That might be because you are running the US firmware instead of the EU version.

Oh no, I got that fixed - and now the nice Sync lady refuses to understand my bastardized American accent :ford:

Anyone got any clue at what events in Europe they'll be showing the new 2018 Mustang ?

I will start planning my trip now, thanks.

I went on a dyno today for the first time. It was a sad dyno / heartbreaker.

452bhp / 406 ftlb (550Nm)

Thats just a CAI + tune + catback.

With better fuel and colder day I reckon 460bhp would be possible.

Nice curve and a very safe tune, so im happy.

At the crank or at the wheels?

Crank. UK dynos always use crank.

Seen in Hanoi, Vietnam today.....

No, they don't care about TUV/MOT when it comes to the rear seq. lights!

I've been to Vietnam quite a few years ago
so I fixed your quote for you

Yes, its as crazy now as it was 21 yrs ago when I visited 'Nam the first time. The propaganda still works perfectly fine though.....especially here in Hanoi :lol:

I was told that every family has 2-3 scooters! :eyebulge:

That guy driving the Mustang must be loaded. I think the taxing on foreign cars in Vietnam is even more outragious than in NL.

No idea. But I am guessing non Asian cars costs more than your average Toyota.....the E400 I was driven in costs a lot in Germany!!

Driver did say "he must be rich" about the Mustang driver

Today my clutch failed.

On vacation with the car.

Ford Assistance took 5hrs to send help! Car is still abandoned and will be collected tomorrow and taken to a Ford dealer.

Supposed to be travelling back to mainland EU on Wednesday.... no idea whats going to happen.

Roadside diagnosis is either clutch arm or release bearing failure. A big repair whatever the case.

Lets see how complicated / expensive this is going to get.

Totally gutted :( Had huge plans with the car this week, now totally in ruins.
