That second picture..... wow!

Also slightly off topic but I've been to Amsterdam a few times and alongside all the trams and push bikes, every taxi driver seems to drive a Tesla! Are they just cheap for the drivers to use/buy because of the taxes you mentioned in previous posts or is there another reason to it? Just curious if you know!

We thought the same so went into Tesla and asked , apparently they cost the same as everywhere else but there is a very good charging infrastructure which makes ownership very easy

Got a bit of a shock when this popped up on my Facebook yesterday, it seems we have a mutual friend.

I've had the same starting issue as you a few times and it took me a while to realise that I needed to press the brake pedal too. Mine is entirely stock though.

A while ago somebody asked me for a copy of the small Mustang/Pont sticker I have in the side window.... cant remember if it was in the thread or via PM.

Ive finally found my spare one, but cant remember who you are...

Make yourself known and ill get it in the post

Hi, that was me.

Theres a TSB for a faulty clutch sensor, the dealer should sort you out

Thanks, will get that looked at.

What a beautiful looking thing

I even managed to leave without mowing down the crowd.

After what happened in Westminster probably not the best thing to joke about.

Car looks great though.

Stop being so precious and get a sense of humour. I'm sure he wasn't having a go at that incident.

If you've ever seen a 'tang leave a car meet you'd probably realise that there was nil connection with what went in in Westminster.

For the record I'm not offended and I know no offence was intended, but going by the histrionics I see in the NP&E sections on here, I thought some might give the OP a hard time. I was merely bringing it to his attention, not having a go at him about it.

[PurpleAki]

Theres a lot of people on here who go out of their way to be offended. NP&E is a bit of joke these days because of it. I neither took offence or thought any was intended, but was just highlighting that you might be opening yourself up for some grief from the SJW's.

Back on topic, what's the total spend to get your car as it is now, if you don't mind me asking? I'm thinking of getting a comfortable V8 daily and was thinking of a CL63 AMG but with the right mods these Mustang's are very tempting.

Sticker received. Thank you very much.

A donation will be winging it's way to your chosen charity.

I was in Dubai last weekend and it felt like every other car was a Mustang, seems the mod scene is big there, cracking cars

So that's why a number of my pictures are blocked...

Not working for me KL

Sadly it'll only 'fix' the browser that's running the script, so everyone else would need to install it or you'd need to update your posts to modify the images in the same way (both tedious options I know).

It is a solution that PH could implement on the forums for everyone though. So hopefully by putting it out there things might move a bit quicker.

KL - my pics are also hosted on Photobucket but (for me at least) are displaying fine in my own posts. FWIW I use the direct IMG tag rather than the URL + IMG combo which Photobucket seems to prefer us to use (I say that because, IIRC, it's at the top of the links list, whereas the plain IMG one is last).

You could try a test post using the IMG link to one of your pictures and we'll see if it displays correctly.

Well, I thought the drifting looked a good effort, even if you were not convinced! And it sounds great on the video.

I believe a Maclaren 675 is around £250,000, so it ought to be faster!
I think you could build a Mustang which was faster than the Maclaren on a drag strip for a lot less than the difference in price.

[5ohmustang]

Thanks for the update. A kenne Bell sc or a hellion twin turbo system, mgw x spec shifter, drag radials and the Ford performance half shafts will smoke that McLaren on a drag strip.

What are your next planned mods?
