IMO, 05/06 FGT is the best supercar ever! I believe it’s the only one built in compliance with full SAE standards, so is therefore as reliable as any sedan. That’s why you should drive the crap out of it. Unlike other “desirable” exotics, you can’t kill ‘em!

As I told you Tomy, Sterling McCall indeed has one but they won’t sell it because the CEO has a GT500 too! Tomball Ford has none even though their inventory shows three. The search continues!

In a few weeks I’m running the Big Bend Open Road Race again in my GT500. It needs an oil and filter change before the race and it seems like the entire country has the filters on back-order with restocking dates unknown. The model is Ford FL 2087. Anyone out there got one?

You use six-point, and tie the crotch straps back to same anchor as the lap belts. The crotch belts then go under your thighs and up to the camlock. There’s been many posts about this and several companies offer the parts, although the billet bulkhead piece is the hard part - I got mine from...

Wow, you don’t look at a thread for a while and a dumpster fire starts! Surprised that people are struggling to find tyres, or that they think Bridgestone will discontinue them; I bought a pair less than one month ago with no problem, they were date-marked 37/21, so as of a few months ago...

Even the ordinary coupes are great-looking, saw a black one in traffic yesterday - beautiful

So, nefarious forum members spreading fake news again?! Toronto is 1571 miles from my house, fun drive, and you can get Blanton’s easily there....

Someone might be taking delivery of the last new GT during the Rally? Toronto would be great, a friend has recently moved there to take over management of Canadian Opera, and Terry knows all the cool bars.

Anywhere! Hoping that 2022 won’t suck as much as 2021 did for us.

The tank quick-connect with hose makes the job so much easier and less messy. Now, if the engineers had only put a cartridge-type filter in a more-accessible place......

I’ve had the passenger fender liner out twice; once to fix the fuel filler problem, once to fix the turn signal. Maybe it’s the warm Houston weather, but I’ve never had any difficulty, you can bend that thing like a pretzel. The only issue is that there’s actually twice as many push pins as it...

FYI, I was at the track last weekend and got a big rip in one of the rear sidewalls. Just spoke with Bill at Radial Tire and he had them in stock, so they're on their way. Great service and easy. For a comparison, I've used both Tire Rack, and Simple Tire before (this is my third set of rear...

We went last year and really enjoyed it, lots of events besides the actual concourse. Also sold my Rolls Merlin at Bonhams, which was my first-ever traditional auction experience. They treated me well and the car met reserve. Having to give it a miss this years for various reasons

In both cases it was months

Chatted with David Gooding in a bar at last year’s Amelia Island event. He is steadily moving towards the on-line auction model, easier, more profit. I tried to use BAT twice, once for my McLaren and once for the new GT. Both times they were easy to deal with but so incredibly slow that I sold...

Over 6700 miles I had leaks in front aero and rear aero. The rear is the scary one as the fluid can drip onto the exhaust system, which is a fire risk.

The overhead shot is interesting: everyone predicted that liquid blue would be the most common colour for the NFGT, but it looks like white is the new red!

I do remember this, and in fact I think I saw it at Santa Pod drag strip back when I was into quarter mile stuff. The vans got massive publicity and were in all the magazines and on the BBC. Hmm, maybe I should build one?

My experience with Bonhams was that fees are highly negotiable. I ended up paying 5% on my Merlin-Rolls and had a very enjoyable experience (my first ever auction deal), they were great. I actually put my 19 Lightweight on BAT but they dicked me around with months of not posting it and I ended...

I have an Eagle Equipment four post, the ‘SUV’ size that’s a bit higher capacity and dimensions. Ten years old, never any issues
