I wasn't that lucky.However I wanted to celebrate Mustang's birthday so my wife and I packed up the Mustang and went to the German celebration of the Mustangs.It was held on an old airfield just outside Koeln (Cologne) in Germany. On Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th of June they expected about 550 Mustangs... and rumour spread that Ford would bring a 2015 Mustang...We had an awesome weekend... There was a heat-wave in that part of Germany with temperatures of 90+ degrees F. In total more than 1000 (!!!) Mustangs have shown up on both days...It's impossible to show all photo's but I've taken the ones that impressed me most, and of the most interesting SN95's. Enjoy!Mustangs, Mustangs as far as the eye could see...<img src="https://scontent-a-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/t1.0-9/10351750_700501260015120_2156035221284650989_n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Impressive 03 Cobra:<img src="https://scontent-a-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/l/t1.0-9/10354681_700500943348485_5432460093024272653_n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Nice 96 GT:<img src="https://scontent-b-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t1.0-9/10383120_700500966681816_2540885074476800804_n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Just look at the engine of this Terminator...<img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/t1.0-9/10366201_700500950015151_8238186832345219091_n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Never seen this hood in real life in Europe...<img src="https://scontent-a-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t1.0-9/10359244_700500986681814_4298067684868371489_n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Yes, this is a real SALEEN COBRA...
