    Why do this?

    Only good news in the press release is that it’s limited to three cars. Everything Mansory touches comes out looking like shit

    Smelling fuel.

    When my filler flap broke it did the usual stalling thing but I never got a code.

    Small hydraulic fluid leak from aero flap mechanism

    Gary, not just the skills: one reason my car sat in the dealership for three months is because they were waiting on parts

    Panel screw placement during oil change

    My screws were missing from Markham. The “hand-built” category is not always a good thing!

    Claiming Longest trip

    My odometer showed just over 2500 miles, but we did a little extra when, after Le Mans we hooned around England visiting the Morgan and McLaren factories. 135mph up the M40, speed cameras flashing at us, but what they gonna do - no front plate and Texas rear plate? Maybe a Classic Le Mans trip...

    DBK should be the author, he had the most, err, interesting experiences, especially near the Mont Blanc tunnel! I have tons of pics

    Claiming Longest trip

    After the Utah Rally in 2017, we saw what was happening back home in Houston ( hurricane Harvey) so we went on a road trip. Ten States, 5,000 miles over fourteen days. Had a blast, would do it again in a heartbeat.

    Advice needed: How to confirm that a GT is the right car?

    Sounds like you’ve got a broken fuel filler flap. Easy, if tedious, fix, lots of posts on this. I’d never seen one or sat in one when I bought mine. 50,000 miles later I’m still in love.

    Car theft way up

    Couple of weeks ago someone got into our garage and stole Roz’s Lexus. We have security camera footage of the thief. Sad to say, Houston’s finest have shown zero interest in the theft, they didn’t even bother to come to the house.

    I had a horrible rattly buzzing coming from left rear, was a loose heat shield

    2006 Ford GT Oilpump and Serpentine Belts

    I replaced mine three years ago, and the original was still, as far as I could see, perfect.

    Handling at the limit?

    Your friend’s description is accurate: you are a hero right up until you spin off track with almost zero warning. It’s a great car to drive at 9/10s, but watch out at 10/10s! BTW, this is on Bridgestone’s, not run Hoosiers so might be better.
