Ford Mustang: Iconic muscle car is a strong contender

THERE is an emotional attachment between people and their cars, writes Declan Colley

It matters not whether you are Pat the Postman or Billy the Butcher, your van is as important to you as is Eithne the engineer’s executive saloon to her or Max the stay-at-home dad’s MPV to him.

But the passion engendered by certain cars transcends the relationship people have with their day-to-day transport. And this passion crosses all normal boundaries defined by gender, ethnicity, religion, or any other social or cultural paradigm.
