Nice :thumbsup:

Thanks for the pic of the baby seat, getting a booster one for my granddaughter, she's 3 :cool: and she goes everywhere with grandpa, sadly not in my Nismo :(
Room in the back is good, the seats are big, just lacking in headroom, so perfect for the little people in our lives!

It looked like an Aston when it rolled around the corner of the dealership, very, very happy.
It does look a bit Astonish (see what I did there accidentally) especially from the rear 3/4 view! I really like the Guard and I think you should consider some silver OTT stripes because for me that would be awsome - awsomely Fordish :cool:

No TVR anymore, sold it to make space for the Stang. Being an ex TVR owner creates one of the very few downsides to this car - the sound. I fired it up and felt a little let down, it is an extremely civilised car in my view and really easy to drive, but the noise doesn't hit you until about 3k revs, so not much when running in... I also find myself feathering the throttle and hoping to hear some TVR pops and bangs...

Sticking with the TVR theme though, this car feels so much more modern, safer and easier to live with already. It read out a friggin' text message to me this evening, sometimes the TVR wouldn't even tell me what speed I was doing! Just may need to tweak the exhaust...
Plenty of after market cat-back and axle-back exhaust systems out there - see my thread on "Jury's first mods". the Borla S-Type definitely gives you back that engine note :D (also removes the silly restonator under the car and the feed tube from the engine bay into the cabin....)

Very tempting, I will try and make it to one of the meets so I can hear it. Does an exhaust switch impact warranty and MOT success?

Warranty - well the part is an official "Ford Racing" part (made by Borla) and I think we could argue on this with Ford UK.

MOT - there is no noise limit as such in the MOT (at least at the moment) and all the CATs are still in place, so emissions won't be compromised. Having had an after market unit on my Griff 500 (with only pre-CATs left) there was never a question on the noise / emissions during MOT - only the usual TVR gremlins.... that you will know so well ! :D
