The First Mod! Yeah, yeah, I know, this isn't really a modification, rather making the best of a necessity. Number plates on Mustang's seems to be a complicated topic, no other car I have experienced has had so much thought put into the tin plates screwed to the front and rear bumpers. For...

The First Drive! Not for the first time, I drove a Race Red Mustang out of that delivery bay. Compared to the first time, this drive was somewhat familiar. I remember being absolutely terrified driving out of the dealership and onto a busy highway. The ultra-low driving position and that...

The Spec! Up until this point, I just realized that I haven't outlined my chosen spec for this car. Model wise, I briefly entertained the idea of aiming for the top and ordering a Darkhorse. Thing is, I had a strong hunch that Ford were going to ask in excess of $100,000 for them, which many...

Delivery Day! My nerves were fine until last night, I started to get that heart flutter of anticipation and butterflies in my stomach. There is no reason for such a reaction, just something I have always had when I’m either dreading or anticipating something. I also didn’t get off to sleep as I...

Project S650 – 771 days in the making! This all started in early September 2022 with Ford unveiling the new 7th Generation Mustang. At the time, I had been a Mustang owner since March 2017, in that time nothing else on the market really interested enough to buy something in the meantime. The...

Auto-Store Soaps In the past, the availability of car washing soaps was somewhat limited. You would either go your local automotive store, grab something from the supermarket, or raided the kitchen for some dish-washing liquid. Believe it or not, I have done all three in the past. These...

Not really, they are just re-selling parts that have been on sale in the US for more than two years now.

I have to say, the aftermarket has been very slow getting started with S650. I guess they have been holding off until cars have started to arrive. In the meantime, they miss out on sales from those who would like to buy parts in advance. Strange.

It's been a very slow start to spring this year. By now, I would normally be well into a fortnightly routine keeping grass under control. But the grass just isn't growing, a few warm days is then followed by a few cold days. Up, down, up, down.............................I mention this because I...

Looking at the specs, the Karcher Cube 1700 produces 1700psi, so probably closer to 1600 out of the nozzle.

A couple of additional European Darkhorse videos -

This thread is intended to be a quick reference guide for the detailing products that I grab most often. The products in each category have been tested and trialed against several others, which might save you money by skipping the hit-and-miss dance that I'm constantly playing in attempt to find...

Thanks for the video! I'm glad I ordered the extra bracket for the rear now.

I know he is somewhat love or hate personality, but the below website is a great starting point when specing a pressure washer for car washing. Just remember the prices there are for high end accessories that take a basic pressure washer and tailor to the job at hand. If you are happy to piece...

1900 psi is on the higher side but will be fine. However............................ A couple of points to consider - - For car washing, you want flow not necessarily pressure. It's the flow that does the work, helping to rinse quicker. - Ideally, you want the pressure rating anywhere...

Supervisors name is Faych, which is a play on words from when I was a toddler. Before my sister arrived, I grew up with a Cocker Spaniel called Hafey. As a toddler, I couldn't pronounce Hafey, so I called him Faychie. The personality traits between the two dogs meant a family member...

After the cleaning session, I brought the Jaguar back in for a rinse-less wash. Today, I wanted to indulge in the addictive mango scent of Opti-Coat No-Rinse...................... Optimum Opti-Coat No Rinse Wash (473ml) - Detailing Shed Opti-Coat - No Rinse | The Rag Company Compared to...

On boxing day 2021, I installed Swisstrax in my garage. Prior to this, I absolutely hated how the floor was ALWAYS dirty, often within minutes of cleaning it. And because of my detailing focus, I was frequently standing in puddles of water as I worked. And peeling paint never looks good. :doh...

What a complete waste of time and resources for all involved. What annoys me most is how motorbikes get away with this, but not cars. Every single Harley I've ever heard is waaaay louder than any muscle car. I just don't get it.

I really hope Ford Australia remain the lead engineering hub for Ranger, there has been talk in the past of America taking it back. Thing is, you can see and feel a common theme between the Ranger and the Aussie designed, engineered and built Territory. If you have ever driven a Ranger...
