Is there a Florida GT owner that can help my girlfriend's Christmas wish come true?

Great Gary, you know that's a perfect reason to own a Ford GT. We own them so others who would never have an opportunity to own one CAN ALSO ENJOY THEM! Thank You For Sharing This Experience.

Agreed. I think every GT owner is a GT Evangelist!

Well played Gary. It's always good to make some very happy. I approve. Her smile says it all.

Next time let her drive it.

What a great thing to see a young woman so excited about our cars.
And, what a great thing to have a member grant her wish.
Win-win for all!
My Best,
Mark

Did some video editing (as an aside, Sony Vegas is very painful to work with), and have a little clip here. The URL is private, so it's only visible from here. There may be some error in the video where Gary is saying speeds that seem to sound like they start with "one-hundred" or "hundred", that's just wind noise.

Nice vid. Thanks for putting that together.
1) Gary, man you have a lot of headroom:)
2) I think you meant to say 130 and 160 KILOMETERS per hour. Laws are never broken whilst driving the GT.
3) Mandy, the footage of you 'following' Gary gave me a good chuckle.

Alrighty. Yeah, this was my best Christmas in many years too. Meeting this young couple was simply wonderful. We don't "do" Christmas anymore, but Mandy and Maggie did it for us. Amy and I are big winners for that. Besides the opportunity to drive a beautiful young woman around in a GT (anybody get a better Christmas present than me?), and to hang out with the young man who had the cojones to set this all up...it was t-shirts and shorts and windows down on Christmas Day! Yeah, baby!

My big accomplishment for 2013 is not having worn long pants since June 13, the day we moved to Florida! :biggrin
