    It's Getting Real Now!

    Thanks guys! No more sleeps now, off I go to collect it, a whole very special adventure starts right now and I cannot wait.

    It's Getting Real Now!

    Yep! Posting it online on Sunday evening though

    It's Getting Real Now!

    I'm sorry, that was a bit of a cliffhanger, but I guess it is for me too!

    It's Getting Real Now!

    It's time! I've now seen Liquid Red in person, and am very, very, very pleased with making that choice. The real sleepless nights happen now, but fortunately there are only 2 of them.

    GTG 2017 Ford GT Aero Tunnel Screen Kit

    Feels like that for me too, although I can count the sleeps on one hand now!

    United Kingdom Delivery

    My travel buddy car! Looks fantastic, can't wait to see it at Topaz when we get mine in very, very soon too.

    Paint around exhaust

    This is a very interesting topic as I've had the problem with Xpel film bubbling on other cars from the heat; especially from track and Autobahn use. What do we think is the cleanest way to protect, keep the film to the shape of the flat rearward facing surfaces and not bring it onto the paint...

    Ford GTs so far

    Beginner question here, how do you charge it normally?! I just assumed like other cars the trickle would go into a 12V somewhere.

    Ford GT Price Hike? (New $1M+ MSRP?!)

    How much is the suggested increase in different markets anyway? I checked for the UK and it's now up to £555k from £520k for 2018 and £480k for 2017

    Alcantara Interior

    The tub isn't finished in a very cleanly presented way, it's the same on a McLaren as well, so the sill is actually an extra bit of weight to add something for visual appearance!

    It's Getting Real Now!

    Correct... a December delivery isn't the best for that though! However I appreciated the photos in another thread of the Liquid Red GT alongside a Volcano Red McLaren - a colour I am very familiar with.

    It's Getting Real Now!

    Having still not seen it in person, I am having far too many sleepless nights as a result! However, I have every bit of confidence that the wait of almost 3 years since the application went in is going to be well and truly worthwhile, and one of the things that matters the least about waiting...

    It's Getting Real Now!

    A few more delays have hit my delivery, it's funny seeing the K cars coming through before my J one touches down. Maybe another 10 days or so from now but I've learned to sit back and not assume anything now - it'll get here when it gets here.

    Alcantara Interior

    I can't necessarily say it's the same in all regions, for the UK we had the basic Dark Energy (alcantara all around) and then either Dark Energy Upgrade or 3 other colour theme options. The Dark Energy Upgrade came in at around £30k including carbon sills and tunnel but changing most surfaces to...

    Alcantara Interior

    Haven't got that far yet, quite confusing in the UK but I've been lead to believe it's an interchangeable part (or rather set of parts)

    Alcantara Interior

    It's the total opposite for me as I refused to choose an upgrade interior because you would have to do without Alcantara! I desperately wanted the carbon sills, but the only way to have them from new was by having leather for the seats and for me that wasn't going to be right in a supercar...

    It's Getting Real Now!

    Very aware! Originally I wasn't expecting it until 2019, up to the point at which I got the call about the order kit coming and delivery due in November. The cynic in me presumed that was in order to get it here so that I'd be making many videos about it at the time the order period was open...

    It's Getting Real Now!

    Yup! I am literally glued to YouTube and watching every single video that gets posted with "Ford GT" in the title, description or tags. Although, it finds a lot of "Ford Mustang GT" as well... However, at the time I'm writing, I believe my car should now have cleared UK customs which means into...

    It's Getting Real Now!

    I'm not sure I'd risk going to fifth, but it's actually quite easy to really light up the rears of a McLaren like this - I got through a set of rear tyres on my 675LT in a day going a bit overkill with it :biggrin

    It's Getting Real Now!

    Don't think it was, but my cars are UK where almost half of the 150 cars went.
