How many "sales", which I assume are actually orders, turn into a cheque? 85-90%? In any case, are all the figures for all cars orders or actual deliveries? Or is it apples and oranges? I would not say that Ford has sold me a Mustang yet. I will only be sold one once the thing passes...

If you are replacing an old Mazda 323 with this, you get second prize for biggest upgrade award. I'm still winning as the GT is meant to replace a somewhat mechanically wonky '91 Celica :). Can anyone beat me?

I've seen a couple of older women driving S550s now. One a Race Red and one an Ingot Silver.

Probably a lot. That's why they do all this 'unveiling' crap these days at dealerships. Classic misdirection. When did they start doing this by the way? Certainly didn't do it about 10 years ago at Ford dealerships (was there when my did picked up a BA ute).

Geez, I hope you never want to ask any of our American friends for advice on US threads ... I for one welcome anybody from anywhere with an interest in S550s.

I hope to see those stickers all over the back of your car :). I know how much you love stickers!

Can't wait to see Lightning Blue. I think I like it more than the Deep Impact.

What a dickhead. I'm sure his penis increased from 2 to 3 inches after that display. Think I would have been inclined to give him a finger other than my thumb. Hope you get better soon! By the way, please don't tell me you drive a Mustang to university. Let me just say, there are many...

Demand a (Paddle) Commander. The name reminds me of this really annoying ad that once ruined my Ashes watching experience: [ame] I feel there might be consequences if you don't do what she asks. Scares me. Back to the topic, how can Paddlemax reduce turbo lag? That doesn't make sense to me...

It's Deysha. Deysha and her colleague Mariel are quite responsive (given that they are presumably dealing with so ma ny Ford service enquiries) and are a credit to Ford.

Not bad for a Queenslander to spot that ;). Lovely part of Australia. We had to stop on that road to let an echidna cross. We actually stopped and made sure it got off the road before anyone else drove by. I've never seen an echidna in the wild. We really enjoyed about three days around there...

Here is evidence of the existence of drop bears: [ame]

Where was that bottom photo taken Davo? Looks familiar. Reminds of a place east of Kyneton, on the way to a winery called Cobaw Ridge (I do quite a bit of wine-related tourism). Lots of round granite boulders sticking out of the ground. Anywhere close?

I guess it depends on the backlog at the port. I am hoping it doesn't spend too much time sitting about. I should check with Deysha.

We will probably be able to stick our fingers in the panel gaps of our cars, or our whole fists :doh:. Or perhaps they only built a few cars that day and more attention was paid to them. Part of me knows I am lying to myself ... but where there's hope ... again, we can't control any of this...

I'd say far too much to hope :(. I'm just happy for it to get out of the USA before any snowstorms :). Is a bit of a worry thinking about how long it's going to be outside, but not much we can do. Just be patient I guess.

It's like having a child (that happened about 3 months ago, well, to my wife anyway). You don't really know how you're supposed to feel initially (although this is proving to be much more drawn out than any childbirth). I will need some time to process all of this. I have been showing my window...

Thanks. This is becoming scarily real now. And it was a Friday :doh:. Oh well ... I suppose that's just a cliché now if there are several shifts, etc.

I think this has been dealt with before, but I now have a window sticker and it has 120160812. Does this mean my car is being built today? (or tonight?)

I always worry if an insurer might ping you. I've never had to claim on insurance so not sure how deeply they go into looking for ways to void the agreement.
