I am very saddened to hear of his passing, way to young. He will really be missed for sure, always had an enlightening perspective and something clever to say.
Let's all go out soon and take one of our cars for a long drive in his honor.
You got that right, ridiculous!
I'm keeping mine as long as the lord allows, driving and driving and then driving some more.
Good thing the 2nd generation GT (05/06) is bullet proof. IMHO with proper and careful maintenance it is a 200K mile plus car.
Before any really major work.
You're welcome indeed.
The GT is way to go for the groceries!
Or dropping of the kids at school
(when it's the busiest of coarse), Beer runs or any other errands you might need to do 🙂
The predictions are coming true.
I heard someone say once....
"Someday you'll say to yourself,
I remember when 05/06 GTs were only a mere 350, or 400 for a Heritage and now they're a Mil plus.
Ah the good ole days"
And that was for the very low mile examples, which now even a few thousand...
Besides Matech Competition and Marc-DVS there was
Robertson Racing;
Third place and a podium in GTE-AM
In 2011, 24 HRS of Lemans.
Started the race in second to last position, lost two laps due to
Paddle Shift issue, still managed consistent performance.
Andrea Robertson drove the last stint...
Multimatic:
The modern day equivalent (sort of) of Fords shunk works 'Kar Kraft'.
Were Ford engineers moonlight and ideas are born and brought to fruition without the restrictions of corporate bureaucracy and the UAW.
You can't build GTDs on an F150 assembly line.
Time to make plans.
Been 5 times and always took the train from Paris to Lemans and my rental car.
This time I'm driving all the way.
It's a blast to drive in France.
My cell GPS worked perfectly.
Just make sure its something like Verizon. STORMCATs suggestion.
Wish I could have been there in person to enjoy with you all what is probably the most significant ride you can get on the planet on four wheels.
Anyway, donated.
Glad to help.
I drove from Socal to rally 13 and back and discovered a few new things about my 2019.
Maintaining a speed of 65 will result in a mpg of approx 27 mpg.
Why the gas guzzler tax?
Computer will reset showing a 330 mile approximate driving range.
After going around a curve on a hill coming onto...
This is shaping up to be another epic rally. Wish I could go, right now just to many bricks still lying around needing to be stacked.
My dad said since you have to stay, dosen't mean I have too.
Give me the keys to one of GTs and I'm outta here.
This party will be one of highlights of the rally not to be missed. Sure was fun at rally 13.
Sadly for me I'm not able to attend.
Someone must bring a couple 1.75L of Makers Mark to make and drink a toast for the host with Manhattan's.
Thanks Chip.
