I can't believe that the last time I visited this site was January 06! Was going through email and found a notice of a private message waiting for me-LOL Lots of changes in my life since I was last here-divorced now-had to sell the GT as part of the settlement. I now drive an enclosed...

ROFLMAO-a twin-turbo at 800HP?? There goes the collector's value right out the window! Run a Kenne Bell Blowzilla 3.3-pushes 55% more air than the Whipple 3.3 at 5400, uses the stock intercooler, and will really make that engine wail!!

Turbocharged cheetah here - average of .066, with a best of .040 My trick? I don't watch the sheep-I watch for movement. I do the same thing at the track-I pay absolutely no attention to the other guy-watch the lights, sense what my car is doing as we move down the 1320, and use peripheral to...

You know-that would be a great book, but for one thing-someone has seriously overrated the value of the autographs!! Now, if they had had Jackie Ickyx, Jackie Oliver or Pedro Rodriguez sign it..... Vic Elford??? Not even mentioned in another historical offering about the Gulf teams. Derek...

I'll be headed out to the NAIAS at Cobo later this month-THAT'S the show to see!:biggrin

futureGT- Contact Duffy's Collectible Cars in Cedar Rapids-they are a VERY reliable company, and since they are a 1-2 car operation, they will give you very personalized service. Tell them that Tony Poole from the Cedar Valley Thunderbird Club sent you! http://www.duffys.com/Transport.asp

RickM- Do I know you? I'm orginally from Boise! Congrats on the new GT!! My Touring club will be rolling through Boise in June, 2007-we're going to run Idaho 21 over to Stanley, stay at the Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch for the opening weekend(have the place to ourselves), and then down through...

Here's the one that is the best value for the money: http://www.actron.com/whats_new_detail.php?id=20

Easy way to take care of the light bezels-3M Clear tape-the same stuff they use to make the invisible bra for the 02-05 Thunderbird. Kits are readily available.

The Vehicle Purchase Protection program though eBay protects against fraud or material misrepresentation. I think I would contact eBay before you go any further. JMHO Here's their company website with the listing for the GT you bid on: http://www.bustermiles.com/main2.shtml

If you look closely, you'll see a Ford 500 being tested on another course at the proving grounds.

That's...just... plain...wrong:ack

Man-just a few million dollars sitting there, eh? My touring club is making plans to visit the Pebble Beach Concours in 2008-we'll be traveling from Ankeny, Iowa along the Lincoln Highway to the Monterey Peninsula, staying at either the B/W Monterey Beach or Victorian Inn, then making a run up...

Check out the two Top Gear videos-the gentleman reporting has absolutely hated American cars-until he took his first test drive. If you would like, I can place both videos and some other associated material on a CD and mail it to you-PM me with your address and I'll send it out Priority on Monday.

I give thanks for my family, my friends & the people I meet through my love for cars. May you all have a very merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. I also want to thank the men & women of the Armed Forces, whose selfless dedication to our country puts them in harm's way, and keeps them...
