I gave up holding my breath. This was me last weekend.

Yeah, I noticed my contract (from last year) was a slightly less than the on-line builder estimate. All good! The 24/25 LCT saving is money towards rego and insurance. :like: I wouldn't classify a $90k car as "luxury" these days. Luxury cars would be $120k+. It's just another tax grab, and...

Ford.com.au Mustang builder reflects the reduced LCT component. As expected, this LCT threshold rise now knocks several hundred dollar off. The real cost of the $2,950 MagneRide option including LCT component (and no other options) is now approximately $3,966.

Good news! LCT threshold for this financial year 24/25 has been raised by $3,617 to $80,567. See table below: I'll be asking my dealer for a revised invoice to reflect having to pay less LCT. :like:

This has been posted on 7G in another form, but this FB snippet claims FRAP is going into an extended shutdown, commencing July 1. Re-starting on August 5. And posted 5 weeks ago was a heads up. I know black paint has been hard to come by (insert face palm here :facepalm: ) but running...

Forgot to mention, you will need a decent trigger gun with Quick Connects, which will of course adds to the expense. Also appreciate, hoses that come with the average domestic pressure washer are pretty ordinary. Not long enough to circle the car, and aren't that flexible. Read as: a bastard...

If you want to up your game with detailing, I'd suggest reading the topics in the Cosmetic Upkeep subforum on 6G. Loads of information there about chemicals, detailing equipment, and methods. I'd especially bookmark this topic: DFB'S LITTLE BLACK BOOK OF DETAILING - UPDATED MARCH 2024 This is...

Yes, I did this, 100mL of GSF to 900mL of water. Much better. :like: Brisbane water is relatively hard too. :curse:

A few goodies from Waxit Car Care arrived during the week. On DFB's suggestion, I now have a ProPulse Uberflex 1/4" Pressure Washer Hose - 50ft Blue which now replaces the original Gerni hose. This hose has standard M22 fittings at both ends. To be honest, my plan was to keep using the...

Ask your dealer for a "Vista" screen shot. One of the fields in that report is the name of the vessel. It may take several weeks +/- after your car is built before the logistics are finalised and the name of the vessel is known though.

Week of 10 June was a "low build week". No kidding!!! That's the week my Mustang should have been built. Would be nice to know what parts are in short supply? Can you jump in on that conversation and see if they can get more information?

These do exist, but for export versions. From the Australian brochure, it's a standard feature: ` I believe our side mirrors are also larger for local compliance. You'd have to pull off your inner door skin to see if your wiring harness accommodates the powered mirrors. (Surely it would be...

I've been advised my segmentation date was pushed back. Again. Supposedly segmentation date was yesterday 21-June, with June 12 before that. Mid October delivery now. Allocation month was January. Anyone else from January? Considering other January allocated cars have been built, passed...

I came to that conclusion towards the end of last year!

Appreciate the homework and recommendations, D. Things like this are being added to a wish list. :like:

Very underwhelming! I didn't pre-rinse the car, and the foam was quite runny. The cannon's detergent regulator was set to maximum. Sorry, no pictures... I was too caught up in the moment of playing with a new toy! I didn't think to adjust the nozzle, but the spread seemed ok. I've just grabbed...

OXO Mini Angled Measuring Cups. Handy for measuring out small quantities of liquids. I like how you can read the scale from a standing position, just a tad over 20mL of GSF in this case. (Photo doesn't really capture what the eye sees) Two of these for the garage, one for the kitchen...

Nope, the lack of information, and updates seems to be normal. I think the dealers also get frustrated with the information flow, or lack there of. People who have had orders in since late 2022 (and some even earlier, who missed out on getting an S550) have had their order details changed...
