    Just joined the 20,000 club!

    I just got back from an LA – Key West – LA trip and the odometer ticked through the 20,000 mark. Asides from the luggage issue the Ford is simply an awesome GT car. I’ve stopped in some wild and woolly places to eat/fill her up and I have yet to have a bad experience – people just love it...

    Strange clicking sound at slow speed...

    Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience: I have a metallic irregular clicking sound at very slow speed. It only occurs when in gear and under gentle acceleration (or deceleration). It seems to originate from the passenger side - somewhere aft of the engine. I'm unable...

    Tip for Ipod usage.

    I bought the FM transmitter thing from Griffin - it sounded like crap no matter where I placed the ipod or which frequency I tuned the ipod/radio to. I got desperate on one of the longer drives and had to power the device using a power adapter and to my surprise the sound quality was much...

Great trip - from Detroit up Michigan across into Canada, Calgary, Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper, Vancouver, Seattle, took the coast road down through Washington, Oregon and into California, crossed over to Nevada City, lake Tahoe...

    road trip to Detroit

    We’ve now strayed from Route 66 and are now up in Colorado… Ooops… At our current rate of progress, we’ll be lucky to make it to Detroit! Some of the scenery is simply breathtaking – and the variety and scale of it all is just mind boggling! I though I’d share a couple of GT pictures:

    Luggage rack

    Anyone considered a luggage rack? Maybe mounted on the clamshell. For those occasions when you need to take an extended trip. If done right it wouldn't look that bad and could be removed on arrival. Just a thought...

    Windscreen replacement - a suggestion.

    My car is still in getting the windscreen replaced. It's been three weeks. The problem is that when they replaced the windscreen they didn’t replace the vertical rubber strips. In my case these were no longer lying flush to the glass, it looks like they were bent out when taking the windshield...

    Wipers and the luggage compartment

    On page 31 of the owners guide, it states “Note: The wipers will operate only in high speed mode if the luggage compartment hood is not fully closed”. Surely, this is a typo! I have however, noticed that the driver’s side wiper has hit the luggage compartment hood (it has removed a little...

    Cracked windscreen.

    Got up this morning to a cracked windscreen. Eek! I'm pretty sure it wasn't there when I put it away last night. The Ford guys reckon it's due to a stone chip which then cracked the windscreen due to it heating up and cooling down in the sun. It was parked on the street yesterday... Close...

    Panel alignment

    I'm pretty sensitive to body panel gaps (the bmw z8 crowd are in a bit of a tizzy over this one - they can surface as a symptom of a potential frame warping issue - my z8 is warp free). The GT had misaligned panels around the hood and the panel aft of the clam shell on the rear quarters. So...

    Finally!

    After having ordered my car 3 months ago; my dealer called to let me know that they would get an allocation sometime next month with a possible delivery four months after that. They offered my deposit back. I took it. I almost gave up on the whole project - it had become a real obsession and...
