PONY EXPRESS: Long bonnet, ‘Pony’ in the grille - this could only be a Ford Mustang …

Interesting: ‘pony’ bucks the trend THE Ford Mustang is a contrary car: beloved of Baby Boomers yearning for a re-run of a misspent youth; or 14-year-old schoolboys fuelled by raging hormones wishing they could own one. Wrong. Having spent time with a new ‘Pony 34’ (its rego number), most interesting was the appeal of the red GT Fastback shown by young adult females, snapping selfies and sitting behind the wheel, perhaps dreaming of cruising Rodeo Drive. Maybe I did not get it, but Ford certainly did. Here’s what one Blue Oval bloke thinks: “The visceral look, sound and performance of Mustang resonates with people, even if they’ve never driven one. It is more than just a car – it is the heart and soul of Ford.”

By DEREK OGDEN In other words, Mustang’s impact goes well beyond the nine million-plus cars sold in its 50 years of continuous production. For example, it has made hundreds of appearances in film – who could forget the 1968 Fastback’s unforgettable starring role with actor Steve McQueen, carving up the streets of San Francisco in Bullitt television, music and video games, and is the world’s most-liked vehicle on Facebook. The latest iteration comes in two versions, Fastback (coupe) and Convertible, powered by either a 5.0-litre V8 or four-cylinder 2.3-litre EcoBoost turbo-petrol engine. The former a nod to the 20th century gas

guzzling muscle machines, the latter Ford’s gift to environmentally conscious modern motoring. As the maker says, no Mustang engine line-up would be complete without a great V8 engine at its core. So our test vehicle was a 5.0-litre V8 Fastback with six-speed manual gearbox, notably with Race Red paint, the most popular Mustang colour. The new Mustang looks like a Mustang … if that doesn’t make sense to you it’s a sign you’re not a car enthusiast. It has a muscular, long bonnet, shark nose and signature rear lights. A chromed ‘pony’ in full flight takes pride of place at the centre of the radiator grille. A swoopy profile is set off by 19x9.0-inch

Ebony Black painted alloy wheels shod with 255/40 R19 tyres (front) and 19x9.5-inch Ebony Black wheels with 275/40 R19 tyres (rear). The cockpit, says Ford, carries an aircraft theme with a plain design for instruments and controls. A high-resolution 8.0-inch colour touch screen presents information including satellite navigation. Seats are laterally supportive but lack of rear legroom has the Mustang deep in 2+2 territory. However, the added width and a new rear suspension make for more shoulder and hip room for rear-seat passengers, and a more usefully shaped boot that can accommodate two golf bags.

Â„ More light, less power use. What more could you ask?

Better light from lower power

By EWAN KENNEDY LED lights are becoming increasingly common in cars and SUVs because they provide significantly more light and consume a lot less power. Narvaâ€™s new range of LED Luminous Light Panels provides bright light coupled with a uniform output owners and of caravans, motorhomes, trucks, boats, even emergency service vehicles. Lighting specialist, Narvaâ€™s engineers have developed a multi-layer

design that smoothly spreads and filters the light, avoiding any visible light centre thus providing something pretty close to comfortable natural light. This output is a requirement for Australian emergency services applications, particularly within the Ambulance Service. These Narva lights are available in square or rectangular panels of 100mm or 160mm in width and lengths up to 470mm. You can get them in 12-Volt only versions, or

multi-voltage panels. The new Luminous L.E.D light panels have a low current draw, ranging from 0.30A to 0.95A at 12V and from 0.25A to 0.50A at 24V. As a bonus, the new Narva lights are also stylish in appearance thanks to their low profile design. They lights are also surface-mountable and feature hidden fasteners. Narvaâ€™s new Luminous LED Light Panels have a five-year LED warranty and can be purchased from select automotive outlets nation-wide.
