On the day that America had a new, lets just say, more conservative President-Elect, we slipped in behind the wheel of one of the most iconic US cars ever built.
Not his Orange Highnesss most ardent fan and owner of the all-electric Tesla, but a good old fashioned naturally aspirated V8 Ford Mustang GT.
While Elon Musk and a number of other manufacturers continue to espouse the virtues of electric as the future, Ford, the Mustang Mach E notwithstanding, still thinks it good to cater to those of us that hanker for the sound of a good old fashioned muscle car.
I dont think its a stretch to say that the Mustang is the most famous of them all, having had a starring role in films, documentaries and pop culture.
And in its 60th anniversary, the best selling sports car globally for the last decade now in its seventh iteration looks set to continue that.
