    05 GT in England!

    Drove into London today for the first time - yes, it really turns heads! Next time will take the camera and get some cool location shots! Was fun taking it to Cambridge to show off, especially to a real Mustang fan. I'm new at this - he's a pro! When he gets his GT we will have a black and...

    05 mustang owner age check

    Looks like I'm the old man so far - 54, but feel like a teenager when I get in my Torch Red GT here in England! Last time I had this much fun with a car was my 65 GTO when I was in high school! Class of 68, Chicago. This is my first Stang, my first new car that I bought for myself, not the...

    How many miles do you have on your 05?

    5 days, 400 lovely English countryside miles - and lots of "bloody hell" comments! I just can't stop smiling - one of the first on the road here in England, and have taken it to 2 local Ford dealers for the salesmen and mechanics to check it out - they really appreciate it, and so do I! Cheers!

    Military Rebate?

    I took delivery of my GT here in England last Friday - have just over 400 miles on her as of now. Ordered through the AAFES Tax Free guaranteed low price program last June, and received a $1,000 military customer rebate. You should have seen the heads turning today when I cruised the small...

    05 GT in England!

    Another UK picture Here's another pic - in front of a village pub, thatched roof and all. You should have seen them coming outside to have a look! This beast is awesome - and I paid about half of what they are asking for them over here. I figure I will be able to sell it in 2 or 3 years for...

    05 GT in England!

    Totally U.S. specs - had to get the lights adjusted, extra small front lights and side turn indicators added - but other than that, it is American all the way! And the Brits love it - almost as much as I do! With these wet roads, I'll be washing it as much as I drive it - but small price to...

    05 GT in England!

    Here are the first pics of my first 'Stang - still can't stop smiling! Causing a few heads to turn on the Air Force base, and in the local communities. Seems like everyone knows this car!

    05 GT in England!

    Picked up my Torch Red GT today here in England - WOW! Can't remember when I have smiled so much - (sorry, dear!). Turning heads on the air force base where I teach, and in the towns and villages I drove through - seems like everyone over here has been waiting to spot one, and I think mine is...

    No Wheel Lock Key?

    Thanks for mentioning that. I pick mine up tomorrow, and I'm sure in the excitment and thrill of finally taking delivery, that is one item that can easily be overlooked. I'll make sure to ask.

    My GT will be sold back to the Local Dealer

    Colonel - My thoughts and prayers are with you, Sir. As a former Marine and retired Army NCO i join the rest of the forum in wishing you the best - Thanks again for the advice you gave me on the UK light conversion. My GT arrived at Mildenhall today, it is the first I've seen, and after...

    I feel sorry for our Brit stangers.....

    I'm a lucky one, I guess - living in the UK and should have my 05 GT delivered in about 2 weeks - for $28,900. Guess it pays to be retired military, with a wife working for the US forces overseas. I figure I can keep it for 2-3 years, and if I want to sell, should get a very good price over...

    Need to meet UK lighting standards

    Small world - that was way too nice a neighborhood to have a Marine Barracks - very expensive property - they moved out many years ago. We used to have a nice little bar in the basement, all the local girls would show up since the drinks were cheap - usually free for them - and we stayed open...

    Need to meet UK lighting standards

    Hey, Sirsureshot - nice to see a fellow Marine here! Happy Birthday! (Day late, but -) I was stationed at the Navy HQ, 7 N. Audley, Jan 73 - Jan 75. That was when the Marine Barracks was in St. John's Wood, and our 3 mile run was once around Regent's Park! Met wife in a Wembley pub, married...

    Need to meet UK lighting standards

    Nope, not daytime running lights. Very seldom see them here in the UK - don't know about other European countries. That has not caught on here at all. No, these are white, serve same function as our parking lights, but are used very often during daytime driving, especially in the cloudy...

    Need to meet UK lighting standards

    Thank you Colonel - will pass al this on to the guy in Mildenhall that does the light conversions and we will work out the best way - You're right - only need the one bright red fog to the rear. On the side indicators, what they did to wife's Escape (and many others I've seen) is wire one...

    Just saw this thread, I'm new here, waiting for my GT, auto, 17" bright wheels, active anti-theft, int upgrade, shaker 500 for $28,900. That included delivery to England, light conversion, customs processing, the works. No tax to be paid (gotta love the military!), and yes, they do give the...
