True. I just saw what they're asking for the limited edition version of what I was all set to buy before Bonnie turned my head. $NZ110,000, my 2020 version was $NZ80K. I could buy a dark Horse for $4k more, or an RS3 for another $20K. The numbers just don't add up for Euro stuff now.

I agree, but the Mustang isn't that heavy in comparison to a lot of cars. An M2 is similar weight, an RS6 is around 2 tonnes, my smallish 2 litre SUV was only 60 or 70 kgs lighter than the Ford. They're making cars out of lead now.

Wow. I was paying around 1.89 for premium in Italy last year is it that high throughout the EU?

I have to confess, I love rabbits. I hope they weren't upset, but we did get to some serious speeds for a while.

Dunno, Aussies do all sorts of strange things with cars.

We've just heard that our beloved Govt is removing tax on gas. Between 70c and $1.20 litre depending what you call a tax. But ( there's always a but) the buggers are imposing a mileage tax called Road User Charges. It's been used on heavy vehicles, diesels etc for years. Now it's our turn. $76...

True. It's toss up between protection and PIA. I've got a cover to take on longer road trips. In some places you don't want people to see your car.

We have the Euro standard, most of the world in fact, which is RON, Research Octane Number 98 RON is your 93 MON. It's our standard Premium octane. Some gas stations have 100 RON on pump. We can't get E85 on pump anymore either.

Two hands. Now I'm not disputing what you may feel happening. But on the demo car I drove, weight on the wheel made no difference. When I talked to the salesman, because this was a major deal breaker, he said to twitch the wheel. That worked. He mentioned Ford Australia looking for a fix in the...

Car cover.

Each to his own. If our cops had stayed as they were when I was in the job, where reasonable discretion was used, and revenue wasn't the driving force i may not have bought a detector. But they didn't, so I did. If the bosses told me to write tickets for 10kmh over the limit I would have...

That is what I was told too. I almost always hold the wheel at the quarter to three position, or sometimes twenty to four and it warned me all the time. I just turned off the Ford system and re-engaged the Lou system.

I changed mine at 2000kms, Mobil 1 Ford spec, and Ford filter. As for vacuum oil changes, they're under the car to do the filter, so drain the oil properly. I don't believe sucking the oil out gets as much crud out from the pan. My Cupra had the VW weird plastic sump plug arrangement. When I...

When the factory shocks get tired I might spend a bit and go to quality adjustables. You learn a lot about supension performance, and what affects what, as a bike rider. I always put Ohlins shocks and quality cartridges on my later bikes.

She was a cougar then. Aren't they endangered?

Never was the phrase "Oh my God, I'm coming", so literal.

There's also the tuner who pushes the limits to get good numbers. After all, it's not their car. I think you have to find one you trust more than your wife. On second thoughts, compared to number 2 ex, it's anyone.

No she finished alright. Like the parrot in Monty Python

Two well groomed people "went" together.
