Mustang GT (TY, UCL 87, appeared on Top Gear)
Silverstone Mustang Performance Day - UCL Winner attended

Hi,

New to the forum having been avidly reading the posts for some time as I'm waiting for my UCL (#87) Ruby Red, GT (manual, ebony, with Custom Pack). I just put a post on PH about this event and then came on this forum to join when I saw the post.

Some of you will have probably already picked up from the Ford UK Twitter feed, that the media drove the Mustang at a Performance Day held at Silverstone on Thursday.

Thanks to Andy I was invited along, as we have been corresponding about the ongoing delays to my UCL GT. I still find it difficult to believe I am dealing with man at the top over this, which contrasts so markedly with the VW engine fiasco which my Wife's car is affected by. Andy now sets the benchmark for all car manufacturers in my opinion.

Everyone there made me feel incredibly welcome and were prepared to listen to me air my views, reflecting a lot of what everyone is posting. Hopefully you will all get a chance to speak to the team at future Mustang / Ford events, to hear how passionate they are about the car.

When I get a moment I will put together a diary of the day and my impressions. I did out of courtesy talk to Ford before posting. Warning though, don't expect a report of the quality of Gibbo's it will be very much how I enjoyed bonding with the car and how visceral (heart not intellect) the experience was.

The unexpected treat of some additional laps with their own 'Stig' Marino (from the new GT racing team) was really something; imagine Chris Harris video on crack! Really sorry I didn't manage to video it from the cockpit.

Hopefully there will be a steady flow of articles and videos from the Silverstone event.

In summary - It is a hell of a car, unlike anything else for the price, and the Ford team really do care what we, current and future owners, think.

:)

As it happens I've managed to blag a spot at the silverstone event for the Ecoboost (Fords media department have said early March but not fixed date yet)
