New 2008 Vista Blue - Finally Arrived.

Picked it up last Wednesday. Wasn't too bad of a wait.





Apparently room for another passenger. It road for about 17 miles.














This was at the dealership when I took delivery. It apparently sold for 10K over MSRP. Another was sold for similar but it was not prepped or unwrapped. They sent it by trailor to Florida where apparently it will be stored. What a waste.

Ah vely good Grass hopper! You have learned two things, First patience is a vertue. An second, a Mustang is it's own reward!

We can teach you no more, you must go out into the world and carve some curves. While we comit massive droolage and ponder the signifance of the Vista Blue Pony.

Thanks guys. I'm trying to not let the mod bug bite but already have some things planned. All cosmetic and utility. I don't see much need for more power on this daily driver/ commuter. I'm getting over 22mpg already. You can quote me in a few years when the whipple goes on.

Are native Swiss cars right hand drive? What else is involved in the conversion besides the clear turns?

Hi,

no, there are no native swiss cars except the Smart. So almost all cars here are imports. There are a lot of US-Cars here too. So my stang is an ordinary left hand driver.
For Switzerland it is necessary to change the parking lights to white color. Sometimes this is solved by small ugly bulbs directly installed in the headlamps. I prefered the parking lights im the bumper lights therefore I needed white cover lenses.

Moreover we normally need two silencers in the exhaust system since the stock exhaust is to noisy for swiss government. No Borla, Magnaflow, Flowmaster, or even SLP... Its all not legal.

Finally it is really difficult to drive with HID headlamps leagally since in Europe you nornally need automatic light adjustment and a cleaning system for the headlamps. Exceptions are possible for sportscars.

That's it I think.
