Found this interview with Farley super interesting

Ooohh nice! What a privilege to be able to see all those special cars in one spot. Very glad to hear you having good initial impressions and that you are not put off by the new interior. I cannot wait!

Yeah fingers crossed. I'll keep you posted as I hear more over the coming weeks. My new sales person promised to continue the fortnightly updates. I hope he does.

Now you're talking! I was thinking the exact same thing. I probably won't be able to take months of leave, but I'm going to take at least two weeks once my car comes. The first week will just be dialling the sucker in like Matt from OG would say. I will probably be in touch a few times at that...

Well it looks like mine moved but only by two days. Just got a new Vista screenshot from my new salesperson. Segmentation date was 24 Jun, now 26 Jun. ETA still 30 Oct.

LCT threshold goes up which means you will pay less LCT on the same priced car from 1st of July.

I've been chasing an update on mine. Unfortunately my sales person left so I'm sorting it out with a new person. Previous person was awesome and sent me an update every two weeks without prompting so I'm hoping I'll get the same with the new one. Fingers crossed.

Absolutely! Hopefully we all have nice Christmas presents to play with soon. If I lived closer to you I would have met up and had a big detailing and photo session to celebrate once we all have our cars. :wink:

Nice DFB! Good things come to those who wait! 👌

Well that's disappointing! I should be getting an update again today. I'll report back if I hear the same. 😔

Makes sense and aligns with my current ETA as well which has been end of October for a while now.

I think the bulk of the benefit will be in those wide super soft tyres. Albeit at the expense of tyre life and you get lots of tramlining with those wide front tyres. The different Magneride tune might gain you a little bit on the track, but at the expense of onroad performance. I think...

Essentially the handling package (not available in Australia) on the DH would give you: -19" x 10.5" (F) and 19" x 11" (R) Tarnished Dark-Painted Aluminum Wheels With 305/30R19 (F) and 315/30R19 (R) Tires -Factory-Installed Adjustable Strut Top Mounts -Performance Rear Spoiler With Gurney Flap —...

This is why I was very happy when I got a Dark Horse allocation and could cancel my parallel GT order. On the DH I could end up with the appearance package, spoiler, Magneride, Recaros, and wheels I'm happy with, without having to sacrifice one thing to get another thing . I don't know what Ford...

To be honest, 90% of the reason I chose Recaros for mine is that I love the way they look. They make the car look much more sporty in my opinion . I've heard they can be a bit tight for very big people which luckily I'm not. Heating and cooling doesn't matter that much to me cause I don't have...

For those interested to know more about the Ford Performance Welcome Pack and how to get one once you have a vehicle/VIN, I found this very helpful post from "Aussie Flacon" over on another forum. Credit to him for posting this information. More information about what the Ford Performance Club...

I would have been unhappy with that spoiler too. But then again I see so many GTs in my area with no spoiler at all. In the end, it can be fixed in the aftermarket if it bothers you, but I get the frustration. From what I've seen it's very easy to swap S650 spoilers.

Yeah look I'm not betting my house on it because we are talking about Ford here, but the very first EU homologation cars had the small blade spoiler. I've seen many photos on the official Ford EU webpages very early on with the same blade spoilers. Where it had the US one with the gurney flap...

Yeah that seems to be a EU specific issue. Even their early demo cars had the small lip where ours didn't. Never say never, but I think we're going to be OK on that front.

That's great news! It's a milestone I hope I'll get to in about 6 weeks. 👍
