Hi all
With S650s arriving onto our shores, I'm sure some of us are keen to start up Cars 'n Coffee type meets.
Would be great to share stories, see other cars in the various guises , and discuss mods 'n things.

With Mustang delivery fast approaching, thoughts are concentrating on window tinting.
My last brand new vehicle purchase is approaching 30 years ago!
Back then I had window tint by Tint.a.Car fitted to the MY1995 Toyota 4Runner.
(Paperwork from back then is long gone, so I don't know what...

Australian 2024.50 Mustang reviews have recently appeared on Youtube.
In one of those videos, fingerprints on the 13.2" infotainment screen are very apparent.

A fascinating look at a movie buff's replica Mad Max XB Interceptor... and of all places, in the UK.
Two years in the making, and the attention to detail is incredible, especially the fake supercharger.
Grab a drink, sit back, and enjoy.

Scheduling notes, although US specific, are posted in the Ordering | Pricing | Tracking subforum.

VINs for Aussie RHD Mustangs differ to their native LHD variants, notably with characters 5, 6, and 7 (body code).
I've cobbled together this infographic below that explains the 17-character VIN.
This information is a result of asking a dealer, a deep dive on the interwebs, correlation, and...
Ford Australia will launch the "all new" Mustang on September 14, 2024 (which is a Saturday).
Early arrivals are already popping up in multiple showrooms in SE Queensland.
A two part talk that car enthusiasts should watch.
It touches on a number issues, and I especially like the discussion about EVs in part 1. :giggle:

Good news!
LCT threshold for this financial year 24/25 has been raised by $3,617 to $80,567.
See table below:
I'll be asking my dealer for a revised invoice to reflect having to pay less LCT.

What's going on in the garage?
Well, still waiting on the Mustang to be built, and shipped down under. :ontheloo:
In the meantime...

I know freight forwarding services exist to get around this, but...
For my fellow Aussies...
I was working in Houston all of last week, and after that finished, dropped in on a mate (another ex-Melbournian!) who now reside in Dallas, enroute back home.

OEM part number?
Ignoring the touch connectivity (separate...
