That, I like.

I remember some pro driver ( it might have been "Sam the Racing Driver") on Carwow YT saying that braking hard enough to not quite activate the ABS gives shorter stopping distances. His reasoning being that there won't be any pressure modulation of the ABS pump just constant full retardation. He...

Welcome Billy. I'm curious why you've chosen the Ecoboost, mileage?

Here, tons of crap, and kids toys. Never understood leaving tens of thousands of dollars out in the elements and protect crap.

Yep, sure is. At least it doesn't look as bad on my PP wheels as it did on the gloss black and copper wheels on my Cupra. Apparently ceramic pads dust much less, and are kinder on the rotors.

I don't mind the combo. But I'm sort of attached to the vented seats in the GT now.

I had ABS activate twice. Once when I was a tad distracted driving a new "friend" to her beach house and nearly missed a corner. Braked and steered, all was well. The second time doing 150 something kmh and a stray farm dog ran out from the side of the road. Braked, steered around him and I hope...

Ford clearly uses hugely over engineered bearings.

The only method of transport universally hated. even by other cyclists.

I'd be very interested to hear how the wheel bearing life goes.

Not even an inflator? Jeez, that's cheap.

If you mean one with pedals...absolutely. But ones with real engines and other worldly acceleration, nope. I may not still ride, but I'll always know that sheer adrenaline buzz on a fast bike.

That's sounds really harsh. But I guess labour laws differ around the world, they couldn't do that here. You sound like a decent level headed guy, you'll be fine. Remember, one door closes, another opens.

That's exactly what I learned in the trade. Luckily we don't need to store cars, but when we used long term parking on our last holiday, I had them start it every 2 weeks to get a charge in the battery. They did not use chargers.

If you think Fords is junk, try VAG. Our Skoda constantly tries to connect to my wife's phone even though it's 15 metres away and mine's in the car. It drops out at certain locations in town, the Ford is rock solid. And, every now and then hers decides we don't need to see the map, or anything...

I was concerned about quality and reliability when I first thought about a Mustang, but I took a punt on it and have been pleasantly surprised. It's been easier to live with in functional terms than the Euros I had. It's only been back to the dealer for the water leak recall. I no longer have...

At least they were repairable. Our GT86 had two Michelin Sports ruined, one had a boxcutter blade through the belts, the other had a plumbing fitting through the shoulder.

I think the Porch is rwd. But they manage traction very well.

No, but mine's quieter than the two other noisy sods in the street.

The problem with that is, they will use the fact you went to a non dealer against you, if the problem gets worse. Are there no decent dealers near you?
