Not all of Europe, but yes, tends to be pretty expensive here. Would hate to live in Switzerland.

Jusi75 - I'm stationed in Bavaria in the Vilseck area. I would love to hang out with some of the Mustang enthusiasts from Germany.

Is there an English version of the site? I can't get the translator to work with the forum site at .DE

I will be going to Nurnburg in the near future.

Nice to hear from someone that is close and local.

No snow last night. It's supposed to be freezing rain tonight and tomorrow though. And snowing when I go out next week. Gotta love having a job that keeps me out in the weather.

The page still says in possesion of the ocean carrier. The deadline is the 19th but I'm not holding my breath. I might have to wait till the end of March to pick it up if it doesn't get here soon. But then again the weather should be a little better by then and I will be able to enjoy driving her around then too.

I'm waiting to see what my wife sent me for my birthday before I buy anything for my car this month. I don't want to have to sell something because I have two of them for some reason. She's good about getting me stuff off my build list on AM. Ha ha. That's how I ended up with the stripes. I want to get a Barton shifter bracket or some LCA's from Stallion.

I have been thinking about getting the Steeda CAI and a SCT iTSX. It would be nice to be able to limit MPH/RPMs for shipping. One of these days I'm going to get an MGW shifter too.

I want the Barton shifter with a nice weighted **** maybe from TWM. They have great prices on Amazon and I have had one of their short shifters and M1 Abrams ***** before and it was a stellar setup.

I am just going to get the bracket first and then a **** to see if I like it. The new Ford branded short shifter is the Barton unit with the new Two-post bracket. Just because it says Ford on it they are charging over $100 more than getting it from Barton. WTF?

Ford has to make their money too, lol. One reason it's important to do the research. Unless you are hung up on the name, lol

Very true. I'm sure it costs them $100 to anodize everything blue and repackage it with a Ford logo on it.
