Just picking up on the dashcam thread, this is probably a stupid question, but if you can power a 12v radar detector from the rear view mirror, can you power a dashcam?
I'm guessing the amps will be the issue, but thought I would ask the question to see if anyone had tried it.
When I say I have a VIN, I should have said the dealer has it and I'm trying to get it from them.
I'm going by the dealership either tomorrow or Sunday so I can get the VIN and put it into etis to see what it says.
It's really just an excuse to go and see if I can get another test drive as I'm...
I have a VIN!!
... and an estimated build date of 19/06/2017. According to the dealership I should be looking at a late Sept' delivery.
Thanks again to Manders for putting together the guide, and everyone's advice to date!
I am looking forward to turning up to a meet with more than...
@Kristian87 - Quick question on this. How long after ordering did it take you to receive your VIN?
Just want to know if I should be pestering the dealer as yet. :D
Thanks for all the advice. You have confirmed my suspicions.
I will have a word with the guys at GT101 when I'm over there on Monday for the open day. :)
I'm going to risk a potential barrage of 'Really, what are you thinking?' type comments, but did anyone go for the Supagard protection that they try and sell you with the car?
It feels a lot like buying a pair of shoes and "oh, by the way Sir, would you be interested in the shoe cleaner that...
I know how you feel about this. On the one hand nothing would give me greater pleasure than to pick the car up tomorrow.
On the other hand I'm not quite ready to hand over £40k... but the worst part is I told the boss "Don't worry love, it's not coming for 12 months. There will be plenty...
Black S550 Convertible southbound on the A12 at Chelmsford around 17:45 today.
It was the highlight of my journey home as it's the first one I have seen since placing my order.
I was quoted 12 months at least for my order, but it looks like you will have yours a lot earlier than that.
Enjoy! Can't wait until I'm posting something similar.
Thanks for the reply, but is this definitely the case? The DVLA website suggests it's based on the dealers list price which would not have the £2,000 first year road fund licence on it.

Either way...
Unfortunately it's not the 2018 model, although I did enquire at several dealers to see if I could get one. I did read somewhere that the order book opens in Sept '17 for 2018, and on a 12 month waiting list that was too late for me as I need something by May as my current lease expires.
So...
Cheers, Jimboy.
I'm in Ipswich, Suffolk, and have ordered the car from John Grose.
I occasionally work down in Surrey also, so I will try and pop along to one of the Tuesday night meets next month. Hoping there may be a TY there.
It's great to read about people getting their cars. Unfortunately I still have quite a wait having only ordered it on 6th May.
I've taken a leap of faith and gone for the Triple Yellow, having not seen one in the flesh.
I am told by the dealership that there is one coming in around July...
Hi All - My name is Gareth and have been a Mustang fan for a long time, and I'm pleased to say that in 24 hours time I will get behind the wheel of one for the first time.
Unfortunately it's only a test drive at this stage as there is a 9-12 month waiting list over here in the UK (not sure...
