Hi there
Filling station comments:-
"What is it"
Its a Mustang......
"Wow its gorgeous and so big"
"What a lovely car, definetely the best looking Stang as the newer ones are dull"
It is a a new one, in fact the brand new 2005 model...
"No way I thought it was an original 60's one restored, you mean there making them again?"
Yup as common as Mondeo's in the USA, wow we need cars like that....
"Where can I buy one"
You can't its a one off.
"Sheesh I bet that cost a fortune to fill up"
Yup 15MPG and a very light wallet afterwards!
Comments after a Toyota Celica VVT with very loud exhaust, sound Vtec'ish.. newish Sporty thing tried keeping up:-

"My god it goes some, left me standing"

"You went round those corners and roundabouts dead quick, never knew yank cars could corner like that"
Yeah in the dry its superb, the wet though is another story, bye.....VROOOMMMM!
Comments from a guy in an BMW M3 on the A500 who tried to accelerate away from me in the fast lane and realised he needed to pull over.
"What car is that m8?"
Mustang
"I normally smoke most things in this but you just wanted to suck me in and eat me, what engine is in it"
4.6l V8 with about 350BHP (was before I fitted manifolds, headers etc.)
"Its real quick m8"
Yeah it goes OK and drinks the juice well...
Some women with her daughter in a Z3 at filling station
"May I ask you what car that is"
Mustang

UPS Guy at filling station:-
"WOW a Mustang wished there was more of these over here"
Yep absolutely love it
"What cubic inch is the engine"
281 4.6l Ford ALU Small Block
"Different, thought it be a 330 cubic inch, how does it go"
Likes to be revved and is lightweight so it goes pretty damn well
"Well I could for hours but best let you go pay for your petrol"
Cheers, cya
American guy at filling station:-
"Great to see proper car over here and a Saleen wow!"
Yeah not many over here and its a great car
"Yeah you betcha, in the US we see loads every day, but not Saleens"
Saleen done a good job, handles well and weighs a lot less than stock Mustang
"Cool guess your filling it up regulary then"
Yup all the time and unfortunately for us fuel here as you can see is horribly expensive
"yeah true, far cheaper back in the US"
Anyway bet go pay for my fuel, cya
Some old guy at traffic lights in a Rover 75
"Is that a Mustan?"
Yup sure is
"Whats this Saleen business is that a bodykit?"
Nope they make the car
"I thought Ford make them?
They kinda do, but Saleen get from Ford in bare state and are like say AMG are for Mercedes so Saleen improve cars from say Ford and Dodge, making them look nicer, handle better and go faster
"ah I see, real nice, I've got an NSX at home that I hardly use"
One of my all time favourite cars, truly amazing!
"Yeah I keep it stored so its like new"
WOW, anyway lights about to change, cya about
"yeah cya mate"
2 Guys in an American style mobile home type thingy:-
"Phwoooarrrrr mate a Mustang?"
Yes mate
"Give the a rev for us"
Lots of like kiddy giggle and gona out expression on faces - My god man thats just evil
"Yeah gotta love it, cya.....
The amount of people who pull up next to me is quite unreal and everybody absolutely loves it, never known a car to be so well liked by all.
