I really don’t like the UK rear emblems, that looks ace :thumbsup:

Is there a change log for v3.4? I’ve upgraded mine in the past but it was a fair bit of faffing about and if there’s no material benefit I may pass....

Yep, my Oct ‘16 build had this. Apparently contamination when the bonnets were going through the rollers in the factory. I got a new bonnet badly painted under warranty; after some polite discussions with the dealer (not a FordStore) it was repainted to my satisfaction. My car had one side...

I ordered a battery off Amazon, fulfilled by Tanya Batteries, it was a Bosch S4 Battery Type 075 and set me back £81 delivered. Didn’t think that was bad at all. I was careful to measure as the Halfords site was a bit vague.

Good luck selling the car Ian. Not a great time with everything going on.

Best I’ve had out of my GT is 40mpg over three bars, so 18 minutes, on the trip computer. Following a bus up the A9 in between Perth and Newtonmore on cruise at 56mph. Average speed cameras on that bit in no-fun-Scotland. My old man has struggled to get over 45mpg in his diesel Hyundai (yawn). I...

And we've done the reverse, took our Scottish registered Mustang to Germany a couple of years back. Nice to stretch the car's legs on your generous Autobahns! We took the overnight ferry from Newcastle (well North Shields) to Amsterdam (Ijmuiden), hacked through the Netherlands before entering...

Either a 4-door M3, more subtle, or most probably a 911.

Here's a couple of my UK GT around Scotland - the loch is Loch Awe over on the west and the other image is on a cold morning near Braemar. Not much of the car, but I filmed a hyperlapse drive from Aberdeen to Boat of Garten a couple of years back, - it's a little dizzy at times, a...

I admire your preservation and strong mindness. My car arrived at the dealer on the 22nd December 2016 and was ready by Christmas Eve. Appreciate it would save me £400 per year in VED, but fuck it, I couldn't wait!

Love it, keep us updated!

Here's a few of my Grabber GT with grandpa. With a gratuitous shot of the '66 as the kicker.

Lol, my car is a bit newer than yours and I'm up at 26K on the clock. Only 6K on yours, blimey! Missed out on a lot of V8 aural goodness! FWIW, whilst having a servicing plan from the supplying dealer, when the oil life prompt appears, a local independent is happy to change the oil/filter...

I did ~1200 miles last weekend driving to Somerset and back to Aberdeen, biggest pain are the flies at the top of the windscreen...

The waiting lists aren't what they once were, I get that, but after three months I changed my mind on the colour and my dealer accepted the change. Even though the invoice would be £700 less. At that time (mid 2016) they said as long as it's not be lodged on the factory "computer" spec...
