Me to, Jeremy said my GT was 2022 delivery which sounds like an awfully long way off. A bit disappointing from my perspective, That’s 6 yrs after I first saw the car in 2016. Already started looking at new toys to fill the void!

Just received a confirmation email from Jeremy Schofield. I was planning to get to Daventry around 1pm on 12 Dec. Look forward to meeting a few of you there. Sadly won’t be driving old GT up on the icy & salty roads. Christian

Yup I’m also going to Daventry on 12 Dec. Take away UK general election blues. Not expecting to get there until lunchtime as need to vote. If only Joey Hand’s was standing for election he’d get my vote.

Mark what do race?

Mark I’m in exactly the same situation and live in Surrey UK so about 1 hour drive from Winchester. I got the email on 29 Oct but haven’t heard from the concierge since. Sent my 06 GT for a service today. Can’t wait for the new one. I’ve been playing with the configurator on the website ever...

I rec’d the same congratulations email on 29 Oct 2019 but haven’t heard from the concierge yet. Agree keeping 06 GT alongside the new one is the only sensible thing to do. I live in Surrey just outside London and had similarly given up all hope of getting a new car. So massive thanks to Ford for...

I was planning to drive down from London to Le Mans in convoy with some other GT's. Awaiting Dave's guidance but I worry that details of the arrangements to drive down are no existent as understandably most of you own cars in the US and shipping plus insurance is a problem. Is anyone who is...

I was told by my dealer to simply get on the Ford website and register interest. truth is until the spec of car is published, particularly to weight I"m not sure how much i want it. otherwise the process is completely unclear to me at this stage. aren't they going to try to ensure the cars end...

Still too cheap to actually want to part with the car. funny how if a car depreciates there's no point selling it, so you keep it and if a car appreciates you don't want to sell it, so you keep it. given the recent collapse in markets I think it's my only credible investment! new I should have...

Great day out courtesy of Mountune. many thanks Dave. Unbelievably for the UK it was too hot and I had to shelter out of the sun. I'm proposing a Bruntingthorpe VMAX trip next time. do Ford owners club ever go? Having followed the Mila Miglia this year in an Elise I'm tempted to take the Ford...

so you're running uprated injectors but standard fuel pump? would be great to see your engine set up. who did it for you? have you tried any 200mph + runs (ie really stressed the engine). mine evidently ran fine on the dyno but I'm told real world 200+ runs are a different ball game and I need...

Has anyone cured the issue for the 4l whipple other than Fubar? his mods sound torturous. it's there any simpler way for those less capable such as myself. you'd think whipple could provide some guidance as it must be true of anyone trying to benefit from buying a 4l. I'm embarrassed to say I...

I want to run my car close to flat out on a 2 mile runway and just learned that someone else with the same spec (4l whipple) put a hole in their piston as engine was running too lean. any tips? will a fuel booster pump be sufficient or should i do more? evidently dyno runs aren't realistic...

Ummm, not sure I'll answer the insurance question. just keep the old parts! I had pulley done before I drove the car so no clue how bigger a difference it would make, that said its pretty inexpensive so hardly wasted if you decide you want more. Bumper delete is a must in my view.

many congrats. wanted to do Milla Miglia and Stelvio with my FGT this year but ran out of time. Went to the Ring and Spa instead. Always imagined Stelvio would be too tight to enjoy in FGT. I'd highly recommend a whipple once you start feeling restless. Definitely moves the thrill factor up a...
