Two Mustangs in the pic, his and hers?? surely not. I've just put my rates up!!

 

[Dan]

WOW. TileMaster. Welcome. Love your cars. I have a couple of Turbo's myself

Think an overseas are on the forum would come in handy?

 

[TileMaster]

uug.......... I drive a 2006 Ford E350 Extended econoline van. I just got it. I also have a 1997 Dodge B3500 extended van as well. It is back up now...and for real messy tear out jobs. It has 246,000 miles and runs like new.


I still have 2 mustangs....both 2004's and one is a Mach1 and the other is a base model with a 6 cylinder....the wife drives it.

Not that I am making tons of money....I still get tight from time to time and probably should save for the future...I just work alot. I worked through this weekend and will
have worked 13 days in a row by this Saturday. I am taking this weekend off.


I have to come over there sometime with you guys.

i'm a bit like you .......workaholic...lol............cant be doing too bad though ...you got 4 motors..lol

Your Mustang sounds sweet! What power output has it got? 0-60 etc?

What 'turbos' have you got Dan? I'm love my cars!

 

[TileMaster]

Yes I hear it's more exspensive to operate a vehicle over there.

Fuel is about $2.64 a gallon here....that helps alot. Sad thing is it I still think it should be a dollar a gallon.

I still pay on the new van, but the cars are all paid for.

As far as power goes....measured on a rear wheel horsepower dyno....it did 428hp
to the rear wheels or about 525 at the flywheel. It ran the 1/4 mile in 11.68 seconds.

She's wounded right now though....enough to warrant a rebuild. With only 14,500 miles on it. I am trying to squirrel away some money to rebuild the engine. So it sits in the garage gathering dust for now.

What 'turbos' have you got Dan? I'm love my cars!

Last year I had....

Ford Escort RS 1.6+ Turbo '89 with 90 Spec kit on it.
Celica GT4 2.0 4WD Twin entry Turbo
MR2 GT T-Bar 2.0 Wacky Modified to **** Twin entry Turbo
Corolla T-Sport non-turbo but just as quick
Mitsubishi Spacewagon (the 7 seater workhourse I used for festivals and local deliveries
Aprilia RX 125
Road legal imported Quad-bike

Although now I'm banned so i've sold the celica, RS and the crosser. But i'm keeping the others I think as I'm off my ban in a few weeks.

 

[TileMaster]

Dan.....never heard of one of those cars.......lol.

I will see if I can find some pitures or videos from the race track and let you see the Mach in action.

 

[TileMaster]

Here you go....enjoy.

My fastest run to date.

Nice list Dan!

Always fancied an RS turbo. Thing is they are daft money nowadays.

I have only one car at the moment (the woe of setting up a business i guess!). Saab 900se turbo. It has a few mods, about 210 bhp at the moment. The thing I love most is that no sod knows what it is. Manufacturer figures say 0-60 in 6.9 so people look a little shocked when an old mans car leaves there BMW for dead while making alsorts of grunting and whooshing noises! lol

I get some funny looks though. I'm 26 and I drive a Saab!

PS You'll have to post some pics. Maybe there could be a thread about peoples cars?
