  1. Got a proper fright today

    On a B-road of crests and dips, I suddenly found myself in a situation of driving too fast, too far outside my ability and with a previously unseen car coming the other way. I felt momentarily out of control and my car seemed to pitch and yaw, and I had a deep, primal sense that I was on the...
  2. Car Magazine letter

    My First World bleating made it into Car’s hallowed pages.
  3. Scottish Road Trip

    Hi folks Few pics from my blast along the A93/A939 Old Military Road across the Cairngorms this morning. Probably my favourite route in the UK. Cheers
  4. Do you drive in Track with the traction turned off?

    I’d be interested to know how many. How much more tail happy does the tail get? Cheers
  5. Not much cop in the snow...

    Trigger slid pitifully in the work car park in .5cm of freshly laid snow and came slowly to rest against a kerb. I’ve suffered genuine separation anxiety since then and the time I liberated him this morning. I’ve also suffered no end of mirth from colleagues too, but that’s fair play I reckon.
  6. Other drivers and Mustangs

    In the short time I’ve had the GT, I’ve observed three distinct classes of other drivers who pay it any attention. The vast majority are those who smile and give a thumbs-up. People seem to like Mustangs by default. Then there are children in small hatchbacks who metaphorically snap at my...
  7. Think I may need an H-Pipe

    Hi folks Forum is excruciatingly slow tonight and I’ve been unable to search. I saw an American video featuring an H Pipe fitted to an 18 GT and it sounded fantastic. Are these legal in the UK? Can you hear the difference from inside the car? Finally, if you have one fitted, what make is it...
  8. Finally run-in. Wow

    I celebrated reaching 1000 miles by taking the car up to Alston from the A69. I’m sure plenty of you know the road. Extending the engine - finally - is such a rush. The noise the car makes, the ridiculous speed, the whole feel of it. It’s a bit scary to a newbie like me; it demands a lot more...
  9. Track mode with traction control?

    Hi folks I’ve had a look around but can’t find the answer - can I have the car in track mode, but keep the traction control on? I’ve tried manually turning it on with the rocker switch, and it says it’s on, but the little sign stays illuminated, suggesting it’s still off. I just want the cool...
  10. I love the car

    My love for it is quite pitiful. Most bone question I keep getting asked: “is it economical”?
  11. Sequential indicators

    I was disappointed to see my new car doesn’t appear to do the cool sequential thing on the rear indicators. I found a couple of very lengthy threads but I’m at work and can’t go through them til later. What’s the short version please? Can it be easily modded without emptying my already barren...
  12. Misaligned horn cover

    Morning folks Spotted this on my new car - I think it’s just a misaligned horn cover. Has anyone else seen this please? Is it something I could easily remedy myself? Doesn’t feel like there’s anything wrong with the steering. Thanks
  13. Oh frabjous day

    I’ve just picked up my GT. I drove the 20 miles to work with the windows open and the exhaust set to bastard mode, laughing hysterically at how much I already love the car. Cayman Schmayman.
  14. Breaking in period?

    The salesman said I don’t need to run a new GT in, which slightly surprised me. I don’t disbelieve him, but I wondered what you say?
  15. Getting excited

    After numerous weeks of tedious and stress-inducing financial chicanery, it looks like I might actually be taking delivery of a GT in the near future. I’ve watched every YouTube video (including the foreign language ones), got excited, and then there have been times when I’ve doubted the final...
  16. What a difference an engine makes

    I bought my Porsche Cayman 8 months ago. It meant the world to me; I know the value of a pound (cue violins), and I honestly never thought that I’d be driving a brand new Porsche. I’m now in the process of trading it for a Mustang GT. There are lots of reasons why, but ultimately it comes down...
  17. Ford service plans worth it?

    Ford dealer offering service plan for new GT, around ÂŁ30pm. Anyone here signed up for something similar? Thanks
  18. Hello, 1st post and few Qs if you please?

    Hi folks I've just joined and would be very grateful for any thoughts. I have a Cayman, which I love, and am only 8 months into a 3-yr PCP. There's a modest amount of equity in the car, so I could easily get out if I chose to. The plan has always been (and still is) to keep it for term, and...
