Figured it would be one of you! The cars look great and i'm jealous of everything including the weather :thumbsup:
I was going to explain how cold it is....then I noticed your location!!
Hope to get up your way in the spring to do the NC500

Yeh, seeing them parked together away from a dealership was special. And driving a coupe and seeing another Stang in the rear view is pretty cool.

I will let Holf answer that one. I really didn't listen and its was literally Holfs first drive from the dealer so he wasn't booting it quite like I was mine.

What I can say is it looks stunning in the flesh with the roof down!!
Alright, will do, i've driven a 2.3 in the states, however not next to a 5L and it was only a test drive!

Pictures do not do the car justice, unless you've got a camera with really good depth, the lines are incredible, and 'Dat a$$' :eyebulge:

Thanks guys! I'm loving the sound of the ecoboost - sure, you definitely hear the difference from the V8 but I'm more than happy [emoji2]

Great to see you out there Stevec, really appreciate you making the drive off the forecourt extra special - in convoy with a CO V8 - what could be better? The people of Hastings won't know what hit them.

Really great to finally drive one of these, loved the drive back to Oxfordshire & looking forward to heading out again shortly [emoji2][emoji106]

Manners Mustang - seeing that ass in the rear view mirrors is something else - it looks huge!

Car is a dream to drive though, really enjoyed it - only problem is I think I'm going to be putting a lot of unnecessary miles on this thing, just because it's such a nice car to be out there driving in!

All those who are still waiting, I know how painful it is, but it really is worth it - hang on in there, as others have already said, you soon forget all about the. months of waiting and are just going around with a huge smile on your face.

Had a great afternoon cruising with Holf after he picked up his Stang today. It was so good driving along with another Mustang, First UK meet perhaps?? Pics not great quality, it was getting a bit dark for my phone.

Was good to meet up.

Guys, do any of your GT's come with a Tower Strut Brace fitted?
No. However we do still get a K-Brace.

We get different suspension. So there is a very slight lift.

Thx Ben, what Strut Bracing are you going for?
Was looking at the Ford Racing, although I would like a custom paint job to tie in with Race Red. Any ideas:shrug:

Not going with any strut brace. The K-Brace does a fine job on its own IMO. My money is going toward a GT350 steering wheel and Roush Axle Backs.

lol, I dont mind. I always think of threads as a conversation and conversations tend to go on a tangent sometimes.

But the thread is about MY CAR so I thought I would act like a moderator and get it back on track. Annoyingly I have now aloud it to go off subject while we talk about going off subject!!

Now lets talk about my beautiful car!

Taking it to Piston Heads event at Goodwood on Saturday, I will take pics

Its not a track thing unfortunately, just a park up and admire each others cars. Saying that, there is going to be around 700 cars there with Nobles, Aston's and all sorts. And of course the main highlight will be a 2015 Comp Orange Mustang GT.
