Thanks everyone, glad I got the car over lunch as we had major rain here last night. Even with the rain I found myself out in the garage quite a bit last night looking her over. Still can’t believe it’s mine. And to answer some questions, fjpikul the ugly guy in the middle is, “the most eligible bachelor” and Jeff and Ralphie about heading west how do you think I am getting to Rally 8, by trailer (NO WAY).
Hey Jeff - maybe we should drive east to Wyoming or Nebraska or somewhere, and meet Mark, then turnaround and drive back with him to the Rally? Perhaps stop for a day at Miller Motorsports Park for some practice?

Mark,
I agree with the guy who said that we all should have been given a GT, but, alas, that didn't happen. Nice to see that you have one. You played a big role in how the car came out.

Great thought Ralphie. Maybe meet in N. Idaho or NW. Montana. Collect up Potatohead Chris and SteveA. for a run down 395 to Shasta, then over to the coast to the Rally.

Floridaho Chris and I are leaving early Monday am and will probably overnight somewhere in N Ca. Would love to hook up! Our route will be Sandpoint South 95 to 90 West. 90 West to the 395. Down 395 to the 84. 84 West along the Columbia rvr gorge to 97. Then 97 South through Bend to the 5 at Weed/Mt Shasta. The 5 South to the 505.

I've had mine for over 6 years and I still do the same thing. Congrats on taking your GT home.
Best Regards,

Neil good to hear from you, and thanks for comments. Without you on the program we would all gone off in 10 different directions (remember the V10 NA/double lay shaft transaxle discussions). Your directions was key to getting the car right and delivered on time in spite the crazy timing plan we were working to. BTW have you been to The Bay House in Naples lately? If you are still in Ann Arbor should meet for lunch someday.
Jeff and Ralphie if you want to meet mid country I welcome the guidance of the high mileage kings.
And Fly GT40, yes that is a polished Beech 18 on floats which is becoming a rare site these day. A long story goes with that, but will save for another day.

Congrats Mark! Have fun trying to catch up to Jeff and Ralphie. :biggrin BTW, is our "most eligible bachelor" going to be in AZ the weekend of the 18th? I hear there's a Boss 302 at the proving grounds that might like to ride with the GTs on the Getaway cruise. hint hint :wink
