I have waited 765 days, or 2 years and 25 days to make a contribution to this thread! Finally, my car arrived at the dealer this morning, delivery scheduled for next week. My first ever view of the car....................................... Sitting in the delivery bay, still needs...

As mentioned, the salesman grabbed the window sticker and production line papers before they went in the bin. I mean, they are meaningless to most and only the very die-hard car guys would get a kick out of this, but its nice to have. I'll be making copies of the S550 versions and will send the...

I can't deny it, watching fellow members get their new S650 Mustang's over the last couple of months has had me green with envy. My day actually started with me feeling sore and sorry for myself, I didn't sleep very well, and neck pain is giving me grief again. After breakfast and a strong...

That tall gearing is a boon for fuel efficiency. Early on, I stalled my manual S550 a few times, actually it took me a long time to get used to the weird clutch and how it dials up revs for you as the clutch is let out. Once you learn to allow the computer to do the throttle input for you on...

I like how the have multiple videos formats on each car they review. If you want to hear a spoken review, they have you covered. If you simply want to hear the engine without talk or music, they are the best in the business. I'm into cars for multiple reasons, but how a car sounds is the main...

From one of my favorite YouTube channels, the Darkhorse stretching its legs on the autobahn................. Listen to that induction note at the 3.18min mark! This is why I love a naturally aspirated engine, nothing to muffle the pure sound of the engine, and no need for tacky fake noises to...

It's just the government's attempt at appearing like Australia has high standards, but its just a di.k swinging contest or a "look!...........over there!" situation. If we have such high standards, why are roads outside of the major capital cities in such a shameful state, that right there...

ADR's, the now redundant set of standards that also sits alongside the Luxury Car Tax and ANCAP in being completely useless and no longer appropriate considering the government killed our car industry, but still benefits from it by keeping these three in action.

Oh I get it, Ford wouldn't be interested in doing it. What annoys me is that Australia is one of the largest export markets for Mustang, but the UK actually gets more choice in terms of trim and options than we do.

I know Ford are having no problem selling every single Mustang they land in Australia, but I kinda wish they would do an entry level Mustang GT for those who don't want all the bells and whistles and just want a V8 at a lower price. In other words, no Premium Package or Performance Package, no...

So happy for you, a well-deserved prize at the end of a long ride. Still waiting for mine to arrive at the dealer, was docked late last week.

Any of the rinse-less wash products mixed at the waterless wash rate will do the job. I use ONR for this role myself, either at the quick detailer or waterless wash dilution ratio. Just make sure you use plenty of product and flip your towel often.

Looking good! Also, love the Atlas Blue and Space Gray combination. How do you like Pneu? I recently got some to try and have been liking it. Delivers a deep, dark look.

Touch screens, along with gloss black trims, are areas of a car interior that will always be in some state of dirtiness. Like death and taxes, a touch screen will nearly always have fingerprints on it. The best thing we can do is manage this issue with regular attention using a couple of key...

He had it honking!

Three additional soaps to add to the shoot-out - Armour Detail Supply Shampoo+ - Having just gone on sale in Australia, Armour Detail Supply has hit the ground running with a range of products that have garnered plenty of praise. With that in mind, I was keen to try Shampoo+. The focus here...

I have Tint-a-Car Octane on my XR6, very happy with it. Brand new, no tint...................................... Octane tint........................................ I once had a customer at the nursery who would come in regularly, a lovely older lady who was always dressed...

This one got my hackles up.................... Spent the better part of 21-minutes complaining about a lack of rear seat legroom, the hard ride, that it's not a practical daily commuter, that the exhaust is too loud, that it's too heavy, the lack of fuel economy..................all...

Those products will be gone as soon as the pads contact the rotor, heat and abrasion will see to that. So no, there is no issue in regard to brake performance.

I thought everyone did that?
