Marty? Is that you? :shock:
My best mates family owned 2 local dealerships and it started out as us playing with things down there but ended up being the oldest Saturday boy in town lol.

My mate dropped dead on his 31st birthday 12 yrs ago which has probably contributed to my loss of interest ☹️

2010: Iveco as the work van and the BMW 535d, plus a Daihatsu 4x4

2020: Ford Mustang 5.0l convertible, Jaguar F-Pace and still got the Daihatsu (although it's actually a different one because the engine went pop after 3 weeks and the dealer bought it back! I bought another for a bit more money, better spec, newer and half the miles)

How do you rate the Mustang? I’m seriously considering a coupe this year.

I didn't have a car ten years ago (got the Micra in 2011)

Going from a Micra to a 330 in ten years seems ok though.

Depends on the spec and shape (pre facelift or facelift), plus what you’re after really. I’ve always wanted a Mustang and can therefore accept some of the quirks with a ‘mid-Atlantic’ car (it’s a massive step away from American car build quality and it’s edging closer to European car quality with each model year).

I don’t mind doing a fairly long post if you want me too, I’ve got a fair bit of experience with them based on the dealership fiasco with mine.

I'll type one out and stick it in the cars section so it doesn't clutter this thread up :)

Right, at the start of 2010 I *think* I had an E39 530i Touring, an E36 323i Touring, and a SIII SWB Landie. Wifey had an E87 118d.

At the start of 2020 we’ve got this lot, plus an F01 740d.

I couldn't remember but since trawling through the photos on my phone it was VX220 and VW T5. I've had loads since and now have the supercharged mx5 and Mercedes Vito so quite similar.
