  1. Think I read that the Shelby was something like you buy a standard V8 and then it's shipped to Shelby who then do all of the upgrades and relieve you of ~£26K

     

    Bottom article above :

     

    To get a Shelby GT, existing 2015 Mustang GT Fastback or Convertible owners can contact their dealer and pay a $39,995 (£26,500) upgrade fee. Shelby will then carry out the modifications and issue the car with a unique number and official documentation to prove its authenticity.
  2. The biggest change I see is that years ago to have a degree was seen as something special, few people went to university so you were seen as something a bit special when you had. These days it seems that everyone has a degree in something or other and the employment market seems saturated with graduates.

     

    I went and was glad I chose a more practical subject (Mech Engineering) but if I had my time over I would probably look at getting into an apprenticeship in something I enjoyed or wanted as a career.

  3. I don't mind Scotland deciding either way, it's potentially your country so you should decide the matter and if Scotland would just sign here to indemnify the rest of the UK from any costs resulting from them going independent then no problem at all :)

     

    BUT if Scotland deciding to go independent has a big financial impact on the rest of the UK that is going to mean changes in our taxation/debt/funding etc etc then excuse us for voicing an opinion on the matter even knowing it will make no difference at all.

     

    I can understand the value of controlling your own future and being able to tailor your government to the specific needs of the people who they govern, that's what we all want in the end. I just think that from where you are now with the powers that the Scottish

    Government has to being fully independent is a massive leap of faith with too many unknowns for such a huge decision. If devolution had been extended to it's maximum, it's limits were being strained and because of that a lot more of the unknowns had been

    considered and contingencies put in place then it would be time for a vote on the final step. All the questions raised during the debate on independence would have answers rather than "it'll be all right/wrong" which seems to be the fall back position when

    nobody knows.

     

    It does seem a bit surreal to me that the biggest decision a country can make is being made on so many massive assumptions of what will happen post independence. The Better Together campaign with it's "doom and gloom/worse case" and the SNP with their

    rose tinted "this is what we want to happen and of course it will and sod the real world".

     

    On the voting/turn out/majority question I would make voting mandatory and there would have to be a higher percentage required than a simple majority as it's such a massive decision the repercussions of which effect so many for years to come.

     

    I know that my opinion has no possible impact on the outcome and I really do hope that you decide to stay with the rest of the UK for now.

  4. I went with the 14' as one of the Ford guys said when asked if the price would increase to reflect the increase in quality replied that "the prices would be comparable with the current models"

  5. That is with $8K's worth of options over the GT Premium list of $35K. A lot of the options I included were kind of wish list stuff like the roof which is $2K and the Recaros which are $1.6K :)

     

    The only option that I would have to have is the Track Pack (Brembos/Discs/Wheels/Diff etc) which is $2.5K so $37.5K :)

  6. Ran through the configurator on the main ford website and with the Track-Pack, Recaro Seats, Tech Pack, Panoramic Roof, Parking Sensors, Security System and a few other addons my V8 GT Premium in Sterling Grey came to $43,059

  7. I'd sort out a price all in (as is with the oem parts) and give it a few weeks and see if there is any interest, you can always return it to oem later

    and sell the wheels/exhaust.

     

    When I sold my last car I priced it up with all the mods/spare parts I had to begin with. I thought that I'd sell stuff separately if I got no interest but

    somebody bought it almost straight away. It's also better I think if it can all go at once rather than dragging on and on once you've decided to sell.
