Mustangs are wild, powerful, and free-roaming creatures.  Whether grazing in a wide open pasture or galloping along a never ending mountain side, the wild pony will always be respected and admired for its spirit and sense of adventure. 

Much like the wild pony, the Ford Mustang is equally wild, powerful, free-roaming, and adventurous.  To own a Mustang is an honor, to tame a Mustang is a skill, and to adventure with your Mustang is unforgettable.  Joris Van Kerkhove of Moorsel, Belgium is one man that has adventured to where many of us will never go or even be able to see in our lifetime.  Owner of a 2008 California Special, dazzled in sweet Candy Apple Red, Van Kerkhove has galloped with his Mustang to various countries in Europe including Belgium, France, Germany, England, and the Netherlands.

With pictures of his Mustang in front of famous landmarks across Europe, Van Kerkhove has been able to capture American beauty combined with European culture.  His images are breath-taking, stunning, and downright wild.  To see American muscle in front of these juggernaut European landmarks is quite remarkable.  “At the moment, Mustangs are very rare in Europe, especially California Specials.  It is a highly exclusive car and a head turner.  Most people give a thumbs up when you drive by and many take pictures.  Whereas, nobody notices a Porsche that is three times the purchase value”, says Van Kerkhove.

“The Mustang in Europe is a car with pedigree and to own one is a true honor.  I have done a lot of modifications so it makes it stand out even more.  The taxes are extreme, the fuel is three times as expensive as in the United States, and there are no Ford Mustang service or parts locations anywhere.  Everything about your Mustang has to be dedication if you want to drive it, modify it, repair it, or even travel with it”, continues Van Kerkhove.

Wild ponies in Europe and the owners who choose to adventure with them are rare.  To tame your stallion and roam the world requires spirit and dedication.  Van Kerkhove is a true adventurer and a true Mustang enthusiast.  Our hats are off to you and our blessings are with you on your next wild adventure.
