Yes, of course we Europeans are not buying American cars because of the 7.5% in import tariff difference. That’s it...

I had this trick the other way around. I drove an American friend on a European highway where the speed limit was 100km/h. I drove my Mustang, which has a mile speedo.

My mom owned a Peugeot 205XS. For her, just a small city car to get around in. But actually a sporty version of the great Peugeot 205.

I’m pretty sure they are at their lowest now. They will go up. You can see the rarer SN95s (Cobra, Mach1, rare colors) already going up in price.

My 1998 Mustang in Europe is even covered by “youngtimer insurance”.

I bought my dream car, a 1998 Mustang GT in bright atlantic blue, in 2010 and had it shipped to Europe. Since then it has become my wedding car, holiday car and my daughter’s favorite.

You assume the government makes the companies tick. That’s not correct, the government does only what the companies want.

All these news items are related.

One of the most popular SN95 models, in the most wanted color, manual, 50k miles, in excellent shape with the right mods.

I’m another fan of the SN95. After owning a V6 1995 in Europe I went through the trouble of importing a 1998 GT in Bright Atlantic Blue, which I still consider the most beautiful car ever.

This shooting, along with every other (school) shooting since the one in Florida, didn’t even make the news in the Netherlands.

With a working supercharger this would be a nice car. Good mods, nice special edition, overall a good looking car. But with a broken supercharger, at this price, has to be CP.

“from Poland” is automatic CP for me.

The funniest thing about this story is that the last name of Mr. Poepjes actually translates to “little shit”.

Is that car from Sweden? In Monterey?

Dutch car builder DAF built a F1-car with a variomatic transmission (it can be seen at the DAF museum), but it turned out to be so much faster than any other F1 car it was banned immediately.

You can be proud.

I’ve seen a million of them around, even driven a few and never gave them much notion. Just a small crapcan that everybody’s mom drives.

I agree with you. Ford tried it before - they used Volvo to make a classy car that could compete with BMW/Merc/Audi. It didn’t work. It seems now Ford itself is taking that route.

My favourite is the GMP 1:18 Mustang Mountain Dew racer. To find a perfectly detailed model of the race version of my own Mustang, with my lucky number 16 and in the livery of my (then) favourite drink was just too perfect.
