In the UK where many roads/lanes haven't changed much in 100 years a Range Rover or a Rolls Royce can be hard work to get around in. Modern cars just keep getting wider. My V8 and MME only just fit into Supermarket parking spaces and opening the doors a few inches and squeezing out is all you...

You don't know when you're well off. Today in the UK unleaded is £1.52 per litre. So that works out at $7.63 for a (US sized 128 fluid ounce) gallon. It would cost me £90 to fill my V8s tank from empty. Electricity is bound to shoot up in price whilst there are still gas-fired power stations...

In the second half of 2020 I was only using my Mustang V8 once a week. Even in summer every 3 or 4 weeks I would get "System off to save battery" on the screen. The 12v battery was definitely low every time......perhaps down to 50% and would need a big charge. It always worried me as you need...

Regarding the 12v battery voltage situation I reported yesterday, when I entered the car this morning the screen loaded as normal with no warning message. I plugged in my voltage display thingy into the socket beneath the armrest (had never looked in there before!) and got a reading of 14.70...

Are you saying the car might be exaggerating and the battery is ok? When I got that message on the V8 the battery was really low and the charger showed just 2 bars and it took a 6 hour charge to get back to full/8 bars, I actually have one of those battery monitors already on another car. It's...

I've a "classic" car that seldom gets used and it's hooked up to a trickle charger all the time. I have a "shopping" car the family use for short runs that has a fault no one can fix that drains the battery and so I have got into the routine of charging it up monthly. I wouldn't mind charging...

Today I made three short trips and each time I switched on the screen said “System is off to save battery” I know this refers to the 12v battery as I got this same message on my Mustang V8 last winter when I hadn't used it for a month and the battery did indeed need considerable charging...

I think the keys with the mustang logo look great. Dunno if they have faux chrome or not. I got two with my V8 and now need to somehow find out if they have the motion sensing feature or not...

Perhaps there was a fair amount of toing and froing at Antwerp? FWIW my car displayed 24 miles when I collected it from the dealer. He said they'd done approx one mile in it as part of the PDI shakedown.

"Sales and Demonstration hold"???? I wonder where this leaves those of us who have been driving our cars around for the last week or so? When exactly was all this announced? In the last few hours? I haven't heard anything from my dealer so far today by phone/text/email asking me not to drive...

This thread hasn't had any images for a while so here's one from me. I picked up my car this morning. Too busy driving it to post here earlier. No issues that I can find so far. Fit and finish is fine. No buzzing from screen in front of driver. Brakes don't grab like the test car did. I'm very...

Hasn't the whole experience been shambolic? I got an email from my dealer this morning (from a new person I've never dealt with before) saying they have received my car and I can collect it Tuesday. But I haven't even paid for it yet and (after I finally got them to honour the £3000 reduction...

I pre ordered a Mach e in November 2019. I confirmed when asked in December 2020 believing the car was only 3 months away. Yesterdays email says the car is another 3 months away. I wish I'd cancelled a long time ago. I could have been driving some other electric car by now. Instead I'll be at...

I seem to have spent the last 40 years charging batteries on cars or bikes regularly....if they weren't my daily drivers. During this current Covid crisis and working from home I've found that my 2020 Mustang V8 will have a virtually flat battery after 4 weeks of non-use. The trouble is you need...

Fuel: Gasoline Engine: Gas/Electric ?? think I'll pass.

I'm looking forward to when the car magazines get their hands on an actual car that they can drive. Autocar seems keen.

Someone said: Just had another look at my order and it says 14 - 16 weeks which is mid march. That's more like it My order says the same thing. Surely 14 weeks from now will be April and no doubt you have to factor in Xmas and New Year closedowns?

????????? Every service station I've been to in this country (at least on motorways) sell liquid you pour into your tank and have their electric chargers too.

I think the clue is right there in the title: "Britain's first electric-only service station".......no petrol or diesel sold there.
