UK Mustang delivery

I just noticed another thing on my finance form. The car is listed as having 421PS, not 412. How strange...

What mileage did you put on it to get a GFV of £14.5k? That seems to have dropped since I was last looking at them if you left it on standard 12k per annum.

15,000

I only do about 9k per year but £336@15k miles is still less than what I'm paying for the Kia (£358.54).

You're not wrong there, if I sit off turbo the car just asks for a sip of fuel every now and then, on turbo and it drinks like a student in freshers week.
Last tank returned 26mpg and that's 100% town, home to graft and back crawling through the western bypass morning car park ( along with a couple of wot runs)

It'll be interesting to see a comparison between your car and mine, since both of us have to deal with A19 North Bound traffic every morning.

Quick Aside: Its why I'm glad the government is scrapping the old VED scheme based on CO2 emissions. Maybe then manufacturers will start reintroducing larger 4-cylinder NA engines (2.4L+ etc.) or even V6s. Turbo-chargers are great and all, but as the American EPA tests have shown, they don't exactly equal better fuel economy. Once the new NEDC tests come into play with far more realistic fuel economy ratings, maybe people will stop open mouth kissing diesel engines, too. Its like, great - you hover around 50mpg in your 130hp Diesel on the motorway, and so does a 1.6L NA 130HP Kia Cee'd with a Petrol engine. The only time I've genuinely seen a Diesel thrash a petrol in terms of fuel economy is when the power is down and the owner walks on broken glass.

Tarago has just docked in Zeebrugge. Do we have any way of tracking when the cars get loaded onto the next vessel for transportation to Southampton ? Or does that info come from Karen and Stacey ?

Once in Zeebrugge there is no more tracking, other than the original tracking record being updated with "delivered from Zeebrugge on 4/2/16. 14:25:00. Quantity 1. Etc

So once it says "delivered from" you know it's in Southampton

Then it's just a case of harassing your dealer!

Hopefully its a quick turnaround. I'm not waiting another month for this car when I can practically smell the exhaust fumes from here!

Jimboy, don't even go there man, it's XX16 OSM fortunately, my actual initials are 'SNM' it's not good, parents didn't think it through at all :doh::lol::frusty:


OSM in internet speak can be 'AWESOME' which is a double meaning to the plate at least.
Also 'Oh shit moment' ;)
