And waiting for me on the front door was an order from The Detailing Shed.
An MTM SGS28 Premium Kit 2, and bottle of Koch Chemie Gentle Snow Foam.
This kit includes the SGS28 Spray Gun, 20" Lance, 40° nozzle, and the QC fitting to suit my existing Gerni 5000 pressure washer hose...
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...
If you can, do it.
Five Star Ford, Dallas
I don't know how long the 001 is going to be on display there, and we were invited to check out the upstairs exhibition as well, which we managed to completely forget to do before leaving. :facepalm:
I'm back in the US in 10 weeks, and have the option...
I would have taken more detailed pictures, but to be honest, 'like a kid in candy store', I was just overwhelmed seeing all of this in the one showroom for the first time.
We had the Service Director (Parts/Service Mgr) show us around. The Darkhorse was already sold, and they don't normally...
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...
Out of curiosity, I was looking at the Wallenius Wilhelmsen schedules.

Although the Baltimore > Australia schedule only goes out to 11th August, it appears their RORO vessels are traversing this route every ~2 weeks.
Based on the early "October"...
I had a June 12 Segmentation (next week, when I'd be in the air, flying from Houston to back home), and asking for updates is like pulling teeth.
As we rapidly approach the two year mark, this has been a very disappointing process, considering how much $$$$ is being spent. :crying:
IMO, I get...
Out of curiosity.... just checked the Ford website to see if an updated brochure is available.
Yes!

The only changes I have found in the latest brochure, dated May 7, are:
• Revised power &...
*WARNING*
Some viewers may find Joe Rati annoying.
Please look away now.
(Sorry DFB, couldn't resist) :giggle:
Edit: I could only handle 15 minutes of this guy.
I'm optimistic that values will hold, as my current plan is to sell the 24.50MY and update to a 26MY.
+/- the idiot greenies trying to make that unviable.
Biggest challenge will be to get my detailing game up to @DFB5.0 standard to help hold value!
The novelty of a manual may have worn off by...
Look on the bright side, there's this to consider...
Because of the limited availability (read as: a manufactured situation creating artificially high prices) and absurd wait times for an S650, depreciation shouldn't be as bad for us here in Oz, compared to a run-of-the-mill "average" vehicle...
Please excuse the self indulgence here...
Aloha from the big island of Hawaii.
On vacation holidays here.
I was so excited to see, in the "flesh", an S650 for the first time.
Had to take a selfie with it. :facepalm:
It's a rental.
Ecoboost convertible.
Have seen a race red and yellow splash...
I'm familiar with the route and the Panama Canal issues.
Like many others, the latest information I have (from a few days ago), is now a June build date.
Dealer did say, treat it like a grain of salt however, as the dates have changed multiple times.
I've been disappointed twice with...
Perhaps some media review cars, along with a few lucky customer cars arriving ahead of the main first allocation?
Check your ODO when you get it. :giggle:
I don't normally buy gas petrol from Shell, but a second S650 to choose which one to keep would be nice.
FYI...
