That was sitting stationary in traffic...

I was trying to figure out why that's the case; there's some reactionary stuff out there about it being "illegal" but I think that's not quite right. Had a read of the MOT Testing Manual, or at least a copy on-line, and didn't see anything about failing about having a V-rated tyre on a car with...

Yeah, may well touch the limiter but I'm too tight to cruise at big speeds in terms of fuel economy. :) And from what I understand of German Autobahns, the opportunities for big numbers are limited these days.

SWMBO noticed that one of the heating elements in the passenger seat has stopped working, and this morning in the darkness I noticed the N/S headlight was flickering. Guess those will be two things for the guys to look at when the car is in for it's first service in early December.

Lol, I'm taking my GT to Germany next Easter. Might nudge those sort of speeds on the winters - heading on to Austria for a spot of skiing so will probably leave them on the car.

Last winter in my Mustang on Nokian tyres I had no dramas on single track snowy hill roads. Only issue with the Mustang is ground clearance in deep snow. I don't understand this British thinking that 4WD/AWD without winter tyres is fine. Sure for getting going it's okish, but stopping is a...

Is that Peoples's in Auld Reekie? Going to ask them for a cost to change next month when in for a service, but seeing as I've no idea what colour I want, probably farting in the wind as I'm still loving my motor.

Likewise, I'd been a serial renter over 10 years of V6 Mustangs (with the occasional V8) in North America before I bought my own car. Had a couple of convertibles along the way, a S197 and then a S550 - although took a buddy's S197 Shelby soft top for a burn once in 2007! The S550 with in...

Certainly my experience of living in Canada shows that winters are simply brilliant in cold and snowy conditions. Difference is night and day. As I don't want to drive anything else (ie I'm not buying a shit heap for winter), got myself another set of the standard nickel 19" wheels, then...

Think I will get a cost to change, but the lack of Grabber Blue goes a long way to killing off any want for the MY18 car.

Another UK owner here, my wife won't accept anything but super toasty heated seats. Seems to be happy with the toastyness of the Mustang :)

I'd wondered how easy it was to remove the whole indicator unit, but decided that was for future me to worry about.

With the onset of winter decided it was time to change to the winter wheels; further confirmed by doing an impromptu burn out trying to get onto a roundabout when heading out to a nearby park for a run first thing this morning. As everyone knows, Pzero tyres + 5C + Wet = not going anywhere...

Microwave ovens are Faraday cages, but only for the frequency of microwaves themselves. Pretty sure our cars keyfobs don't work at microwave frequencies :)

Secondhand tyres? No thanks... Especially on something like a Mustang. Maybe acceptable with a shoestring budget on a £500 Fiesta...

Snap! My other set of wheels are fitted with those self same Nokians, and they are grippy as feck. Night and day. Was only saying to the wife last night I'm contemplating fitting my winter wheels in the next few weeks. I paid £600 for mine and I went for a square setup of 255/40 on the...

More planning than actually done, but 'er indoors and I are heading to the Alps Easter next year for a spot of skiing. She suggested taking the car down through Germany. Game on! Then I remembered it'll need it's Nokian Winters fitted for this. Vmax rating. Erk. Anyway, checked now, those...

Saw it a couple of weeks ago. Loved the scene where Daniel Craig got changed in the back. Err, no he didn't. It's not an '18. Plus, you can see the mirrors changing colours between the interior and exterior shots.

Aye, yer still doun as Aberdeen. Far hav ye moved tae?

Nice! I do like a Competition Orange!
