PAT MILLIKEN CARS AND COFFEE!

[Pat Milliken Ford]

Hello all,

It is that time of the year again to start to get the GT's out of hibernation. This is a perfect event to do it at! Start the day at our 4th annual Cars & Coffee. After that all GT owners are welcome to come on a scenic drive (Hines Drive, Northville, South Lyon, Milford) to Bakers of Milford. Every Sunday Baker's hosts one of the largest weekly car shows in the country! Come have lunch with us there and check out their cool car show. Please let me know asap if you will be attending so we can give an idea to Bakers of how many cars that will be coming! You can call/text me anytime at 248-921-8616

See you soon!

GT 53 and me left Florida yesterday and are halfway to Milliken's Cars & Coffee in Detroit ... Stopped in Knoxville for the day to drive the Tail of the Dragon, see Fontana Dam, etc ... Perfect weather: Clear, 74 degs until around noon, and a slight breeze.


Fontana Dam


Deal's Gap, ie east end of the Dragon

Looks like it's all shot to hell. My 2017 Titan's transmission crapped out just north of Knoxville. Tow truck on the way. Nissan says they have a master mechanic working today. I'm hoping he can work magic, quickly

GT is in my car hauler, if I didn't say that. Holiday Inn Express ... I feel smarter.

How are you heading home if your transmission is shot?

How are you heading home if your transmission is shot?

Truck tranny is shot. I was gonna leave truck and trailer at the Knoxville dealer and drive the GT home. Instead rented a U-haul to replace my truck and heading on to Detroit ... altho unfortunately I won't make it in time for Cars & Coffee.

Must be Raj's tricolor. Where is AJB? I think I see his car. I see Italian Joe but no Ferrari. Nice weather. I was in a charity show for Children's Hospital on Saturday but it rained until 10 and the rest of the guys finally showed up at 11:30 after it stopped and dried out. Lambos and Ferraris don't like the wet I guess. Since I was the only car to show up on time and hours before anyone else, all these old women came up and asked the same question: Is that the new Vette?

Frank ,
Yes I was there. 2nd group pic , 4th from right next to Paul Mascarenas and Vaughn Koskarian.
Amazingly My liquid blue runs better the more miles I put on it … 11,995 on ODO and I just bypassed Raj by about 250 miles. !

See you in August at “Ford GT”s on WOODWARD” here in Detroit!!
