    Heya James!

    Ah see the thing is, people see the Mustang and go "ooo nice" they see a 260 or for some of us hear it, and go "What the?...whats that?! oooo nice"

    Just get one, you'll love every minute of it

    To be honest Stu, I'd go out and buy one tomorrow, but I do need to sort some things out first, and leaving it closer to insurance renewal time makes sense in the grand scheme

    are you going to Brooklands James?

    there's potentially 41 of us V8's going so far, so plenty to look at and people to ask questions of

    14th of September, but also depends on what it would cost to cancel my existing policy earlier amongst other bits and bobs.

    My insurance was due for renewal this year in June or whenever it was, cost me £31 to cancel and switch to another insurer last month - Adrian Flux who covered me with Groupama insurance.

    There's no excuses y'know

    Hi James, welcome along. I live about 15 miles from Peterborough so if you are in the area and want to see another one (a ZTT) give me a shout.
