Mr and Mrs Mongrel will be there

Pretty amazing that a car almost 20 years old has such a piffling list of issues to look out for, think if it was a McLaren or Ferrari etc. I heard that the GT is the only supercar designed and built to meet full SAE compliance and that's why it's basically bulletproof. 52k plus on mine with...

I used screens on mine for a couple of weeks but got tired of constant,y having to clean junk out and listening to a load of gravel rattling around. Triple ppf'd the lower sides instead.

Mr and Mrs Mongrel are registered and hotel is booked. We'll be staying some extra days (check in 28th, check out 3rd) because, coincidentally, the company that runs our foundation is based in Scottsdale, so we'll go meet them after the rally. Won't be in the ole' GT as it can't fit Roz's...

Great seeing old and new friends last week at the Ford Performance hospitality suite. For us it was a last-minute decision to attend due to Roz's health, but we had a wonderful time, our fifth visit to Le Mans with Ford. Special thanks to all those of you who were patient enough to sit and talk...

On my fourth battery, and never a problem (except when I drop the stupid bolt down into the undertray!)

I kept mine working for a while with the ole’ whacking the unit with my palm, but eventually replaced the bulb. Simple job, bulb available at any parts store

So the blue car behind her on the right is a Sunbeam Rapier, and was my first car. I drove it til it literally rusted to pieces (which happened very quickly!)

Following the Pfizer covid shots, Roz spent a year in and out of hospital (11 times!) culminating in a massive stroke a year ago. Recovery has been glacially slow, but she is improving

The one at keels and wheels was right hand drive

2019 Keels and Wheels, think it was it’s first show after a Texas restoration shop near Austin finished it. It won its class. The owner said they found a little area of original paint and spent ages trying to match it, ending up with that cool turqoise/blue. My car behind it, hot from the Big...

We went all four years of the GT program and, like many others, I swore that I’d never go back after the progressively political environment that culminated in the bogus 2019 DQs. Would love to go watch the Mustangs, however! My problem would be how to manage Le Mans with Roz now confined to a...

Revival is on my list but I’ve done FOS 5-6 times and it’s magnificent. However, you must do it via a big exhibitor in order to get the VIP treatment and access to special places. I always went with McLaren and they fly you in and out via helicopter to avoid traffic, get you seats at the Ball...

Tried logging onto GTD forum, wouldn’t recognize my password, tried to reset but never got the email

Isn’t there an old thread about this? I got mine from a Ford dealer ( with proofof GT ownership) but I’m sure that someone had sourced an appropriate belt from an industrial source

If you’re missing the originals, don’t bother with ‘Grand Tour ‘ (last one was crap), but tune in to ‘Clarkson’s Farm’ which is brilliant and pure Jeremy

I run a Ceetek through the lighter port, it's more convenient than the pigtail in the nose

Given that Ford is the only one with this kind of "clever filler" I'm guessing that a trip to a friendly ford parts department with the old ring will yield a similar one from another model. The GT used all kinds of parts from F150s, Expeditions etc, so that gasket may have come from somewhere...

Follow a GT with aftermarket clutch in stop and go traffic and you can enjoy watching the car bucking and shuddering each time it sets off! FWIW, I have stock clutch, 682rwhp, many miles, no issues

Not seeing any diff struts. I put IRS in my Vette-engined Mk2 Jaguar, based on an XKE unit. These are notorious for wheel hop, so I ran tubular adjustable struts either side of the front of the differential that run up to an anchor point on the frame.
