He continusouly assures me that it will be a long term investment.!!With no more to spend, but I must admit I too am starting to share the passion. So much so that I too will be making entrys on the spotted thread, as I travelled home from work the other day on the Great Eastern Hwy  trying to keep up with a yellow mustang  Mussy 66 in front of me. I even turned down my radio to hear the exhaust note. God help me!!

Pacemaker extractors, twin 2" system, 289, 4 barrell carb, new dizzy. It certainly goes better.;_

Hi there Rohan's Treasurer... welcome aboard if you have not already been greeted in any previous post. Might I suggest you create your own logon - Rockette65 has a nice ring to it... :+
 

I smell trouble brewing! :w

 

i smell a second muzzie in the family :a

Justang ,i was thinking maybe an AC Cobra. But will need a bigger garage. I dont think the boss will be into it. But then again it might be a good trade off.

How about a hoist instead?  will it fit in your current garage??

[Rich]

Definitely a 3.
 Came home yesterday with 3 1/2 grands worth of engine, in bits, all new and said "I hope you dont mind".
 She replied, "Of course not, why would I mind?" "Get the best gear you can, you dont want it letting you down on a run"....

I would be a catagory 5, the Mrs isnt paticluarly interested in it until its finished but I can do what I like as long as the bills are paid. She has asked once or twice how much I have spent so far & I have told her I am to scared to add it up (which is the truth) Her & the post office delivery lady reckon I have recieved enough boxes of stuff to build 3 cars from scratch:w

[HEVEN67]

Well I had to spill the beans today, I got home from work not too late, made her an extra strong Scotch and Pepsi max, (cause hats her favorite).
She took one sip, complained how strong Id made it then without even a half breath said, How much 10K?
I was gobsmaced but releived, I had been found out! I didnt deny it but corrected her, "less than 8", I fugered I was slowly getting off the hook when she beared down on me withe the final brutal blow! " thats not the engine too? GULP!


Does anyone  know how to treat a head wound?

I told my Mrs when it was on the boat. She sort of snookered my and I spilt the beans. I did have a mates garage ready for the arrival until it cooled down but she was pretty good about it. She did ask me if I was going to sell any of my other cars and I just replied "why". I tried the line of "you couldn't live with just one pair of shoes, could you?" Seem to work. I don't try to tell the Mrs any lies about the $$ but i try to keep it on a need to know basis and she doesn't need to know most of the time.

You're right Mike,

I should have posted this here.
(Below was my initial response to the experience John had with this poor fella that came oh so close to buying a blue oval classic).

What was that guy thinking? He should have bought the car, placed it in storage, told his fun sheriff some bull story that they were conned $40k from some criminal syndicate working overseas and unfortunately they won't see the money again, then in about a months time drive home and say look honey!! I bought a $2 ticket at a raffle at some car show the other weekend and won this car. Then draw her attention to some of the mega buck S Code Fastbacks and real rare Shelby one's for sale on the net (she won't know the difference) and explain we can't sell this car because it is an appreciating asset. See baby its all about kharma? karma?
Dunno it might have worked.

John, at least its a positive sign that you know that car will sell real soon. During the musclecar craze of '07 your car would have sold within 5 minutes of being listed anywhere, then september '08 came by (I feel sick thinking about it).  But in all seriousness I know a few of us have been taking  the piss out of that poor bugger who came close to buying your fastback, if he was genuine in his excuse for backing out of the deal, I don't think his place would be the nicest household to be at the moment???

Sore feet.....do you know how hard it is to carry the car and provide motivation for it?



Oh and I'm 600kms away.

Thanks Nick,

Bugger that guy now. His loss. But the look of despair he had when he came back to pull out was clear evidance the wife had completely deflated his happy purchase a short time earlier. His voice was was down the bottom end of a piano. Other painful thing is he wasted a good 2 hours of my day!!

Brings a point forward though, to help enjoy our mustangs, you really need the other half to be at least on board, even leaning towards the keen end.
