    Fuel Tank Issue

    Driving my 06 GT to France next week, though Normandy and visiting the D Day beaches for 4 days. Hope I don't have the same problem there as I do here in England - I'll let the forum know. Got my "final" response from Ford the other day - sorry they couldn't be of more assistance. Funny -...

    Midlife crisis???

    You're never too old to have a happy childhood - and I'm having mine now! Bought my first ever Mustang, an 05 GT, two years ago at 53, sold it and now have the 06 GT. Added the stripes, leather and big wheels this time. Haven't had this much fun since I had my 65 GTO in high school! Living...

    Fuel Tank Issue

    I am in the same boat, but in England! Had a 2005 GT, bad tank, Ford replaced it and problem went away. Sold it, have my 2006, almost exactly same car (OK, went for the bigger wheels and leather this time), but same fuel problem. Now Ford says - sorry. Went through Military Car Sales...

    Who has what type of short/stubby antennas?

    Just ordered the cell look-a-like from Autozone. Really impressed with the free shipping to me at my APO address. Will always supports a company that supports us!

    Stupid question, but valid

    Fogs in the UK I live in England (retired military, wife works for bases, I teach college on Air Force base) and use the fogs as my daytime and early evening lights. Small white lights - called "side lights" here, are required, so I had the bulbs installed in the vent holes in my fogs. Not...

    Highest Miles on 05 GT

    Sold mine here in England last week with 21,000 on it. Picked it up Dec 1, 2004. I've got 500 miles on my '06 GT! Why did I sell it? Was able to import it without any UK customs tax, had to pay some to sell it, but even so - I sold it for more than I paid for it - so I guess I had 21,000...

    Installing vinyl stripes over hood scoop

    Any special tips on painting the little guys? Gettting white vinyl stripes on my red '06 this week, and have been thinking about those little black bumps sticking up - any special type of paint or anything I need to consider? Thanks for any ideas -

    noob question about stripes.

    I'm getting the vinyl installed on Tuesday on my '06. I know, I know - many insist on paint - but I figure this way I can make sure first for a minimal investment. I can always go paint later, but if I start that way it is very expensive to change, especially since everything costs so much...

    Ok, Whats the difference ??????

    Looks like they changed the exhaust tips - on my '05 they weren't noticable. Added JBA axel back, much better sound and appearance. Have an '06 on the way, and brochures show chrome tips coming out the back. Someone other than me must have noticed I guess. Still going to change it, either...

    how long do you plan to keep your 05 or 06 S197?

    Selling mine next month, has been on the road here in England since 1 Dec 2004, now has 19,000 miles on it. My '06 should be here in 2 - 3 weeks, and I will be selling the '05 for more than I paid for it! Can't say no to that deal - and I'll probably do the same with the '06. Getting...

    MAC Axle backs just installed!!! Hot!

    I have JBA on my '05, the new '06 will be here in England in a month. Have been happy with the JBA sound and was about to order another for the new car when I saw this forum - think I'll try the Mac instead. Oh, by the way, reason for changing is that I've had the '05 since Dec 2004, have over...

    Tail Light Mod

    I'm in England, had to have the lights converted to meet the UK specs, and that meant I lost the back-up lights. They are now my turn signals. Perfectly legal here, but I do miss them in parking lots. The only option was to hang a seperate white light from below the bumper on one side (they...

    Did i waste $830 on the wheel upgrade?

    I have the 05 GT with 17s, will be ordering an 06 next month for March delivery here in England. I'll be selling my 05 for several thou more than I paid, so it just makes sense. I have decided to go with the 18s, but I am offered two wheel options, premium aluminum and polished aluminum...

    UK Stang Hey Nick - not at Menwirth, I'm an old war horse, retired in '91 (kinda old for a first time Gt owner!). Wife is BX manager at Alconbury, I teach criminal justice classes at Lakenheath and Mildenhall. Tell your friend to get one! It is a blast over here to own this ride!

    GT 500 Price From Dealer Connection

    Available in the UK? Does anyone know if it will be available through the AAFES (military) sales program here in England? I have my '05 GT and love it - but could sell it tomorrow here and make a couple thousand profit (even after paying the 22% tax). The salesmen here don't know and I don't...

    JBA Evol Exhaust

    JBA in the UK Put my JBA axle backs on four months and about 3,000 miles ago - couldn't be happier! The only mod I have made, and it was a good choice, real value for money I think. Sound has improved. Get a lot of looks and great comments like "love the sound of a Yank V8!" They wouldn't...

    Resale Value?

    I'm planning on the Shelby too - through the military sales program here in England. I think I will do pretty good selling my 05 GT next summer. I paid $28k for it, and the going price here in the UK is right around $55k! By next summer my used 05 should still make me a decent profit to go...

    New GT in England - pics

    Yep, those cameras are bad - I got flashed once so far. The good thing is that the law requires them to put warning signs up ahead of time, at least a quarter mile, and the cameras have to be in plain view and painted bright orange or yellow. Can you imagine them doing that in the U.S.? They...

    New GT in England - pics

    Unique and then some - it is so much fun just driving through towns and villages and seeing the reactions. I know black is the most popular color, but my Torch Red is an attention getter, especially since I drive with the fogs on. Not exactly legal here, but hey - I'm real convincing at...

    UK 'Stang...wheel change.

    I'm the Red GT who got it same day as you - keep me in mind if there are any get togethers, would love to show up. A friend of mine in Cambridge just got his last week - another black one. Still haven't seen another red besides mine here - but it doesn't really matter. There are so few of us...
