Well set up Mustang in the UK



Nice bit of driving from about 45 seconds.

Flat, straight and dry road. Slow speed and a huge crowd of people filming. He puts it in the rough.

I love the way everyone is cackling like hyenas. This is eternal youTube fame for some poor schmuck.

I used to take a couple of lads to school in London that were always talking about getting Mustangs. One of them, Paul, was always talking about how wonderful the green Bullitt Mustang was, like it was the best car in the world. The other one, Malcolm, couldn't stop talking about doing burnouts with a red Mustang GT. Took these two to school for years, as they kept repeating 8th grade.

Well, no wonder. He was driving on the wrong side of the road. But seriously, cars going in all directions with testosterone flowing everywhere. I couldn't see, but did the Mustang driver dodge something?

Worst video ever. Don't people watch these things before posting them?

A couple of thoughts after watching that video:

1. It must not take much to get a crowd of people gathered together to watch a bunch or ordinary cars making a left-hand turn at an average intersection in the UK.

2. I want my two minutes back!

3. I don't know what's worse -- the Mustang driver's ability, or the ability of the person taking that video.

Don't take much, my neighbor lost control of his +2005 Mustang in the cold wet when one tire touch the painted stripe in the middle of the road as he made his turn. Spun it and hit the curb, they had to straighten the frame, nearly totaled it.

It well illustrates the kind of people that buy Mustangs in the UK, despite there being a surfeit of proper cars here

The "plod" was standing there on foot directing traffic FYI. He shifted right to drive around the vehicle and hit the brakes, and found dust, all at the same time. Easing off instead of slamming the brakes, would of been better.

Yep, all that and probably talking to a passenger or making a cell phone all the while in addition.
