It was part of the Virgin Atlantic float/team/group and apparently the car got a lot of attention - people asking what car it was etc. When I first heard "there's a red Mustang in the middle of gay pride in Birmingham", my initial thoughts were genuinely 'what's he up to now'. Having said that, I'm sure you'd have driven slowly down Hurst Street for half an hour for £500.

Yeah, the car gets so much attention regardless, undoubtabley people at work are going to ask if that was me....

I'd have driven up the streets and back down for £500 lmao, let whatever pride people wanna throw ribbons over it too....

I'm sure there's a filthy euphemism in there somewhere.

Not a mustang but saw a focus rs over the weekend. Looked pretty cool...

Cant beleive that after 6 months and nearly 6k miles i still havent seen one "in the wild" whilst i have been in mine

Seen about 8 focus RS's in the wild already, common as muck by the looks of things, deffo doesn't get the attention or rep of a stang ;)!

Saw an RS pulling out of my local Ford garage last week, another car that looks naff in white.

Not an S550 - still waiting to see one in the wild! But thought this was worth a post:

Not the best example but still pretty good and RHD too! Had a chat with the owner who was equally pleased to have spotted my Orangustang!

Spotted a silver convertible in the rain at 8.00am this morning on the A3 between Esher and Tolworth heading towards London.

Nice! Cool to see a rhd, do tell us more! Did he spill hoe much he paid for it? Where was it built?

Hmm, maybe I should spend longer watching the road when I am driving, I have seen about 50 now! However, spotted my first twin on Saturday - a Guard Grey on the A14 near Cambridge. Pleased to report that it was looking good!
