Mr Toad

Dave, generally no problem is registering a car more than 25 years old in the states, my mk1 is just undriveable on the road due to it's high state of tune, it is a full race car with a dog box, would be a complete pig on the road. The Mustang on the other hand with only 400+bhp is a pussy cat on the street just a little on the loud side.. Hope this helps.

Hi there from Houston. I am an expat living in the US, been here for 20+ years now, and you can do things here that would be cost prohibitive in the UK, like buy cars cheaply and petrol is now under 2 pounds /gallon so driving is affordable.. I have 2 Fords: 1) 1966 Mustang fastback racer which is also road legal here in Texas, how that is possible is a complete mystery with the car the way it is, but anyway great fun, the Police love it, I get stopped all the time just so they can look... 2) 1970/71 built up RS1600 originally from New Zealand, impossible to drive on the road. Racing in vintage events in the US ( and occasionally Europe), just finished a weekend at the new Formula 1 track in Austin which is a great track, RS1600 did not have it's best weekend, but never mind. I am looking for a 5 speed zf transmission if anyone knows where one is available? I also have a 1961 Morris Minor, which the dogs love, and it is impossible to ever suffer from road rage in a 948 Minor... Thanks in advance,
