DISCOVER AMERICA!
The much-modified Ford Mustang Mach 1 looks kind of out of place in the grounds of Clearwell Castle, Wales. The basic black bodywork has been psychedelicised so that brightly coloured streamers of paint now appear to chase each other across the car — which is clearly the property of a male, fairly young, and not exactly short of a quid or two.

The much-modified Ford Mustang Mach 1 looks kind of out of place in the grounds of Clearwell Castle, Wales. The basic black bodywork has been psychedelicised so that brightly coloured streamers of paint now appear to chase each other across the car — which is clearly the property of a male, fairly young, and not exactly short of a quid or two.
In fact, the Mustang belongs to the guitar player with Britain's Most Successful New Band In America — Mick Ralphs of Bad Company; and he likes living fast and doesn't stay at home unless he has to. Like, there was the time he arrived back from BC's vastly successful debut American tour — and just hours after landing at Heathrow was found buddying it up with his old colleague Ian Hunter at a reception for Jess Roden. "I couldn't sleep for two days. It takes time for you to come down after an American tour. I still haven't come down yet," says Ralphs, seated behind the car's steering wheel and heading towards the M4 and points east.
