Yep.......F150s and Dodge Rams are not that uncommon over here. If you're a business user (i.e. can put it through the company books) they don't attract our 20% VAT (value added tax...........something we pay on every single item we buy!).

There are also a handful of Raptors here, too

 

Wow haha. How do they fit in parking spaces? You have to be one heck of a baller to afford the gas for a Raptor over there right?

 

Yeah, they won't fit in our pathetic little parking spaces in most car parks.......downside of living in such a small country is that every space is at a premium

A brand new Raptor is about £50k or about $83k at the current exchange rate

 

Wow, and I thought they were overpriced here

 

That looks labor,intensive work.

 

Yup, StangBoy5.0 and I will be doing the work in his garage. I don't think I will be doing anything else after that. Ok, maybe brakes, suspension, supercharger, and so on and so on..........

 

Cleaned it, and cleaned the engine bay as well, and removed a couple of things in anticipation for the car being dropped off tomorrow to get the Whipple installed

Underhood "before":




After:




And the outside:








Then I installed a couple of decals on the new RTR trunk panel, the first one being for my local Mustang Car Club, the second obviously being a black pony, kinda like how the 2015 car has it:






The pile of parts removed :

 

We went to the car wash, grocery store and a quick stop on the way home for a few cell phone pics. Clean for now...until we get more snow tomorrow

 

Looking good Jill!

Took mine to church tonight. Might take it for a cruise tomorrow.

 

Looks great Nathan.

 

A touch of LED evening vent lighting was a hit tonight with buds.

 

Thank you.

 

Finally got her back after a month at the body shop following an accident. Got right back to it and installed Redline hood struts and a BBK 73mm throttle body. Then finished her off with an updated tune.

 

I attended a novice autocross school to get more seat time, even though technically I'm no longer a novice. My club is cool with that. I got some good tips from 'instructors' who rode along on six of my runs and from one who drove my car on one rum. My other four runs were solo. ELEVEN RUNS! What a great day, and the Mustang was terrific.

 

Took mine in town tonight and parked her in the parking garage between two Mercedes.

 

I do. Well, when I can get away from the cops, that is.

The plane is here on loan I believe; the CAF (commemorative air force) is who maintains it, and I think they were doing some fundraising. They also had their B-17 out there, and I got some pictures of it as well.

 

Awesome! Whereabouts?

 

I finally got a chance to drive her yesterday....fully, for a total of 1/2 hour. What a blast. 4 months in the making . It was about 45 degs out, so not ideal for traction, but I was getting more "stick" than I was at 80 degs with the stock 255 pirellis. Amazing what more contact area and drag radials do.

I can't believe the stares smiles and thumbs ups I was getting...I lost count. Also At one point, I had a total of 2 people in 1/2 hour stop next to my car and talk to me about her, esp my new wheels... Score.

 

Awesome man!
Glad you got to take her out and enjoy it. I bet people were staring and giving the thumbs up!

 

Bremerton Sports Car Club runs the events at the Bremerton Motor Sports Park; an abandoned runway at the Bremerton Airport. It's really inexpensive. The membership for the year and registration for this event (including a coupon for lunch at the Lions Club coach) was $60. You can see them at BSCC.NET. One of the photos that will scroll by is me in my blue S2000 from a couple of years ago.
