My 50 year pressie to myself was gonna be a 3 week trip to the states. Memphis first and then a drive from Colorado to Las Vegas.
Then the Mustang cam and I decided I need a garage. So the USA money got blown on a deposit for a new home.
Gutted about the States trip but we are gonna do it in a year or so. NC500 trip will partly make up for it.

Well thanks to Centurion and his lovely white GT I have now ordered
Roush Axle Backs and Eibach Pro-kit springs to be supplied and fitted by GT101. He is doing some other stuff bushes and bolts and things. I kind of didnt quite understand but seemed like the right thing to do and confident they know what they are doing.

Oh yeh. a couple of people at the weekend used the word 'subtle' when discussing my spoilers. I am hoping the front splitter I have ordered will keep with the theme!

Of course pics and video will be posted

Hey,
Decided to put this on line the other day. Its the 'moment' I had when I was learning to drive this car and a warning to those just getting them to treat with respect.

Its not very clear at all but if you concentrate on looking along the passenger side bonnet crease you can see how it goes from pointing in the right direction to the other side of the road in an instance. Its at about 28 seconds in.

You can then see the guy who was behind me overtake as I am catching my breath.

Ease into the throttle man, you just stomped it. :p

Judging by how quick the TC cut power assuming car was in wet mode?

This is the reason why I want to get skid pad training.:eyebulge:
Be smooth with throttle application and build speed and any power oversteer will be progressive.

Stomping the throttle like that in the wet on not so great tyres is asking for a moment. :D

I was in normal, it was me that cut the throttle.
Lessons have been learnt and I know how to drive it now. This was from when I first had it

If you live in the countryside HB assist is carp takes ages to put light back up when a car has passed C63 had this never used it after 1st time. Too scarey.

Mondeo version with LED lights works really well; very quick to go back to full beam. Don't think we get on the Mustang though.
