UK Mustang delivery

[Manders Mustang]

OK its Saturday April 16th 2016 or MC day (Manders collection day) as it will be known.

At a Ford dealership in the second city or Brum as its known to us taffys.

The outline of a Ford Mustang under a hand made silk car cover can be seen.

Andy Barrett stands next to it with a set of keys in his hands, next to him stand Karen and Stacey with bunches of flowers.

The lights dim, the dry ice swirls around the car, thunderous music can be heard, the MC starts his intro in his best boxing style intro

"LADIES AND GENTLEMAN TODAYS MAIN EVENT ON MC DAY IS THE HAND OVER TO MR MANDERS"

Massive applause breaks out, Manders steps forward .............................















Manders wakes up

Sh*T its Friday

One more day to go !!!!!

That's brilliant lol, i'm Mander, not Manders though. To be honest, I think i'll be dreaming all week :love:

I see something more akin to the final stage of the Generation Game (before your time [MENTION=20131]Manders Mustang[/MENTION]). "And on tonight's defect conveyer belt we have : panel misalignment, v4 SatNav card, blistered paint (rear bumper), distorted puddle lamp, inadequate coolant levels, low tyre pressures..."

All followed by some sort of Rambo-esque melt down : "don't push me" addle:.

Seriously [MENTION=20131]Manders Mustang[/MENTION], I so hope the car is perfect. Else the Midlands may implode. Swiftly followed by the servers hosting this forum !

Wait 'til he finds out it's only got 4 cylinders! :eyebulge:

Good luck, matey! I know how you feel.

[MENTION=16971]CJ01[/MENTION] lol! Indeed it would, Friday I get to see her in all of her glory and see what issues she may or may not have. I'll take a load of pictures and post them up here in case you guys can spot things I cant . I'll be taking the trusty 'checklist' with me lol!
[MENTION=15533]slowhand99[/MENTION] Bought it with 4 on purpose, didn't want the other 4 just yet ;). Thanks, nerves and excitement until friday! Especially knowing its only a 15minute walk from where I work. Just glad my dealership managed to get a delivery monday, and then with my car got it delivered on the tuesday - apparently it was on it's own on a lorry, with a bunch of fiesta's and focus' - Looking after it's younger, less powerful blue oval brothers and sisters I guess

I don't know about the rest of you but when I arrived at the dealership everything I intended checking left my head...still not given it a proper look over but the passenger side puddle light is good so far!

Seeing how I was in Plymouth today thought it would be a good idea to go down to the coast and wave at my mustang as she passed by on the Salome, could swear I saw a yellow mustang waving back from a porthole on the ship

I went a couple of days before, unknown to the dealer, so I could check panel fit and so on.

Anybody else got what looks like silver paint on their tyre valve dust caps? If I was cynical I'd say there had been a wheel scuff repair.

Congratulations, looking forward to reading your review...

You must be very disciplined, don't think I could contain myself waiting the extra days. I'm already counting the days down and I don't have a build date yet

 

[QUIRKESTER]

I have that but it shows it in the same position for the last 4 days just off the coast of America, presume it will show up on this side soon :shrug:

Mine did freeze with a later update for a while when it left Baltimore but then updated regularly - although it never moved as quick as you wanted it to!

The app is great and will be your new most checked mustang order tool!

The Salome has docked at Zeebrugge now just needs to start offloading
