What's going on in the garage?
Well, still waiting on the Mustang to be built, and shipped down under. :ontheloo:
In the meantime...
Have you noticed how many vendors in the USA do not ship outside of the USA?
Very frustrating!
I know freight forwarding services exist to get around this, but...
For my fellow Aussies...
I was working in Houston all of last week, and after that finished, dropped in on a mate (another ex-Melbournian!) who now reside in Dallas, enroute back home.
You've probably heard the saying "Everything is bigger in Texas"?
Believe it!
He took me to one of his local...
I don't normally buy gas petrol from Shell, but a second S650 to choose which one to keep would be nice.
FYI...

Hi all.
Has anyone disconnected their 13.2" center screen?
Looks easier with the base model, and separate screen.
Assume connectivity would be common with other Sync4 equipped Ford vehicles?
What do we know about this screen?
OEM part number?
Ignoring the touch connectivity (separate...
I stumbled across this video this morning.
Most Aussies won't find anything new, but this retrospective look back is interesting all the same.
It brought back a few memories of my 1977 XC Fairmont GXL with the 4.9L V8 that I had in late 80's.
Fuel economy was abysmal (jets were way too big...
I really like the RTR S650 side graphics.
Clean and simple.
RTR will only sell these as a part of a more expensive package, and not separately. :crying:
I'd get the Steeda Sidewinder decals, if it weren't for their branding.
Just want plain, clean and simple.
Does anyone know of a...
Here we go.
A fuel efficiency tax, to push the public towards EVs.
Because EVs are going to save the world. Right?
EVs, of course, that are only ever charged during the day from solar etc or other renewables, never by conventional base load generation.
The ALP is targeting 141g/km as a...
An article from Steeda.
Obviously written for the domestic Merican market, but interesting all the same.

Ford Motor Company President and CEO, Jim Farley, visited Australia in December 2023 and spent time at Calder Park Raceway in Melbourne, where he drove a Tickford Racing Gen3 Mustang Supercar after hot lapping as passenger with the car's regular driver, Cam Waters.

Is this the dash/instrument cluster that the S650 should have received?
The top screen tends to resemble a traditional binnacle hump, albeit just one and not two.
From a recent Throttle House review of the Lucid Gravity.
Now that we have our orders officially in, and contracts signed, time to think about various accessories to get ready, specifically a spare tyre.
Here's one solution.

I'm sure we've all perused the brochure released by Ford (of Australia) officially released last Thursday.

Wondering if any new S650 GT 6-Sp manual owners feel the Steeda clutch spring/perch kit is required?
Your opinion (vote) would be appreciated, along with a comment about if you are coming from an S550 6-Sp (with or without Steeda clutch spring), or if this is the first manual car for you in a...
Just what we need - not! :lipssealed:
FYI
An interesting article.
I have a feeling our first arrival cars will not ship until January once the Christmas rush has finished, where container ships have priority. It's typically a ~ 45 day sail from Baltimore, so end of March/early April... and...
