New Member Intro...

[tblackj]

Hello. My name is Thomas and I just bought my first Ford GT. It is a black with the silver stripes and I bought it from one of your forum sponsors, Shelby at Elite Autos (see Shelby, it does pay off!). I live in Arkansas and work in the auction business. I have always been a car nut and for years have bought and sold a ton of cars but due to life and wife and kids, I have slowed down a little but I still enjoy the cars I have.

I don't know squat about GT's but that is why I am here. I'm listening. I know a little about a lot of cars, but the GT is a whole new world for me.

Welcome. Just don't let your wife see how happy you are when you look at the car. She will want to know why you don't look at her like that anymore. (at least that is what my wife said):biggrin

Enjoy.:cheers

Like I said on the other thread - welcome to the group, Thomas! :thumbsup

And I still wanna know ... have you even spent 30 seconds in your HOUSE since you bought your GT? :rofl

Welcome tblackj, you have the best color choice by far:thumbsup

Congrats on the purchase. Beware ... owning one GT will make you want to buy a second and after time it will seem rational to do so. Once this disease progresses you will find yourself with a "full on Cantwell" and have about 25 of them. Luckily this disease is not fatal ... just terminal. :biggrin

all jokes a side. congrats on the purchase ... if you ever want to track her drop me a note and I can help you find a local (with a few hours) track to let her run at.

Congratulations on your purchase, and welcome to our Forum where most don't sleep because of ownership of our Ford GT's. TGH

 

[timcantwell]

Welcome aboard. Hang around the forum and you'll learn a lot quite quickly. Get out and meet some of us during some of the gatherings, and you'll have a ball and make some great friends!

 

[jdoc7]

Congratulations! Of all the cars you could have probably bought, you chose a very special car! You will absolutely love it!

 

[Kirby Vieira]

Congratulations and welcome :cheers
The "Search" feature should provide answers to your questions. if not, there is an awesome depth of knowledge among Forum members who are generous with their time, experience and smarts. If you meet other owners in your area you can get up-to-speed very quickly.
Enjoy the GT!

I'm glad I'm not the only one then! My wife said EXACTLY that to me last weekend as I was lovingly rubbing Zaino into her precious curves (the GT).

Welcome Thomas and congratulations on the GT. Drive it with respect as we don't want one of our gang getting hurt - if you ever need anything from England (which is basically mad cow disease, foot & mouth disease, immigration problems, a barking mad royal family or marmalade) give me a shout.

Welcome to the family !! :cheers This is the place to be for a GT owner. Probably everything you could want to know about the GT has been discussed here. The search feature can find answers to just about everything you may want to know. Enjoy the ride !! :banana

If you want some great media stuff I highly recommend the Discovery Channel DVD " Rebuilding a Race Car Legend Ford GT " and a Book "Ford GT The Legend Comes to Life " by Larry Edsall. I ordered the book from Amazon..If you take in these items you will truly appreciate the machine even more!!! :thumbsup

Welcome to the forum buddy. I see you over on 6speed all the time.

Did you sell the C6 yet? You will enjoy the GT a lot more. Do a pulley/tune STAT.

 

[B O N Y]

Glad to have you here!

Congratulations. Like any good gal, you will find that the better you know her the more you love her. PD

 

[tblackj]

I love the car and only have one question...

How the hell do you get out the dang thing in a parking lot without looking stupid? I find myself having to park in the strangest places to be able to open the doors.

I will learn to deal with the quirkiness in order to keep this wonderful car.
