Well, not "East" really, but East of here anyhow...

that's more like "Europe meets USA" but I get your point
 
It's backwards. (see the GT emblem ahead of the front tire)
 
Yeah, I reversed it to put the Mini on the left. Wanted it to seem like he was "talking" first. Good catch. Should have just Photoshopped out my GT emblem. Or maybe I wanted it to say TG for a reason? :)
The Mini is a RHD model, very cool, very original and not often seen here in the States. Even though I poke fun at it, I have respect...
What's also striking is the size of the wheels, my Mustang has 18 inch wheels, which isn't huge by today's standards anyway...

What does this have to do with Top Gear?

Thread moved.
 
Two distinct definitions of cool.
 
Red Mustang Convertible is the ultimate girls car. It just needs to be a base model V6 with an automatic. Cool Mini though. There is a kid around here, must go to Notre Dame or something. He has a Left-hand Drive old style mini, and I always see it packed with four people being driven like like they just robbed a bank.

I think you mean a Mazda Miata is the ultimate girls car.
 
tiny mini wheels FTW!

I think they're 9" or something.

It looked like "TD" backwards to me, then I was off wondering who on earth would make (and buy!) a diesel Mustang...
 
With gas prices going the way they are, maybe the next Mustang will be a diesel...

And yes, it does have some feminine lines, especially since I ordered it without the rear wing and such nonsense, but that V8 and those dual exhausts make up for it somewhat...
The best bit was the cost: $38k including all taxes and DMV fees for a fully optioned car... On the other hand, the Mini probably has more bang for the buck than any car, ever.
 
I doubt that would happen, unless GM is willing to sell their new Duramax to them.
