Went away for a frosty weekend

Heard a nice crunch from the front bumper/splitter on the way up the narrow pot-holed driveway on arrival, not inspected for damage yet

I do miss him.

Did he get banned? Or did he run away because we all started threatening to call the Popo on him?

It loves a drink, but no more so than any other 500HP car.

Akagi · 31 Jan 2017 at 10:47

Probably gets better economy than my 170HP car in fairness to it...

Steedie · 31 Jan 2017 at 10:57

I have it back

I do love the Mustang, Ford got that one so right. I just discovered someone in the village has one in blue. Gorgeous.

Gibbo, love the rake on that.

Cheers, the rear does has 8mm spring pad spacer in to achieve the rake.

gibbo have you kept all the stock parts ?

Akagi · 31 Jan 2017 at 12:07

How many MPG's do you get combined by the way? I'm curious to know if it is genuinely better than a 170HP straight 6 from the 80's. I'm guessing so.

Got most of the stock stuff yes, why?

Really my driving is all city and blasting, car never sees motorway trips which is where is can achieve around 32mpg, but as such my average hovers around 17-18mpg as I generally do not hang around, always got my foot to floor.

Akagi · 31 Jan 2017 at 12:35

I think thats about the same. Quite astonishing really.

I spend quite a lot of the time dawdling about because its effortless to drive, but occasionally give it a boot full, and am getting low 20's. At least I was when I last topped up. Will report back when the tank reaches the 1/4 mark.

Yeah if I am on NSL roads it obviously ramps up a lot if I just cruise on them at 50-70mph in 5th, be around 25mpg then. I just enjoy keeping it on the boil too much, don't really do any dawdling at all, if the road ahead is clear I am off.

Identical to my car! I can get 32 on a run if I'm being careful, but I rarely do such trips anymore and my usage is similar to yours, hence I average 17MPG as well. That's where the similarities end though
