Eleanor!!!
« on: June 07, 2012, 06:37:52 pm »
Drove this today 270 mile road trip to Kent and back, surprise for bridegroom:













Similar to the one in Gone in 60 seconds.

7 litres just shy of 500bhp

No power stearing, drum brakes on the rear, 10 miles to the gallon!

Sounds awesome :happy2:

Signed by Carroll Shelby! RIP :sad1:

....Cheers for educating me, Jussa  :drinking:

My generation of Mustang is more Steve McQueen in Bullitt:  http://www.streetfire.net/video/bullitt-the-most-famous-car-chase-scene-ever_172824.htm

Steve McQ did all his own 'stunt' driving in that movie too  :notworthy:

In fact NIcholas Cage did alot of the stunt driving in Gone in 60 Seconds because he's such a car fan and influence by SMQ...
