I hope you guys enjoy Paddy McGrath's photography, and laid back relaxed writing style in this account of his encounter with Dave's Ford NGT, along with several others.
Paddy has followed his passion for car culture and photography to become I think one of the best automotive photographers anywhere.
Also, your car is beautiful Dave, what a colour.

Great write up! Like Paddy says in the article, we’ve all read the NFGT’s stats a hundred times over. It’s exciting to hear new perspectives on a car (and world) we are deeply immersed in.

The pictures are wonderful.
While the NFGT hardly takes a bad angle picture, this one strikes me as particularly savage.

Has to be one of, if not the best collection of pictures and write up yet. DBK has done a great job sharing his car with numerous media people keeping the Ford GT in the news with another positive article.:thumbsup

Imagine walking into that darkened warehouse for the first time from Paddy's perspective. Holy hell!

I did not know that 00 was there. Was it there at Rally 10? What became of 07?

Wow. The photos and the excellent writing sent me to my garage to have a little dreaming time. To ponder the possibilities.

I was happy to show those guys around. Paddy's photographs are great. That's one of the best sites on the net for automotive photography even if the subject matter isn't necessarily always my cup of tea. Lots of wallpaper-worthy imagery.

He seemed to enjoy the ride. I think they must be used to people who are more of the "sit around and look" type with these cars. It seemed like they were surprised we were going to go out driving and launching it. What else would we do with it? :lol
