Very cool pictures; what kind of response does that car get? Do the Londoners even know what it is?

People love it. It's funny in a way because their are so many Lamborghinis and Ferraris running around all making their obnoxious noise (I don't know if you've heard a F340, yuck), that my car really stands out, especially now with the headers on it. There are lots of American car buffs here, but they tend to be interested in the late 50s/early 60s big cars (either stock or customized). There are lots of muscle cars too.

People generally ask what it is and how big the engine is. Many ask if it's a Mustang, I guess because of the Shelby road racing cars being more prevalent here. I end up doing a bunch of this , but I don't mind. Last night I was messing around in Hyde Park and threw the fan belt. While I waited for the car to cool down so I could put it back on, a bunch of people stopped by to look at the car. A couple from Saskatchewan, a Russian guy, a German, etc. Muscle cars have a universal appeal
