I grew up with the family car having always been a Ford.

As a young teenager I was inspired by such Australian muscle cars as the GTHO and Coupe Falcons but when I encountered my first Mustang, an exotic car in the Australian 70’s I got my first hint there were bigger beasts out there.

I’ve long since shed my insular loyalty to a motoring brand just because that’s what my Dad drove but still to this day I find my self singing along in my head to Mack Rice’s Mustang Sally when ever I see a Mustang old or new.
