Good afternoon out, nice to meet a few people and thanks to the Ford team for organising! RS200s make any event worthwhile :love: Had a sit in one, plus a few others from my childhood - excellent! IMG_20161001_131955 by david, on Flickr IMG_20161001_132405 by david, on Flickr...

Not posted for a while, but if anyone went to the GRRC open day at Goodwood House yesterday they may have seen this :)

Same here - I emailed yesterday just to check my order from back when they were out of stock was OK (I had a paypal receipt but nothing else), and Ronny got straight back saying they're being sent today :thumbsup:

Black - not a fan of the silver version at all I'm afraid! To help you decide, this is mine :) Mustang S550 front 3/4 by david, on Flickr Mustang S550 rear 3/4 by david, on Flickr

That's probably true, it certainly looks great in "golden hour" conditions, with warm light on it, but then pretty much any colour does! It definitely doesn't need a sunny day to look good though - my pictures were taken in pretty overcast conditions, in fact it started raining towards the end...

Thanks for the reminder ;)

Thanks - sounds like Ruby is a natural choice! I wouldn't read so much into the quality issues - none of the "common" faults are present on mine, and I suspect that's true for a lot of people, it's just you hear more from those with problems (which is understandable). Thanks - could do with a...

Fuel is never going to be cheaper... We won't do many miles... A turbo-4 isn't really going to be any more economical... It sounds nice... Actually, that may have just been the justification to myself come to think of it ;)

Snap! I just justified the engine choice ;)

Cheers, it's a really great colour up close, sure you'll love it! Thanks! Yours is getting close, exciting times :D We'll have to do a Ruby-only meet at some point ;) It was a slightly tricky decision as the original brochures didn't really help a lot... Really pleased with the result though!

After ordering in Jan 15 our car finally arrived at the end of March. It was picked up in the rain, and with it either being grubby or wet for the past few weeks, I finally managed to get a few decent snaps of it yesterday... It's a V8 manual fastback in ruby red, with all three options added -...

Yes, seem to be present on all this year's builds, they're visible in my current avatar picture. Good looking race red btw :thumbsup:

Guilty as charged I suspect, was out and about a few times yesterday! Will have to look out for the black one, haven't seen him yet. Bumper is going to be staying attached for a while I think ;) Where's that under-the-thumb smiley...

Centurion07 at the Oakridge roundabout tonight :thumbsup:

To answer this bit - yes, got ours from there and we were given a reasonably long list to choose from when we popped in to sort out all the paperwork about a week before collecting the car. Obviously all Reading-based options - number plates aren't really my thing, but the other half picked...
