Now I am confused..

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but the Automatic Seat and Mirror position set buttons are on the US drivers side..
Not great if you are driving on the opposite side in the UK.
I haven't seen the drivers inner door, but seems strange to have 2..!

I'd say that's just the window up and down switch for the passenger
It's the door lock/unlock switch. Similar to my '09.

That looks bloody fantastic! ...... pleased I changed from Magnetic to Shadow Black.

So is that an official demonstrator or just a showroom car? My dealer said demonstrators weren't going to be here until the end of Nov.

Yep, same for me, also black interior! Will have to look out for our twin car in a year's time! smile
Well, we wouldn't miss each other would we! I'm right on the South Oxfordshire / Berks border so it's certainly possible. If I see you, I'll wave like crazy (& hope to hell it is you ??)
Me too (S.Ox/Berks).

My car (DIB GT fastback) is being built Nov 11, so hope to get it Feb/Mar '16 so may see you on the local roads soon.

Just back from 3 weeks in the USA which has only served to confirm my excitement for delivery (previously had an '07 GT California Special).

Only saw one DIB though vs many of every other colour!

CORRECT.

Having just gone to the garage and taken a look at my passenger door, I can confirm it is door lock switch.
I have never noticed it before.. Brain fade moment, sorry....

Did you take those pics Dal?

If so can you confirm the colour of all those reflectors as being amber on the sides but red on the rear or is it just a trick of the light and they're all amber?

Looks like those pics also confirm we get the stty lower ACC grill rather than the fang design of the upper. ANOTHER expense to add to the ever-growing list of mods to make it look acceptable. rolleyes

No, I didn't take the pictures - just nabbed them off the TC Harrison Faceache page to share. hehe

Great pics!

For anyone else that has a Mustang on Eurasian Highway, it's getting close! Should be in Zeebrugge tomorrow.

Do you work at that dealership or just good timing you got there as it was being unloaded?

I have a letter from when I was away last week dated `14/10 saying my car is one of the first built and has left flat rock and when its assigned a ship I will get another letter - so how long from flat rock to getting on a ship? as the letter was dated 2 weeks ago I guess it may be on one ?

When did you place a deposit out of curiosity, during champions league or earlier?

Popped in to see the TC Harrison car on my way back from South Yorkshire today and very impressed with it in the flesh.

The only negative (for me) was there really is no leg room in the back, but hey what a beast it is smile

Mine was built on 28.09, gate released 30.09, shipped 02.10 and is/was due to get on a boat today.

That said, I believe looking at others, my time from build to gate release to shipped was pretty damn quick.

Hiya mate - you missed the Saleen then wink

Placed deposit back in April - so it's not a Champions League car.

Ford Capri has been announced and it will get a 240BHP 2.3 EcoBoost (TOP OF THE RANGE there's boring stuff below too) 6 secs 0-60mph looks very similar to the mustang just shortened at the back and has a side louver, wonder if they will do a V8 version like they used to? Hopefully they don't cheapen the mustang
