May 22, 2001 - May 22, 2011 Anniversary!!

Hi Guys,

As of today (Sunday, May 22nd) I´ve had my 72 convertible for 10 years exactly. Over that period, I´ve put 103 000 km on it, driven it on an almost daily basis during summer, took it to Hamburg, Austria, and twice to Italy.

It served as a wedding car for my wife and me and for many others.

Here´s to the next 10 years.

Cheers!

CONGRADULATIONS - WELL DONE!!!

Congrats! Sounds like you have got a lot of use out of it. Quite a few KM's for a vintage car!

::goodjob::

Well done Mike ....Cheers!

Congrats! That is a great milestone!

May you have it another 50 years my friend!

Nice, I hope you have many more kilometers and anniversaries.

Congrats on ten years

Congrats on that there!!... Not so often a guy can tell the others he drove his dream car for more than a decade! cheers to that too y friend!

Congratulations Mike! Here's to the next 10 years! What is the car's production date? Should have its 40th coming up soon as the next milestone. As I recall you are around 40...if I remember correctly from the faces thread (I think).

My '71 turned 40 in March. I turned 40 earlier this month. My '72 turns 40 in Jan & the '73 will hit 40 in May 2013. Kinda cool to think about.

Thanx guys for the kind words! Yesterday the car passed the inspection for the renewal of the registration without objection, so we're fit for the next two years!

Well I turned 40 earlier this year, my wife will in a few weeks and the Mustang will turn 40 on December 7th.

We're all getting old, I guess......

Great news you car passed inspection. Here in Virginia we have to do an annual inspection unless you get Antique License Plates, then no inspection is required. The catch though is that with Antique Plates driving the car is restricted.

A belated congratulations to you, Mike! Here's to another 40 years for you, your wife, and your 'stang!

No, longest time I ever had a car was a first generation Toyota MR2 that I had for about 6 years.(Wish I still had it though!)

Those 1/4 of the car's life have been the best years it's seen, as the other 3/4 it has been neglected and abused and not well cared for.

Ok, it still gets abused now and then, but that's different.

6.6.6 is easy to remember. Is that why its appearance is so dark and somber?
