Doesn't count as a spotted I know but just for info when I picked up my car yesterday there was one in Lightning Blue and it's an amazing colour, lighter than shown on the configurator and lighter than DIB but it suits the car so well. Definitely would have been my second choice.

Is that cheating? :D

Yes, I spotted the same 2 weeks ago. (Davenport is a bit of a trek, always seemed so far away after a long day themeparking)
Jarrett Ford in Davenport had a couple of GT350 in

We're on the interstate 4 side just a couple of junctions from World Drive but a bit further out than usual. There's a V6 parked across the street :)

Thanks for the heads up I'll work in a trip to Jarrett Ford :ford:

We were just off the US27 opposite Hampton Lakes. Vista Cay for us next year, little bit closer to the action.

Bought myself a few parts while over there and had them delivered to the villa, if you're after anything then make sure you choose 2 day guaranteed delivery and you'll probably have to phone up the likes of American muscle or CJ because billing/shipping address different, etc

Walmart carry stocks of oil filters for $3.47, I also picked up a K&N filter for $54 which is considerably cheaper than here :)

Will be stocking up when I go in November then. We are staying at Port Orleans riverside so right in the heart of Disney. Looking forward to seeing a lot of Mustangs about

We're down in Haines City on the US27 again for 2-3 weeks in November (which typically, is just as our car is likely to arrive at my dealer here for collection) so will be doing a 'big shop' for parts while we're there (taking advantage of the free delivery so many offer in the US and the huge saving the airlines additional bag charges will give us over shipping rates to the UK). Unfortunately I think I'll struggle with getting a GT350 in my carry-on!

It amazed me last year just how many EB and V6 Mustangs there are driving around in the US, with the V8 seemingly being the rarest... which must be down to their gas guzzler taxes.

Jarrett Ford have around 5 dealerships (some partnerships) in the surrounding areas so may well spend a day 'garage hopping' to see what's on offer.

We stayed at there for a night (and hard rock hotel for another night)
Nice hotel with lovely surroundings. We were in the alligator bayou.

Yup we were almost in Haines City, westridge villas to be precise. The V6 & EB are rentals hence why there's so many, there's a grabber blue GT500 SN197 cruises round the I4/top international drive area, you can't miss it or miss hearing it, absolutely epic exhaust.
