I did the first one at 2000km. I'll get the dealer to do the others as it has to have a full inspection anyway for warranty purposes.

FWIW, I'm getting front sensors fitted. They're switched with ign on and armed when the brake pedal is pressed lightly. $NZ450 fitted. I'm sure you have similar in the Mother Country. They were supposed to be done yesterday but the silly bugger didn't realise they go on black trim and had them...

Once upon a time, we all did that. Sure more people died, but it was survival of the most skilled.

Nice turn of phrase you have there. I have dead accurate mental picture of that guy. 😁

If you stayed with a 40% sidewall on a 305 you'd be raising the gearing quite a bit. Might need to go to 35%.

Who? Moi?🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌 😆

It very much is down here in the land of the South Pacific peso. The Mustang is an absolute bargain here.

No doubt. But it's a lot more money here. My point was that a Mustang is like your first girlfriend, it doesn't matter that she's not a ten, she is willing.

It might be Japanese "Grabber Blue", but it's just a vanilla sedan. I wouldn't pat it if it was in my garage. :inlove:

As an ex Traffic Officer, albeit under a different legal system, I can say, admit nothing. Even saying "I was only a few kmh over" is an admision of guilt. Just like, "I had a couple of beers". If a cop asks if you know why he's stopped you, don't get smartarse about it, just say no, I don't...

They did. The owner told me to take it home for the night as she couldn't pick it up. Pretty trusting to tell a 19 year old carnut to do that. It had quite a few more miles on it in the morning.

We had a Eurofighter do a low pass and zoom climb over our car in Italy. It sounded like a hole was being torn in the sky. Might be an attention getter in a car.

I'm happy with the spec of mine, not that I had any choice. I would have liked a front camera or sensors, but that's getting fixed tomorrow with 4 colour matched front sensors.

Drive it in good health. Lovely car!

Things like the oil filter being just above the cross member on Austin A50's and you can barely get a hand in there, brake master cyl located under the floor in a chassis rail on Morris Minors. The idler bearing issue on the mini's etc, trying to change a thermostat bypass hose on mini's...

They have both apparently. He said something about Forscan being easier for this sort of thing.

"Pull the plug" is not a phrase you want to hear over 70. 😅

Yep. On a brand new Peugeot rental we picked up in Rome. It was filthy too. Very unimpressed.

You're not wrong. I started my apprenticeship on Pommie cars, Triumphs, BMC, UK Fords, etc, all universally POS's. When the first Toyota Corollas and Honda Civics arrived we couldn't believe how easy they were to work on, and that nuts and bolts didn't seize solid after 10 minutes in the rain...

Not that I've heard of here. We have various car clubs for specific brands, and there are a few bike groups for rides and such. There are classic US car clubs too. There probably is a Mustang one somewhere, being an iconic car. I'll have to do a more thorough search.
