Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh...if memory serves, attaching 'straps to the GT's suspension parts is a 'no-no'...as is transporting with the tranny in gear/reverse or with the e-brake set. 'Might wanna confirm/check that with Indy/GTGuys or the like... :shrug

EP, The car is completely free to move on the suspension. 19,000 miles of trailering the GT to date. Coincidentally, 19,000 miles of driving the GT since July 2012.

You'll get no agrument from me there. I don't doubt/question that you've done what you've done without consequence. Everyone ELSE ought to be able to duplicate what you've done w/o consequence as well, IMO. 'Simply recited the 'official' factory/FGT Forum talking points on the matter 'just in case'.

"An ounce of prevention" and all that... :wink

I made it here at 6pm today. Stopped in to see Rich and Denis for a while. Looking forward to seeing everyone. Heading down to the bar for a few well deserved cocktails [emoji41]

Ready to recycle.

Gentlemen,

Mostly aluminum #34 is in the all aluminum Trailex attached to the new aluminum body F-150 and I'm enjoying an aluminum can of Heineken while getting ready for our 6AM launch for Dearborn tomorrow morning. 2000 miles in three days and I'm really looking forward to it. Renea and I will see you all on Monday night. Rally 1 veteran Charley will arrive from Texas on Tuesday. Cheers. :cheers

Chip

Here it is 8:45pm at the bar and Ralphie and Jeff are no shows. I know they are not sleeping already???

Boys, whatever you do, do not mention my name or Big Inches at the motel or bar.

pe2unia - save me a place at the bar on Monday. While I (we) are in the area now, will not be at The Henry until then. NOt sure about Ralph but 9 is now my usual bedtime! MIght have to make exceptions to that for the next week or so. You're a bad influence, as is Trent. Not to mention all the other GT hooligans that just happen to be in town.
