Cool! I’ll give it a try, will be the cheapest fix in history if it works. Thx for the heads-up.

With the awesome-looking cold air intake installed, depending on side winds and other weird stuff, the car sometimes drops its idle speed or even stalls when coming to a halt. I’ve been told that it’s because of the MAF’s location. Doesn’t do it often, but irritating when it does

Pulley and tune is the cheapest horsepower you can buy. Also a DIY project if you are moderately talented, just an afternoon’s work. With hindsight, I should have quit at this mod as it maintains 100% driveability, but I had to keep on messing! Now have 682rwhp but to be honest, driveability is...

We saw Shmee’s car on the dyno during our tour, couldn’t believe how quiet the Euro exhaust was

I’ve got billet inserts in my car, but a few forum members have just painted the original plastic units silver

Call Paul Bruner (832-385-4585) and ask his advice. He no longer works with Fords, but is probably the most experienced new GT mechanic in the city. He’ll be able to advise you. For what it’s worth, i always used Sterling McCall when I had my GT, but now find Mac Haik to be fine for working on...

So, my car has one-third the mileage of yours, so does that mean I’m one third as old as you, birthday boy?

So weird: I put new tyres on my car at 5000 miles, did it myself, didn’t know anything about moly lube, so didn’t use any. I then put another 2000 miles on it, including the Big Bend race (120 miles averaging 150mph and hitting 170) and never had an issue. I’ve done the same with my GT500 CFTP -...

Go retro! It's the only way, Rich will take care of you

I paid for the premium listing on BAT, got a bunch of fantastic pictures and videos taken by their photographer, then sat waiting literally months for them to run it. I sold privately before it went live and, credit to BAT, they said they’d ‘help out’ with charges on my next listing.

FWIW, last time I had my 06 inspected, my regular station kept failing it. Took it literally across the street to another place and it passed no problem. Sometime the analyser software has glitches.

When I had my black ERA Cobra a guy at a fuel stop started chatting with me. He was quite knowledgeable about all things Shelby. Eventually I had to say “ but this isn’t a real Cobra, it’s a replica”. He looked me and said, “ well, some titties are fake, - but they’re still damn fine!”

It was a fantastic time, wasn’t it? And as Chip notes, we winged it every step of the way. Once back in the UK, Fred, Sherry, Roz and I spent extra time visiting the Morgan and McLaren factories before finally loading our cars (or at least the remains of one of them!) for shipping back to the...

Some authors have opined that quality went down in the late 06 cars as the production line was winding down. My car is a very late 06 and has been bulletproof , however.

Well, we've been in Europe for a couple of weeks and have missed all these updates, By pure chance I logged onto the forum just now. We're also away in August til the 15th, but can make the dates in Canada, so we're in! Haven't seen anywhere to register? We will almost certainly drive up from...

Fuel gauge is hopeless. For example, after a track day when you’ve run 6-7 mpg, the distance to empty will use that number for ages, telling you you’re 50 til empty when the tank is 3/4 full!

We stayed downtown at the Marriott for our tour. BTW, if you are ‘cultured’ Toronto has the second biggest theatre district in North America after Broadway. Always lots of good shows to see

Ski boot bags behind each seat, a small carryall under the passenger’s knees, and fill the frunk using squishy clothes stuffed into plastic bags. You can carry an amazing amount of stuff like this; we’ve toured all over the US and Europe in our ‘06 and never felt short of clothes

Mine did that too. All four GT side marker/repeat lamps are from a Land Rover Freelander part no. XGC 000060. You can buy them easily on-line

I had issues with both Eagles and Potenzas (especially Eagles) i sure wish you could get PSC2s in the correct sizes - loved them on my new GT and loving them on my GT 500 (although they only lasted 6000 on the NGT and 10000 on the Shelby)
