It was from a week ago when I was at Silverstone with my car, should have used my car really then you'd be able to hear it.
Possibly could have heard it from my house, as I'm only a stone's throw from the circuit!
NEARLY 2 YEARS WAITING: New Mustang GT PP is finally mine!

More like how it should sound drifting:
Though I am not so much for Milltek sound, bit tinny/raspy in upper RPM's far prefer the deeper growl of mine.
I was following a white one this evening, just admiring it, as you do, and we were both sitting at a roundabout when a black convertible flew round in front of us! 
Couldn't hear the white one at all so don't know what engine it had, and the driver wasn't biting even when I blipped mine. The convertible was the V8 though.

I think it has done better than anyone could have predicted especially in UK, Australia and Germany where sales are very good indeed.
Though the article has got this wrong:
Recently, Autocar reported that UK waiting times for the new Ford Mustang had reached as much as six months due to higher than expected demand. Nair admitted production times had grown, but saw the problem in a more positive light. “It’s true demand is so high we can’t build them fast enough,” he said. “But really this is a great problem to have.”
Ford are still quoting 9-12 month wait times.....
I still absolutely love driving mine, though having a bit of a play with the outgoing Jaguar XFR model a few nights ago it had the legs on me for sure in the straight bits, especially on gear changes. I need a little more power but a little more will no doubt come in the package of a lot more.
Does make me wonder sometimes if I made the right decision with a manual, as for outright pace auto is quicker and in traffic its just more convenient. But then when I get an open road the thoughts of having an auto all but fade away.
If Ford make the 10-speed auto an option in years to come I can see myself trading in, though that will be a royal pain as I shall need to remove most of my parts and re-fit them on the replacement, unless of course we get some Shelby options come available.
Hi there
So plastidip just the RTR side and rear splitters in black to match the front splitter, but left the stock aero in the dark grey, really happy with how its turned out and I feel I now have the car looking exactly how I want it.
The side winglets now plastidip even close up look great and for those who do not know just think they are factory pieces, which has being the aim look wise I have wanted, some added yet subtle aggression that could pass off as being factory fit.
Tried to do the plastidip outside but unfortunately the wind was causing dust to get stuck in it, so went the local bodyshop he sprayed me them for free with supplied plastidip and it has adhered fine, but of course time will tell.
Then had to drive to XJK as they were aligning a work colleagues BMW and he wanted a fast road setup so I went and dialled in the geo settings on the rack.
Was an opportunity to grab some photos in the sun!

Looking epic Gibbo, perfect from every angle!
Hi there
Quite a bold statement by Ford:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/money...mustang-now-worlds-top-sports-coupe/83268970/
Worlds best selling sports coupe, gotta say though a massive achievement for Ford, lets hope this success brings further quality improvements and more options for future EU/UK models.

Armed forces? Possibly expats over in fairly lucrative jobs?
There are a lot in Norway too but generally only the very wealthy.
EU models don't have that, I actually wished my car did have them, but here in UK we just get traditional amber blinker and red brake lights.
Hi there
Well today I took delivery of a part I ordered months ago, something I am most excited about, hoping to fit it tomorrow before I depart for Amsterdam for business meetings with Intel. Fingers cross I get it done tomorrow and all goes well, will post some potato images up.
Also finally decided on colour for my wheels and sizes, I tend to over-think and over analyse every mod I do, but the results tend to speak for themselves so after months of going back and forth I finally decided to go with:
MMR FS02 forged wheels
20x10 ET40 front fitment (might use a 3mm spacer as well) with 275/35/20 MPSS tyres
20x11 ET55 rear fitment with 295/35/20 MPSS tyres
Colour: Brushed/Polished clearcoat (similar finish to AMG High-Sheen)
I might also spoil myself and fit two-piece grooved disc front and rear also, giving a total saving of around 50kg in unsprung mass from the car.
The finish I think will be very rare even by US standards and it might look completely junk, but I think it will suit the car and give it a real unique, classy and aggressive factory look, which has always being my aim with this car. Probably not to everyone taste but I dare to be different!
