i would probably have kept it, and even as i'm writing this i'm rethinking whether i actually want to get rid of it at all....
BUT - i did try and force myself into selling it by purchasing this baby - which was always my dream car - and in fact the only reason i got the mustang was because i couldn't afford this at the time!
I was slightly tempted to go up to the 2020 maybe in the orange fury, auto box - but price hike, and it was all a bit just, why?
So here is my love letter to the mustang - first car i've actually been gutted to part with - had my first kiss with my new partner (and for sure who i'm going to marry) in it, after a very turbulent end to a previous relationship
Maybe if i wrap the f type in grabber blue as a homage to the mustang i'll feel better about it.
In other news, the F Type R is ridiculous! Exhaust is insane, and you can go sideways without doing a 180 which is nice

- i got it in manual, and I have sciatica. Working the clutch KILLED me on anything longer than half an hour's journey
- Having to rev the shit out of it to get moving - I guess the downside to no turbo or supercharger
- I was never truly in love with its side profile
- The number of tyres i went through
