The front grill is shocking, but i keep seeing a Ford add on Facebook with a black grill on a red car and it looks a lot better.

Mint, i love these new Suzuki's.  I saw one on the road the other day and got all excited.  How does it drive??  I want one.

I had an email from Ford today announcing that the "all-new, all-electric Mustang-inspired SUV is about to be unleashed. And with a range of up to 370 miles (600 km)*, you can leave fuel behind and embrace the future." 

Interested to see what this looks like.  I'm sure it will be hideous, but a couple of online renders look good imho (im sure it'll look nothing like this in the end though).

I'd love it if it was electric as the article suggests... just to annoy all the haters on here. 

Yeah to be fair, i think the footprint is about 10cm narrower than my previous Range Rover sport. 

Doesn't feel that big when driving though.  

Mustang.  It's very similar to the 350z RE character.

Is it not realit look so good imo

I dont know you know.  Looking again perhaps the car is real but the environment is CGI?

CGI I think.  Looks lovely though.

I was going to comment on the youtube video to find out how they'd done the tyre lettering on the MPS4S's as thats what I want, but then realised its not real.

I'm genuinely not sure if that's humor or you actually don't know as most people have never actually seen and even fewer owned a valve amplifier 

I honestly didnt know what one is.  I've just googled it.  I'm not into music, or instruments etc so i've never crossed paths with one. 

It looks lovely, and great craftmanship... but what is it? 

Any more progress planned for the weekend? 

Bloody hell, long time no see, BM!

My Dad's just put me onto this tonight.  Watched the first couple of episodes... its a good watch!

I've just googled under what circumstances do airbags deploy and i get the following:

For the driver or passenger airbags to deploy in a crash, all the following minimum criteria must be met: The vehicle must be travelling at more than about 25km/h. The angle of impact is within around thirty degrees either side of the car's centre line (around 60 degrees in total).

Looking at those pictures i wouldnt be surprised if the impact was greater than 30 degrees from centre.

Jeez Stan just reading this... sounds awful.  Looks like you guys were very lucky as this could have been a lot worse! 

Hopefully Lucy can recover without any lasting injuries.  

This was my favourite film as a kid, absolutely loved it.  I cant wait for this...!  And it looks like they've done the original justice.

Just seen on the news the Zed driver is called Julian Castano.  Not sure if he's a member on here.  Reg ST04 VMM.

Hi mate I dont remember seeing that many s550s but 70000 original older ones. I probably saw that 800bhp one, but I was drawn to the pick up trucks and 50s fins!

 

Ironically I had different thoughts, glad I dont have the old ones (my classic days are over) but thinking how I could justify buying that huge Hummer did you see it!!

 

I was stood next to the red Belair chevy and the smell of petrol was huge with the engine off, it must have a drainpipe for a carb haha.

 

Will go next year we need to do a blue stang line up.

 

Did you see the Chargers.....

 

 

Ir

Yeah I saw the hummer monster.  The tyres were about 5 foot tall!  Amazing.

Yeah would be good to go down next year. 

I popped in for a bit Stan.  There were about 20 UK S550's there... a fairly good turnout I thought.  A couple of stock ones but mostly quite modified.  Did you see the  Sutton Performance stangs?  £90k but 800bhp!

I came away depressed that a) I dont own any of the classic cars there and b) that I dont live in the USA.

Thats looking awesome!

Just be on the phone every time you pass.  You're a busy guy, you've got personal calls to fit in with family members in between your other errands.

Nice, I am in Vancouver area 

I just got back from Vancouver this week - spent a couple of weeks out there visiting family.  Stayed on UBC campus (staff faculty).  My first time out there.

Didnt do too much touristy stuff, just hung around and went out for lots of nice meals.  Tried to go whale watching but it got cancelled due to windy weather out on the water (despite being perfect on shore).

I like it.  Not seen it before.  It would look good on the right car with the right mods.

Hey Stan,

Really glad you're enjoying it.  Im a bit jealous yours is a shadow edition... i might try peeling off your side decals and put them on mine when we meet up.

The sat nav - the home button is in Favourites>Home.  It feels like there should have been a home button on the main menu though.

Ive only been on a motorway once with mine in just over a year.  I think i've averaged probably 19 mpg in the year 15 months i've had it.  Planning a trip to Spa for the F1 later this year though. 

Ooh thats nice!
