I've been with Adrian Flux for a few years now and made a couple of claims. Never had a problem with them

Thanks, for that, awaiting a reply from Adrian Flux and RH Specialist, A-Plan want LHD experience, MCE want £1700.00 but only listed a Shelby GT500.

Andi.

Suprised about MCE, my first years insurance with them was ~£450 (at the time the Mustang was 2 years old, a few mods and I was 32)

EDIT: Just realised you were quoting against a GT500, is the car you are looking at super-charged?

BTW the 2008 GT you have reserved, was that the black one with cloth interior? If so see if they can get the interior swapped for you.

Yes that's the one, swapped for what? bear in mind I don't like hot leather seats

No plain GT version http://www.billshepherdmustang.com/index.php?option=com_ezautos&task=detail&id=105&Itemid=26 . I've spoken to Bill Shepherd and they recommended MCE but gave me a name to talk to so I'll ring in the morning.

Don't tell the wife, she doesn't know yet!

Ugh I accidentally closed the window, I had some stuff written out, but basically everything that has been said is what I'd have said.

Bill Shepherd is something most UK owners would recommends, including the owners clubs.I believe they do they correct light conversion.

Adrian flux have insured me at 25 for £900.

The only thing that did put me off riding in a stock one was the ride was a little soft and especially in Jersey with smaller roads and probably more "aggressive" corners, it rolled a bit. But mine has had all the lowering/stiffened/antiroll bar/sway brace stuff done.

OK guys, where are your Mustang pictures?

Andi.

markwilliams82 · 21 Jul 2010 at 08:21

deffo, we need mustang pictures! i love the mustang, such a gorgeous car

wozzizname · 21 Jul 2010 at 08:31

One of these is starting to sound really appealing to me - how long did it take you to get used to driving a LHD on this country's roads ?

Just like people do when they take their car abroad.
I got used to it, oh.. within the first gear change

As terrified as I was with the current owner in the passenger seat on unfamiliar UK roads in the wet, eep!

Brrrrrrrp!

I just can't love these like I can the classics...

I did see a New Shelby outside a pub the other week though. :cool:

markwilliams82 · 21 Jul 2010 at 09:59

Classics are and always will be the best, but the new mustangs especially in black or dark grey look amazing. I think its just to how butch they look

Would love to own one

Okay then (like I need an excuse)...

markwilliams82 · 21 Jul 2010 at 10:13

OK now that is gorgeous! :eek:

Brilliant pictures as well! Got to ask, what camera did you use for them?

andicole0 · 21 Jul 2010 at 11:13

Ok deal done. £368 with MCE - somewhat less than the on-line quote of £1700 :eek:

Set to collect tomorrow afternoon Thursday.

Thanks for all the help advice and encouragement

Andi.

Very nice car Andi, I'm sure you'll enjoy that! let us know how you get on with the LHD

Took it for a test drive yesterday, LHD was a bit odd, but OK, then RHD going home was odd afterwards :cool:

I suppose it will be one of those things you can easily get used to, and if you can't...I'll gladly have the car

lol

but seriously, driving around in that and listening to the roar of the engine must feel so good

It's nowhere near as loud as I thought it would be and a huge amount quieter than my Cobra was :eek:

markwilliams82 · 21 Jul 2010 at 11:49

GSXRMovistar · 21 Jul 2010 at 11:54

Nice one, now get yourself signed up on MOCGB if you haven't done so already.
