Not the best shots as the light was pretty harsh due to the time of day but few turned out ok. Enjoy!

I bought a cheapy 60 LED worklight in the mindset that I'd use it for some light painting.

Thought I'd give it a real quick shot in my drive way tonight.

Hey Conrad, Hope you enjoyed the track day. I'll have to get myself down there one year to do it too. Maybe worth starting a Thread and elborate on how it was? I did the Annual A.R.D.C. Member's Track day at Eastern Creek Raceway last week f.y.i.

Wow, haven't been here in a while.

Just thought I would post some updated pics of my 07 LT.

The engine bays stuff is pretty much finished... just need to sort out the catch can a little better. Also, the symposer is going as well.

Will do Nolz! I had a rattle in my back right door, so I took it back to get fixed today. I think it was a loose screw, which they fixed. But I can sort of can still hear some rattling when I put the music up. So I want to take it to another dealer and see if they can do a better job.

I'm still yet to see you driving around.

Loving our new car.

When we took delivery of it the SD card for satnav
was on back order. Picked up the SD card this friday when I had to take the car down because the auto wipers and headlights were not working. They said they would look at it at the first service.

Thought I'd have a squiz myself. So I took off the cover just behind the rear view mirror where the rainsensor and light sensors are and found the three wire connector was not fully locked in. Clipped it in and all fine now.

I've just found that the mapping on the GPS in my Focus Sport is quite old. There are streets near my home that have existed for at least 3 years that don't come up on the GPS; but they do on my Garmin Nuvi.

How often do Ford update the mapping, and how much do they charge for it?

This is the reason why factory GPS are of limited value especially when you have to pay usually big money for updates.
When buying you need to specify this years map as part of deal.

It helps if you work for the company that supply the maps ;)

I'm trying to hunt down the latest ones to get my hands on once my SD card arrives. Will let you guys know when I find out.

Otherwise there is a section on the ford website which will have map updates once they come through -> http://www.ford.com.au/ownership/sat-nav-map

What excuse did your dealer give you? Mine told me the SD cards were on back order, but suddenly showed up on friday. The funny thing is the first day I picked my my new car and got home I found the plastic cover for the SD card was stuck in between the drivers seat and centre console, minus the SD card...strange.
