Nice one :like: I bet it's got better panel alignment :crackup:
That’s the thing about Lego. Unlike ford they use high quality plastics and the fit is superb. ;)

Just to cheer you up. Finance figures are now live on Fords site
I saw, and holy shit on a stick it is not cheap! I know there are a lot of improvements over the S550.1, but how they've went from £33,000 to £42,000 is beyond a joke. £44,340 for the one I'd want. Even with the maximum allowed deposit it's still £60-ish over what my old one cost per month.

Guess I better start trading bit-coin again!

Yeah, my equivalent spec has gone up £2k since I ordered in December, and the only difference is the rev-matching and improved stereo, which you won't notice with the engine running.

It's now incredibly difficult to justify. Since the C2C discount has been lowered to 3%, you don't really get much (relative) in the way of discount anymore. Priced a decent spec on C2C and it still came to £46,000 after discount. For that money I'd rather have a C43 AMG, a BMW M2 Competition or 4-pot Jaguar F-Type; all of them end up at around the same monthly payment as a Mustang due to their higher GMFV. Or i'd save £5000 and get a Stinger GTS, then spend £500 to tune the engine into a Sub 12s car.

We'll see what the future holds. I've shoved some bitcoin into my savings account, and I already have two clients with the side business I'm running with a mate, and we don't even have the website up and running yet! Haha! :)

Lets see how it goes. I do still love the Idea of a Mustang, and if I make bank on this business then I'll just buy whatever the hell I want in cash, but until then it's hard if not impossible to justify. My Optima touches 60mpg on a good day and costs just over £250 a month. Can't really argue with that for now.

carwow reckon they can put you in touch with a dealer who can offer you 5.7% off. Not the 8% you used to be able to get from C2C, but significantly better than the current 3%.

Probably old 17 stock at this rate, if I'm to be honest! There's a few left.

Even so, it's not for a while, I've just, in the last week, gotten a Mortgage. Can't be buying cars when I need a new cooker!

Few cheap Chinese mods again today. Carbon Fiber coin tray looks really good! I was surprised how scratched and scuffed the original rubber tray had become in only a few months of use. Hinge and latch covers fit perfectly.

Did the door covers fit easily? the hinge ones are fine - but the "catch" ones dont sit square - did you have to bash em to make em fit? ta Bob
