When David Brown went to a local charity car show he took along a car with a great pedigree.
The Ford Mustang and the latest model has that glorious style that pays homage to their first model that filled the dreams of so many people.
We had the throbbing 5 litre V8. Powerful engine with a great sound.
You can vary the dashboard display. Race mode aims for simplicity. Just a bar graph for the revs and big digital numbers for your speed and gear you are in from the 10-speed automatic.
The four-cylinder turbo is $50,000. The V8 GT is $62,300. To both add on road costs.
A great bang for your buck in looks and performance.
David’s boyhood passion for motor cars did not immediately lead to a professional role in the motor industry. A qualified Civil Engineer he specialised in traffic engineering and transport planning.
What followed were various positions including being seconded to a government think-tank for the planning of transport firstly in Sydney and then for the whole of NSW. After working with the NRMA and as a consultant he moved to being an independent writer and commentator on the broader areas of transport and the more specific areas of the cars we drive.
His half hour motoring program “Overdrive” has been described as an “informed, humorous and irreverent look at motoring and transport from Australia and overseas”. It is heard on 22 stations across Australia. He does weekly interviews with several ABC radio stations and is also heard on commercial radio in Sydney.
David has written for metropolitan and regional newspapers and has presented regular segments on metropolitan and regional television stations. David is also a contributor for AnyAuto
