What have you done with your new Ford GT?

[TO AWSUM]

I tried a lot of sources to buy yellow Hot Wheels GT’s in bulk and I couldn’t. So I spent a couple hours on Amazon and EBay literally buying everyone that was reasonably priced on those two sites. I bought probably 500 GT’s 1, 2, 3, or sometimes 15-20 at a time at an average cost of $5.50 each including shipping. I thought it was fun but most would consider it a PIA. Mattel would not respond to my requests to buy in bulk nor did any toy distributors.

Awsum,

No, I’m still alive. That made me cringe watching it. Awful. On a cheerier note, I ran into a young man from Sweden at last Saturday’s Pavilions Car Show. He stood and looked at the GT for some time before approaching me. His English wasn’t too bad and he told me he has been a Ford fan since childhood. LOVED American built Ford cars. I didn’t believe him at first BECAUSE THE GUY’S FROM SWEDEN!!! Then he showed me his right arm. I handed him the key to my GT and let him get in, start it up, and put it in track mode. He was so happy, if I had more time I’d have taken him for a ride. Cheers.

Good show Chip; you made a lifetime memory for that young man from Sweden which he will never forget.:thumbsup

I'm your fan Chip & I'll become your lifetime fan if you get that same tattoo!

Dear CHIP.

Here is another tattoo that can be seen in Sweden.
It is the arm of a very nice young man, passionate, and owner of a 2005 Ford GT.



Best regards from France.

That's amazing.

The local authorized car hauler brought my car in for service and asked if he could get a pic with it and his unit to use as a Christmas card.
I said, "sure go ahead". So here it is.

I thought the servicing Ford dealer was to have purchased a trailer to pick up for service??

 

[06fordgt]

I had some warranty work.done so that who the concierge arranged for pick up.

Aaron Shelby will blow them away this weekend at the DFW Auto Show with he and his Dad’s Beautiful 2017 Ford GT! We’re covering the Auto Shows in Texas this month guys. She will be the hit of the Show for sure!

Thanks THamonGT! We got it all set up this morning. Show was still a work in progress as far as assembly goes. Officially starts tomorrow afternoon at the Dallas Convention Center.

On another note...I drove the car to work Friday and yesterday as I had to 'empty' the gas tank before the auto show. It still amazes me how many heads turn when the NFGT drives by. Pictures are no problem, but the scariest part are the folks that want to video it as I drive alongside them on the highway....Anyone else run into this 'problem'?

I have that problem, when I drive my 05, I can only imagine how much crazier it is in the NFGT!!!!!!!

Only one solution! Drive faster! :biggrin

 

[Awsum GT]

I like DBK's advice... more miles and faster!

one of the many facets of owning a GT.

Well they rolled out the Red Carpet for my Girl last night at the Bentley of Houston Dealership for the Keels & Wheels Uncorked fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Harbor fund raiser with the top restaurants of Houston. She was a hit!

 

[THamonGT]

I’m working hard to keep my end of the commitment. Wonderful evening with many new friends, good food and great wine pareing, except I couldn’t participate knowing I had to drive my Girl home in the Houston traffic at 10:00pm. Exposure and location works every time!
