Well, as long as she doesn't start piling suitcases in it, Roger -- I guess it's OK! :D

How 'bout some pix?

Roger - please relay msg - "Great choice, Mrs. Howard. imho this is the first Mustang with any real style since the '67 model. I may be biased though, I once owned a '67 fastback".

The manufacturer's suggetred price on the same car, but not convertible is 25,000, but the cvt is in high demand and there are hefty premiums added on
I will pass on the compliment to the wife! I might get to drive it today!

Roger, your wife has a good choice for cars!!! It's a damn nice car!!! The Plymouth still look better. How much HP has the Mustang? I saw it in a television show last night. They tested a grey 2dr hardtop. Black looks way better!
The show was the show "Top Gear" Don't know if you know it. It's an english show and they don't like american cars that much.
This is what the guy said:
"The longest road in the UK, the A15. We are going to test this Mustang here. Look at this (guy shows a map). This is a long straight road but what is this!? It's a corner and this is an american car!"

Mike, how's your Kingsway doing?? Plans for hitting some shows in the Netherlands this year?

The Mustang GT has a 4.6 liter aluminum engine, which develops 300 horsepower. The convertible lists for (gulp!) U.S. $32,000.

Okay, this is a Plymouth site so I had better get back to Plymouth.
I am taking the Plymouth to a Mopar car show tomorrow. I am a bit nervous, not really having taken it more than two miles from home since last summer (shame on me!). The show is 30 miles one-way from here.
I changed the oil and filter and fueled it up. Oh, also installed the re-built master power window switch.

Roger, that is like giving a car away :D The prices in the netherlands for the 2005 Mustang start at € 57000 (about $ 72000) for the V6 coupe.
You don't even want to think about the price of a V8 300 hp. convertible :!:

Have a great time at the Mopar show and please make some pictures for us. And of course a blurb about your trip, it seems like you do not have a lot of confidence in your car. It will be ok after all it is a 59 Plymouth your driving 8)

Enjoy yourself,
Ron
