    Have you seen how much shipping is on a new hood! I have been quoted $1000 to ship one from the big supplier in the US. There is a container company I may be using at some point.

     

    I'm falling more and more in love with the facelift s550 . But I don't think it will be the bargain the 1st one was. I have a feeling with the mag ride, fancy dash, active exhaust and 10 speed auto it won't be far off £50k which is probably still a bargain for some but wayyyyy to rich for my wallet lol

    What car after a 370Z

    No problem. There is a "sound tube" connected to the air intake which pipes the sound into the cabin. A lot of people remove this straight away as it smartens up the engine bay.

     

    Tank range depends on driving style obviously. I think since ownership I have averaged 16mpg But it's not a daily. I have managed 27mpg on a long trip, but I'm useually hoverring around 17-19 mpg. No different to my 350z really.

     

    I think I normally get 260 miles from a tank £60 odd to fill up I think. Dont really take much notice if I'm honest.

     

    MY18 is looking like a nice upgrade from MY16/17 so it's worth a look BUT you won't see them in the uk until 2018 at the earliest

    Mustang GT FTW!

     

    FYI. No fake noise. It's real intake noise pumped into the cabin but is easily removed. You will want a aftermarket exhaust too.

     

    Facelift released this afternoon so you may see MY15,16 starting to drop. But currently I could probably sell mine today for the same money. 8-11 month wait time on new build.

    Will this be a straight forward upgrade? The thermostat receiver is in the loft with the boiler. The time is on ground floor

     

    Thanks!

    More details please Hugh.

     

    I dreamt I wanted (and could perhaps stretch to) a yellow Corvette last night, so I configured it this morning ... then son no.1 FaceTimed and told me Ford are thinking about a twin turbo V8 Mustang for 2018/19 ... now, if I last out till then, I just might ..................

     

    Not heard that rumour yet , that's a new one. New Facelift mustang is due to unveiled next week. Don't think the new model will be seen until 2021 ish

    Mustang Mega meet

    Great video jimboy although as you say the music was, erhh shall we say "gash". :dry::lol:

     

    Really like the Mustangs and can't wait to see what sort of price these are going for in a few years time. Pretty sure they're going to be a future performance bargain buy (bit too expensive still for me right now). ;)

     

    Apparently they have held 99.5% of their value in the 1st year! That's due to the waiting list still being 9 months

    Mustang Mega meet

    I know there are a few on here who are fans of the new Mustang.

    On Sunday a meet was arranged at Buddies diner in Northampton. After a few days it was decided to move it from one buddies to another due to there being 20 odd cars coming and not enough spaces at the 1st diner.

    Very quickly it had to be moved the Northampton Football stadium as 85 Mustangs arrived. The organiser honestly thought 15 were going to turn up.

     

    Any way video added below

     

    Hope you enjoy (sorry about the music. Hate YouTube copyright)

    I'm having loads of problems with Apples Hime app.

     

    I have Hues around my house and all set to come on at certain times and when I arrive home. Since I have gone over to using the Home app exclusively it has hardly worked at all. The Phillips app is garbage too.

     

    Also waiting on home kit enabled light switches and sockets. Why these weren't the 1st products to come out i will never know. I have an outside light I want to control but a hue bulb won't fit

     

    I had a play with the Home app after reading your post. At first I couldn't get to grips with it, I know everything is supposed to be intuitive these days but occasionally I wouldn't mind some instructions :lol:

     

    However, once I got my Apple TV set up as the automation hub, it all started to make sense and now I've binned off the Philips Hue apps altogether :yahoo:

     

    Thanks for nudge to use the Home app :thumbs:

    Let me know how you get on with it. I'm not having any luck with the automations
