Well, the inevitable has happened. I had a low speed impact with a small kangaroo this morning - no visible damage (phew!) but the hood deployed. I'm thinking of replacing the hinges with US spec hinges given that the active hood is a European requirement, not Australian. Anyone see any...

Hi Y'all Although I've only had Ginger for a few weeks, from what I'm hearing about the longevity of the P Zeros I should start planning for her next set of tyres now. Whilst doing my research I came across comments like "not intended to be driven in near-freezing conditions, through snow or...

Legalities aside, just wondering if anyone here has applied a smoked tint to clear tail lights. If so, please indicate the tint percentage or the product you bought, and post pics. Cheers.

Well, it's been a busy couple of days. The adventure started on Monday afternoon when I took the train up to Sydney, staying the night at my folks place, and the next morning Dad and I went down to the dealer - Brad Garlick in Ryde. Can I just say at this point that the dealer has been...

Congrats to Bobsp12 on becoming our new moderator! :clap2: :cheers: :thumbsup: :headbang: :ford: :shrug: :first: :crazy: :amen: :doh:

This issue has been concerning me for some time and with my car due to arrive in less than two months it's time to look at it again. I do a lot of night driving on country roads and really need to enhance the light output significantly to keep the giant jumping rats from trying to use my hood...

If you're looking for something different to replace the faux gas cap, how about one of these? Inspired by the Shelby cobra badges, they are the same size and shape as the aforementioned cobra badge, and by the looks of it can be colour matched to your vehicle. Basic colours anyway, not sure...

I think I was reading in the manual that if you are on level ground (or downslope presumably) it's recommended to take off in second gear. I've never driven a six speed car before, but I do drive a six speed fire truck and we do take off in second in that, unless on an upslope, in rough terrain...

Whilst our brothers and sisters in the big cities are guiding their ponies through dense city traffic, stopping every three blocks for a drink, our Mustangs will be running free with the wild bush brumbies - across the tablelands and over the mountains. When we do venture into the Bush Capital...

Apologies for my lack of engagement in the last few months. Went to the US in Oct/Nov and drive 3000 miles in four Mustangs (1 EB and 3 V6) and a Camaro and have been pretty busy since I got back, so haven't spent much time here. But now that the lucky few are starting to receive their ponies...

Well, I didn't want to believe it but I now have confirmation through a reliable source that the stripes do in fact fade out at each end of the car. I know some of you said that your dealers had confirmed it but I couldn't be sure that they had actually checked properly. So I asked on the...

Is anyone considering installing additional lighting? I work shift and commute 80km each way through the bush so every return trip has at least one direction in the dark. Wildlife is a constant hazard including roos, wombats, pigs and deer. The other day I locked up my little 2wd Hilux...

Folks, I'd like to bring together the order dates and rankings that are floating around the forum and start comparing them by dealer. I've set up another little survey to capture the data but will be transposing the data to Excel to make it easier to keep updated. A link to the excel file...

The recent discussion on the demographics of buyers has me intrigued as to how the members of this forum stack up compared to the unquestioned wisdom of internet article commenters, not just in terms of being buyers but also the options you have ordered. I'd be obliged if you'd have a go at my...

If you're like me, one thing you've been doing to while away the months is looking for images that match the colour and configuration that you are dreaming of or have on order, and then plastering them as wallpaper on every device you have access to (maybe the walls too!). This is the best...

Has anyone here tried fitting driving lights yet? I live in a rural area and do a lot of night driving so extra lighting is essential if I don't want a kangaroo shaped dent in the hood. Please post pics.

Hello all. My first post on this forum - been lurking for a good year but. :) It looks like Ford Australia is not going to offer the option of a manual transmission in the convertible, regardless of the engine chosen. This is a real disappointment to me as I was planning to order a...
