Played the mustang today that luke has for sale, very nice pin - but a bloody led popped out from the lhs lane guide and then proceeded to block the ball loading mech, then went into error. Turned the machine off and gave a wiggle and hoped when I rebooted that I could still collect my other credits - which I could. It does look nice, very well lit unlike WOZ. In four games I never once got a ramp shot as this is the one feature I didn't like as the 2 ramps are accessed via the lhs orbit and the 2 flaps are held up until you achieve a goal then one ramp is awarded but you have to achieve it before you lose a ball and then resets to no ramps. I never had a hope of the 2 ramp flap dropping - I think?

Like AC/DC you select a mode at the start of a ball and a certain song starts, the dots look good of what I saw and the horse neigh only occurs on one target (that I could tell) and really is a trot noise not a neigh now. Overall I didn't mind it as I like car stuff but don't a burning desire to buy one at $7k, $4-$4.5k yeah maybe if I had room and heap of cash as it just seems like a general fun easy playing game. Behind the car is a 4th pop bumper so doubt you can pass through on the premium or le ???, but they are roll over drop targets with 2 static targets to hit behind that but they do rebound the ball back down the drain - so a risky shot. The skills shot is a simple one but have to judge the plunger strength accurately - as it is a gate just before the top lane guides. I liked the different angle of the top lane guide, sort had that V block feeling.

Overall not enough to rate as a lemon but if your not a hardcore ford / mustang fan hard to spend the big dollars on this pin without a heap of games first. Glad I tried and look forward to another few games in the future - not sure where once luke sells this.
