Not sure what all the fuss is about ref Mach 1. A few nice pieces but it’s a long way down the food chain from a GT500, but then again it is on this side of the pond... In my understanding it replaced the Bullitt as the ‘premium’ model variant, so it should be here for at least 1 year, more if...

Taxing kids instead of incentivising breeding like rabbits... If it didn’t work just increase the dose. More tax, less benefits... a bit harder to do this in a democracy...

My beef with this is that govt policy doesn’t necessarily follow natural or market led product ’evolution’. Policy is made by govt listening to so called ‘experts’ - who have different opinions - and dare I say influenced by bungs (or let’s politely say those who donate to the party). back in...

in the UK we are paying 58p/litre fuel duty plus 21p VAT on top of that so we arent that far behind France. It’s tax on tax.... but that duty will disappear when we are forced into EVs, so I imagine some electricity super tax will be devised. That will hammer the carless PlayStation generation too

Govt involvement is the kiss of death.... We have had mass market pure EVs since Nissan Leaf launched in 2010 and those muppets in the EU and our MEPs still havent agreed an industry standard on the charging lead connector... there’s still no realistic charging infrastructure roll out plan or...

notes on spoiler from Ford design courtesy Mr Steve Saxty sometimes less is more unless of course you’re going for a full on GT500 vicious look...

I’ve had mine for 3 years. Time flies when you’re having fun! Still love it. But I’m getting itchy feet... The problem is where do you go after a Stang? I cant abide the German prestige stuff. Competent but desperately dull, plus all the elitism that goes with those big brands. Nor am I keen on...

Here’s to the next 5 years! Is she is a keeper?

ha ha, yup :) Or get polishing as we’re not travelling anywhere... Or get back to the thread and get reading/watching etc

Here we go again.... if you sold the car and that made you soooo happy, what on earth are you doing wasting your life moaning about it on a forum full of people who are passionate about Stangs and are living their dream. Sure it’s not everyone’s dream, but if it ain’t for you, move on!

Another ’what not to to your Stang today’ pic

A lot of companies offer a virtual try out https://www.tsw.com/alloy-wheels-configurator/#/year=2016&make=Ford&model=Mustang%20GT%20(Performance%20Package)&size=19%20Inch%20Wheels&wheel=Bathurst%20Gloss%20Gunmetal%20 im sure someone can chime in with a site that covers most aftermarket...

Back to boredom, the documentary/film ‘a faster horse’ covers S550 development and is well worth a watch. If you ever wondered how a new car is developed, this shows you the process, but on your favourite ride. Working in that sector, I can assure you it’s pretty generic process and so it’s...

In readiness for the dark nights drawing and lockdown 2.0, I bought a ‘coffee table’ book which I’m loving and I’d like to recommend to you - see pics.. It’s kinda like a history of the development of sporting Fords written by a guy who was part of that team there is a little S550 content...

Thats the only way to see if the glove fits... These cars provoke interest from people with very different expectations. if you’re just after a cruiser with no intention of going drag racing or using it for track days, I honestly think you will be happy with an older car in factory spec...

Good God no! Personally I think a continental kit looks dubious on 50s T bird, but on an S550??? Still someone has tooled up to make it and someone has bought it, fitted it and painted it. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. fYI I stumbled across it in this article on automotive...

Fitted this... There’s no accounting for taste

Ah ok, fair play. Glad to hear it was sorted for you. I tend to avoid additional warranties as often there’s so many things excluded, especially consequential damage. I wouldn’t say these cars are weak but at 4 years old, like any other car, they start to need regular maintenance parts like...

can I ask how on earth you got Ford to A) admit there was a problem B) cover it under warranty on a 2016 car This was one of the biggest deal breakers I had with my ford dealer. Coolant is not covered under warranty and they were too incompetent to put tracer dye in the system even when I...
