My husbands fallen in love with an American!

[Tez3]

He saw her first yesterday and is pining away for love of her. Okay shes big and powerful, makes a noise that sets his heart racing. I can't get any sense out of him , all he has is this dreamy look in his eyes. I'll just have to wait until he's over it, I can't see them ever getting together, she's too expensive for over here.
this is the spitting image of her.


Must admit the engine does make a noise that gives you goosebumps lol!

 

[Xue Sheng]

Aww just tell him to look at one of these and he should be all better.

Aston Martin V12 Vantage

Well luv, maybe you should cross the line as well eh? It is ... everyman's fantasy ... no?

 

[Ken Morgan]

I had one years ago, tell him that after a few months they're no different then any other one. Their *** end goes all over the place, there's a gas problem, they require lots of maintenance, and quite honestly...you tire quickly of them. There are quicker and less expensive ways to get there.....

 

[shesulsa]

LOL! I like the Aston better.

 

[Tez3]

He's a bit of a car fan I'm afraid lol! On the garrison at the moment we have loads of great cars driving around, the lads have been saving their money while on deployment and buying cars when they get back, there's BMWs, VWs and even a couple of Jags which are very nice.There's one Ferrari as well! The Mustang he saw was left hand drive so imported in, it's very solid compared to the Japanese sports cars which we also have many of but it has that 'bubbling' noise when idling at the traffic lights then that throaty one when it drives off leaving everything standing lol. The Aston I admit is really nice.
It's the single lads who have been buying the swish cars, the married ones have new family cars as they also nearly all have new babies too lol!

Love Mustangs but I'm a Lexus guy.

If he lusts for a V8 burble, then tell him that a TVR will do the trick (maybe a Cerbera).

Otherwise, Xue is quite right; an Aston Martin is superior in every way to a Mustang. Even my missus will reluctantly admit to that and she is a lunatic Yank Tank fan-girl :lol:.

Expect for the fact...it's not a Mustang!

 

[Xue Sheng]

Not sure about the Aston...ok...how about this one instead of the Mustang

The 2009 Mercedes Benz McLaren SLR Stirling Moss

 

[MA-Caver]

Nah after watching that video here a year or so back... THIS is what I would like to have... heh...

Bugatti Veyron

You managed to say that with a straight face - well done :applause:.

The older Mustangs at least made up for their lack of effective performance and handling with looking cool (bow down and thank Steve McQueen for that). The modern ones ...

Xue, you have good taste in cars my friend.

TVRs are sweet, Suke. There's one parked down by the beach that I ogle each spring. I recall reading about these lovelies in the seventies. Hand built, as I recall, and I believe they still use side-curtains (removable windows, as opposed to roll-downs.)

All respect due to the Aston-Martin, I do think that Ford has finally given Mustang an overdue makeover that is worthy of its legendary badge.

 

[Jade Tigress]

I have to admit I'm a muscle car fiend. I have a manual '06 Mustang GT Deluxe that I love. But I don't like most Mustangs, even the "classics". There are other classic muscle car models that I absolutely love.

I'm not a fan of the new Charger. It doesn't look like a true muscle car to me. I've never driven one so I don't know how it feels.

I wanted the new Mustang because, not being mechanically inclined to keep a classic running, I could get the look, feel, and sound I so love.

My first car was a 1976 Regal with a 350, strong runner, fast and loaded. My second car was a 1987 Cutlass Salon (the rare model) 307 4barrel, loaded, very nice.

I'm not a sports car fan either. I like what I like. There's no accounting for taste.

 

[Xue Sheng]

I have to admit I'm a muscle car fiend.

Muscle Cars :EG:

However the only car I ever owned that could actually be called a muscle car was a 1973 duster with a 340 with a 4bbl

See below, however mine was solid green and and could be refered to as a sleeper...I liked sleepers :EG: Hiowever I only had this car for about 6 months

However I did have an old Buick for a long time with a 350 Big Block that was damn powerful and longer than a 8 foot bed pickup truck :EG:

 

[Sukerkin]

Mmm ... Cobra. Who cares if it can't stop or turn corners, some cars just have charisma :lol:

 

[Jdokan]

Have to admit I kinda like the American/German girls:

Sorry can't post attachments...need to get that figured out........

PFHHT

It's an American Muscle car...we don't need no stinking brakes or cornering we just go REALLY fast REALLY Straight

If I had the slightest interest in speed, handling, braking and power I’d get one of these.

But who needs handling and braking in the USA

However, it shames me to admit this, being American and all, but I did come really really close (several years ago) to getting one of these once :disgust:

 

[Omar B]

Damn right Xue! It's all about American muscle ... even though my daily driver is a very civilized Lexus sedan. One of these days though I'm gonna get myself a Corvette.

 

[Sukerkin]

Nice Porsche Xue!

However, my normal British Sports bias put to one side, my current number one dream car is a Mercedes SL300 Gullwing:
