A good quality 1/4 drive socket set can save you hours of misery. Also, surgeons forceps. Don't know how I did without them for so long.

Too lazy to write this all out myself. Sports cars used to be only soft tops, but like so much language it became perverted to include even fast shopping baskets. A coupe or coupé (/kuːˈpeɪ/, also US: /kuːp/) is a passenger car with a sloping or truncated rear roofline and typically with two...

Not really sports cars though. Hot hatches more likely.

I'd take a rotary switch over push buttons any day.

My one regret with the Mustang is that my fancy Temu umbrella style sun screen does not fit. And I can't find a folding one with a horse on it.

I couldn't do that. The V1 stopped the sunvisor from going back to the screen.

First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers. Which reminds me. A bunch of lawyers were on a charter fishing trip. One hooks a big bluefin and gets it to the boat. Another one grabs the gaff and hooks the fish, there's blood everywhere and sharks are closing in. The Tuna lunges and drags the...

I think the VAG system is hard to beat. You have normal PRND, once in D you can pull back on the shifter to get trans auto sport mode, and move it sideways to get manual shifting by paddles or lever.

Recalls are a fact of life now. I'd rather have that than the old days of discovering production F ups yourself. I've had 3 in recent years, one in a "bullet proof" Toyota, 2 in "high quality" VAG products. If the water ingress recall is the only one I get with the Ford, I'll be very happy.

Gotcha. I normally mount detectors as high as poss. But under the mirror is the only practical place on the "Stang. It's usually easy to tuck power cords under the A pillar trim and edge of the headlining without disassembling stuff.

Mandatory? The ones you unfold and put inside the screen? Amazing.

Not OZ, but painless over the ditch. Took a whole day.

One question, are windscreen shades not a thing in the States? They're super common here and in OZ.

That's a pain. But have you already got a 12v feed with an RJ plug up there?

Yes but, the GT350 is a Motorola Brick, an S650 is an I Phone. On your numbers that's a lot of tech and innovation for around $15k more.

I'm lucky with the Ford dealership. Sales are useless, not even a "how are you enjoying the car" in the first year. But service has been excellent. Car's ready when promised, work done well, reasonable cost and nice people.

I just went as carefully as I could, but it does require force. I did break one tab though. It might pay to price a new cover.

Have a look at the Pirelli P Zero PZ5's too. Rated very well on Tyre Reviews, a big leap ahead of the PZ4's Ford put on GT's.

I guess so, they do get the detuned version. Still, what's 50hp between friends? Still a bloody good car.

The car I was going to order, a Cupra Formentor VZ, is now $NZ110 specced how I want it, similar to Mustang GTPP spec. That's up from the $NZ80k I paid 4 years ago for my Cupra Ateca (same spec). A Formentor VZ5, basically an Audi RS3 in a different dress, will be around $NZ130K. That's how much...
