Should be able to find one out the back at a Ford dealer, did not like the 18 front end in photos but in the flesh it just looks stunning :love:

The front end, the new dash and the new active exhaust are the three things that changed my mind on the 18, then the icing on the cake was being able to fit Recaros and adaptive suspension

You should see plenty. I certainly did in Orlando last week. All the rentals are 18s now. I really don’t think the change is as drastic as photos make it look. I really like it after seeing them in the flesh. Picture do not do it justice at all.

One more sleep and its pick up time :ford:

We're expecting a live stream of the event with running commentary ;)

Bad timing I guess with the weather, hope that doesn't mess with your pick up. And for God's sake - drive carefully!

Its been quite bad in kent,but we are not due any more until friday.I just want to get home ok and hang on until the weather breaks.Its been at the dealers for a while so it will be our first visit.Hopefully there will be no issues,particularly looking at panel gaps and the bonnet front pinch which they seem to still let go at the factory.

I think the 18 has a more aggressive look than the 17, if you look at them head on

I imagine Ford may stay in business long enough to resolve anything catastrophic however

Company was dissolved, just like the guy's previous two companies. If anything was sold - equipment, order book, etc - there's no requirement for whoever bought it to concern themselves with someone else's f*ck-ups.

Technicalities, it was struck off CH register by the looks of it as it failed to send through statements, therefore they (CH) sent through a notice to strike off, then dissolved it via strike off. Totally different to actually disolving a company. That said, the new guy is shady as fuck from what i'm seeing he's just ignoring people, the phone lines and shit still work, but it's beyond a joke getting a hold of the new person. Legally speaking if a business is sold, the new owner takes over any outstanding responsibilities etc. However in this case, he seems to be ignoring it.

yada yada, flogging a dead horse here for the sake of technicalities and accurate information. :lol:

Looks like the company was formed late 2015, filed no accounts and was dormant by mid 2017. The one and only director filed for dissolution on the 11/10/17 and terminated himself two days later
Anyway, I know nothing about company law and this isn't the place for it so will stop typing. I wouldn't be holding my breath on any support from the new guy however, should he exist in that capacity, cos the whole process appears to be a legal exercise in responsibility-shirking.
