parade – All about car

A gathering of more than 1,300 Ford Mustangs in Belgium, there to set a parade recordFord A record-breaking 1,326 Ford Mustangs took part in the worlds largest parade of Pony cars September 7, but if that number isnt bewildering enough for you, theres a bit of a huh? Wow! in the where it was set Belgium!Ford itself helped coordinate the parade with the cars no more than 20 metres apart at its Lommel Proving Ground in Belgium.As you might expect with so many Stangs, every generation of the model was well-represented, and likely every year.Why Belgium? European sales of the American icon are on the rise, and Belgium in particular is the cars biggest market there.The prior record just broken wasnt set in the U.S. either, oddly enough; it was a 960-car Mustang parade pulled off in Toluca, Mexico also with Fords assistance in December

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May takes part in the 121st annual Victoria Day Parade in Victoria, B.C., on Monday, May 20, 2019.Chad Hipolito / Canadian Press Gearheads like us can rhyme off the OG Dodge Viper RT/10’s stats with alarming ease: 8.0-litre V10 engine making 400 horsepower; rear-wheel drive; and it’ll only get double-digit-MPG fuel economy on a good day. It’s that latter spec that makes it a surprising choice as the Victoria Day parade ride for Green Party leader Elizabeth May. According to news sources in the area, May jumped aboard a 1994 Viper to participate in the Island Farms Victoria Day parade. The move drew some swift criticism for the leader of a political party founded on its commitment to the environment, and whose platform calls for Canadians to trade their internal-combustion cars for EVs. The first-gen Viper is the opposite of an EV in every way, shape and form. It was a rainy ride for sure, and not a Green vehicle. Local #yyj volunteer Pat Peron owns this 1994 Viper. I rode where parade organizers asked me to. 🙂 https://t.co/W9B0O5T15T Elizabeth May (@ElizabethMay) May 21, 2019 In response to a citizen’s tweet poking at the gaffe, May explained the decision to ride in the bright red Viper was made by “parade organizers.” While a short ride in a Viper isn’t the end of the world – and while we personally dig the car very much – a better choice could have been made to improve the optics of the situation. It calls to mind the numerous vehicular blunders to have befallen Canadian politicians over the years, like when Stockwell Day showed up to a press conference on a WaveRunner. He could have at least used a Canadian Sea-Doo. It appears this isn’t the first time Ms. May has selected that same Viper, owned by a party volunteer, as her whip of choice for parade duty. The issue was called out by some media last year, who also posted photos of the leader in the red sports car. Check out video above from this year’s parade. The Viper, and Ms. May, show up at about the eight-and-a-half minute
