| | | yeah, if I had the money i'd pay some garage to basically take the hull of a mustang mach 1 and put in modern everything else. *sigh*..
one of my housemates at college has a dad who has good contacts- with some patience he could probably find me a good secondhand car that'd be very cheap. Like around 1 or 2 k. lol, she told me this story about a guy who got this car spray painted for his girlfriend, with their names or whatever else on it- her dad is a spray painter - and once he had it, he found out she had cheated on him, and he just wanted the car out of his sight, so this totally amazing car went for an insanely low price, and the paint job could just be re-done.

| | | you're quick.
hehe yeah, guess so.. some lucky bastard is driving around with that car right now.
also, i'm told that there was this extremely rare sports car (ferrari?) that they only made 10 of, and they have 9 in a museum, and the last 1 is lost somewhere in the west of ireland. Probably rusting away in some farmers shed or something...
hah, you guys should've seen the cars on the road in ireland before we had a car test. Old hatchbacks held together with bailers twine, taped up wind screens, tractors with no roll bar, etc.

| | hahah  really? wow. They've become super-thorough here. the garages love it. they want to put EVERYTHING on the bill, and a lot of it they don't even do, so you have to be very specific and ask only for what is actually needed.

As older cars will take up a lot more of the force of the impact and not "transfer" it like newer cars. | |
