Just a bit of fun
when was the last time you saw a learner driver in a Mustang let alone a Mustang with 500HP and runs 12.4 @ 112MPH in full street trim.

That is a lot of drive line loss if that is the trap speed.

It is trap speed and the Mustang weighs 3500Lbs approx with me in it so driveline loss is about right for an auto with 9" unless I am missing something.???

Calculations still come out with just shy of 400 hp at the fly. I am always skeptical of claimed power figures. I have hit the track with many people who claim to have 500+hp. Only for ~300 of those horses to be on holiday when they get on to the straight.

Yeah, he can't buy magnetic L plates so had to use masking tape all over that nice shiny paintwork

What would you have done???
That is exactly what it is Masking tape. The same product I used multiple layers of around areas that may have been scratched when fitting the panels and trims after everything was painted.
You can use your magnetic plates that obviously will have any metal particles stick to it which you are then transferring on to your paintwork and scratching that nice shiny paintwork as you mentioned. On top of that the surface where attached is curved good luck getting magnetic plates to stay on that!!!!
Really starting to regret posting this on here.

Sorry, I should have added a sarcasm smily.

[Bushbasher]

In your title you made it sound like there was some kind of drama with a learner driver.

I did part of my L's in my uncles LHD Pontiac. 550rwhp lt1.
At the time I found it easier driving on that side. That was the normal side :P

Good on you.

My daughter drove my old Fairlane on her Ls too. Was a bit of fun.

We'll have to get the girls to line them up at Willowbank one day.

The personalized plates were on my "Eliminator" originally and most American cars start there year build date 4 months or so before that year actually begins and I have never verified the build date of the Mustang also there is a lot on the car that has been replaced or upgraded so it just seemed appropriate.

Tell her she can't drive it any more, because it's not "learner approved", and you don't want her to get in trouble with the law.

Damn nice car, though!

[Matty4]

I was a bit miffed as I was expecting some kind of action or blame being directed towards a learner driver, nothing more.

It's not the bloody learner drivers.

I know it's the end bay but you’d still think her full licenced instructor would teach her to park within the lines.

For a vehicle like that, she has parked perfectly. The instructor has taught her well where and how to park.

I'd only park Indian file out on the street.

No worries, it was not meant to offend just a bit of fun.
You were not the only person who was miffed I had a duplicate post in a more appropriate section deleted because a mod felt the same way.

Accidental skid marks? OOOPS, that wasn't the brakes!
Awesome learner car, she won't forget that in a hurry.
Envious anyone?

[PHawk]

Awesome Mate!! Lucky Girl :o)

[mik]

Mmmm nice learner limo, and good luck to her.
When I think back to some of the **** boxes I drove learning to drive and my first car, eek !

[66 STANG]

I have the same situation in my household at the moment. My 16yo daughter learns to drive in all my cars, not just the family hack!!
