Flo's Diner - Chino Airport- Chino, California

[AtomicGT]

For those of you who aren't familiar with Flo's in Chino it is an airport cafe, Chino is a small community airport east of LA, heading towards Palm Springs. Flo's has been a breakfast meeting place for all kinds of So Cal Car Clubs, including the 1st meeting of the Ford GT owenrs in So Cal back in 2006. I have been negligent in exercising my GT due to the difficult in getting it on to the street from my driveway. I was motivated to run it today as it has been a year since it was smogged, and advice was to run it at least once a month. 114 mi today, that's a lot, pushing 5958 miles on the speedo. Guess I am good for another year???

Some shots from Flo's parking lot at the Chino Airport. Ralphie, Chip & Jeff, et al. have been here before for lunch!

Most recognisable rear quarter panel in car racing history!

An BTW, it ran flawlessly, so smooth, thumbs up all the way out and back. A true driving pleasure!

JEff, was screwing around with my fish eye lens. My GT really isn't that bent and italian in design. How come you aren't with Ralphie and the donkeys in Oatman, Arizona?

Typical schedule conflict.

In P.S. doggy sitting while my girlfriend, Terri, is in D.C. attending her granddaughters graduation from Geo. Mason Univ.

Next year when you get the GT out, try a pic with that lens and the GT parked close to a pole. A virtual accident.

Here are a couple of enhanced images of the rear quarter panel of the Ford GT

Pure esthetic design!

Atomic:
That 2nd image looks like something out of a Frank Miller graphic novel (Sin City, etc.).
