I've been driving the XR6 as my "daily" over the last two weeks. She will be 17 years old this May and barely ran in with just over 32,000 km on the clock. With the Blue Rocket washed and covered, its the Mustang's turn now............................................

I've always used CoverCraft, they have several options depending on price, material and intended use. Ford use CoverCraft to make the "factory"/genuine accessory covers for them. 2024 Ford Mustang Car Covers - Covercraft And for those wondering, that same S550 cover also fits my...

Over time, yes. Just use the right socket and be careful and you will be fine though. I've had those on/of four times and they still look great.

As others have stated, all Mustang's for Australia have the chrome jacket lug nuts. I swapped out the two-piece chrome jacket OE nuts for black solid metal lugs. Just a word of caution when selecting replacement lug nuts for these cars. I'm usually an OEM parts type of guy, but this is...

Well done on choosing a color with so much character! I'd love to get my hands on that color, it would positively glow after I'd be done with it. I got into an argument with a guy when Molten Magenta was unveiled last year, he seemed to have insecurity issues regarding colors and...

Despite having the saw set up out in the driveway yesterday, the Falcon got showered with a layer of sawdust. In hindsight, I probably should have moved it out of the garage, but then I wouldn't have had something to do today! :wink: Soap of choice today was NV Snow. Snow | pH-Neutral...

Optimum / Opti-Coat Glass Clean & Protect From experience, the fancier the glass cleaner, the worse it performs. I’ve learnt this the hard way, buying glass cleaners that claim to be the best on the market, but end up leaving behind unsightly haze and streaks. OPT Glass Clean & Protect is the...

You know how I mentioned avoiding the clear plastic type? Well, I couldn't help be amused by this post - Useful tip for the cheap clear foam cannons | Auto Geek Online Auto Detailing Forum ".......................I only paid $16 and the thing works great. IMO there’s no need to pay $90 or...

I'm only in a Mustang (and other Ford's) because of the Falcon. The very first car I drove was a 1992 EB II Falcon GLi Wagon, in 2004 I got my drivers licensee in 2003 BA Falcon sedan, my first car was a 2001 AU III Fairmont sedan. I grew up lusting over high performance Tickford and FPV...

Came across this microfiber supplier on Facebook, proudly proclaiming to be an Australian owned company. Although they don't proudly proclaim knocking off The Rag Companies logo................................................... Microfibre Cloths - Shop Our Wide Range Online

As strange as this might sound, I think that was the very reason why Falcon never made it to the USA..................................not invented here syndrome. From what I've been told, all the base engineering was done to accommodate left hand drive, as in the firewall, pass throughs and...

So, if this happens, a 4-door Mustang "XR8" would be something like $90,000 - $100,000. At that price, it's not an XR8 replacement, of which I paid $58,000 for an XR8 back in 2014, and that included a supercharger and 500hp. Granted, 10 years progress will naturally carry a price premium, but...

Foam Cannon’s 2025 I remember when I bought my first foam cannon, it was somewhat a leap of faith. At that point, I wasn’t fully committed to using a pressure washer, let alone a foam cannon. My initial use of a foam cannon was the one that comes with a pressure washer, you know the sort, those...

Well........................................ The House of Rags Australia

It's not a very durable paint, so any solvent should remove it. I only removed it where visible, in particular the exhaust tips. My car even had overspray on the rear wheels and tyres. This what I removed from the wheels............................

I initially liked what they did with the new Prado, but after seeing them on the road, it looks over styled to my eyes. And the fact they stuck with that old engine, in effect forcing you to buy the larger 300-series if you want a decent engine. The PowerStroke V6 in the Ranger and Everest was...

Old Blue's turn today................... Carpro Reset teamed with the Carpro DabDab. IMG_4689 by D B, on Flickr After blow drying, I decided to apply ADS Ceramic Sealant. This stuff couldn't be easier to apply, no streaking, no excessive buffing, no hokey pokey application...

Not a fan of that stupid shifter either. I remember complaining about it when they launched the new model, you know change for change sake. I had a Ford employee say that apparently the "focus group" clinics showed a preference for the new shifter over the conventional setup. How was the...

Something completely foreign was falling from the sky today............... a clear liquid called rain. It was a very dry summer, as has been the start to autumn, everything is crispy brown and super dusty. The rain will hopefully green things up and put some freshness in the air. So, a wet day...

Sunset cruise, would you believe it needs a wash?
