About My Car
VROOOOM... Here comes the little lady in the little
American sporty looking car, small but powerful. Do you
know how it is to own a car like this one and especially
in Stockholm, Sweden, Europe ? Sometimes embarrassing but
most of the time it's fun. Mustang II was sold new in
Sweden and even had a dealer brochure with Swedish text.
The Mustang Cobra II that I have was never sold new
in Europe, so the only ones that are here are imported by
private persons. Mine was bought by a Swedish couple that
were visiting relatives in Chicago,, they weren't going
to buy a car,, they just saw it and had to bring it home.
I already had a MII when I bought this one, I
couldn't afford to keep them both but I had them for a
couple of weeks, and I took the best parts from the MII
and placed on the MCII before I sold the MII. After the
Swedish couple had owned the car it ended up with a guy
that painted the car Porsche red with black stripes, it
was well done but it should be black with gold stripes
and I am now restoring it back to original color. This is
a unusual car in Sweden even the fact that it was sold
new here,, we use salt on our wintner roads and most of
them became "Rustangs".
I am a member of classic mustang club in Sweden, less
than 1% is MII the others own earlier Mustangs. Owning a
car like this one in Sweden being a girl gives me a lot
of strange questions -"this couldn't be your
car", "who did you borrow it from?",
"can you drive this car?", "you don't know
what engine it is in the car", "is it your
boyfriends? does he really lend it out to you?"
Don't mentioning when I stop to fill up the car, I get a
lot of new "friends" all the time and all they
ask these kind of questions.
I won't give you any technical description of the
car, there is a lot of that on the Lost
Pony Round-Up! It's much nicer to describe how it is
to drive the car... summer, open road, window down,
sunglasses and the wind running through my hair, no need
for a stereo- I listen to the engine.
