Dress code comments - from Lady Moose
Having been to 9 of the 10 Rallies (yes, I count last year even though I ditched y'all the first night - we have photographic evidence that we were there, and I still have the souvenir), the dress code really is to wear whatever makes you comfortable. Certainly the day events are more casual, but even the 'formal' dinners are not formal. You will find people who have dressed up (i.e. coat and collared shirt - not sure I've ever seen a tie, though). And some of the women will be dressed very nicely, yet you'll also find people in shorts and t-shirts as well. It really is a mix and the key is to wear what you're comfortable in (comfort is a biggie 'cause there may be a lot of standing around listening to everyone's - uh - stories! You may be inside or outside, it may cold or it may be hot - it really is a no-fuss affair. As everyone has said, it's about connecting and reconnecting and comparing and picture taking, and ribbing Ralphie. Relax, trust that it will be a good time for all and that's exactly what it will be.

Funny how cool things in life like this rally make your gears turn and keep you looking forward to something. I am minutes away from going roughly 50 feet under water to look at some structural issues with a bridge in the darkest of waters and the only thing on my mind is the rally. This will be my first rally and can't wait to meet all the great people that will be attending!

Yea, I got one...too
Another classic post by Chip!
He is on the mark with his comments. I too thought who is this young DBK pulling off a gathering of new FGT owners. He is sooo young to have the skills to get this rally/Forum off the ground and keep it running. And none of us first timers had ANY idea of what to expect or who the owners would turn out to be. (Incidentally, Ford had the same thoughts when they marketed the Ford GT).
Ten rallys later, it is still an incredible experience. First timers, you are in for an exceptional experience with even more exceptional owners.... Enjoy!:thumbsup
