Attending a NFGT delivery.

We had quite a few people attend my delivery and it was well understood that we would need time alone with the delivery expert so it did not create any problems at all. I think Ford should put together a little video that we could refer back to because no matter what there are things that are going to get forgotten or overlooked in time.

Well I think we have reached common ground.
1.It is nice to have family and friends at the actual delivery.
2. You CERTAINLY need one on one time with the Product specialist and the car. 2-2.5 hours. Even with that, actual seat time is needed. I am up to 500 miles and still learning. I have actually started to read the owners manual.
3. Yes, 50 people may be a bit over the top at the actual delivery.
4. A follow-up "get together" with friends, storm troopers, cars and others would be cool. It would not be a delivery party since that already occurred. .just a FordGT party.
5. I had not thought about having one of my own and I certainly could not compete with Chip who is "The Master of the Universe " for co ordinating car get-togethers'. His payment techniques are legendary.
6. I could envision a Michigan get together this summer and would be happy to help coordinate.
7. In the mean time enjoy the cars, the Ford GT Forum and everyone who does take delivery needs to create these summaries and pictures for all to see and share.
Pretty basic really.

They already filmed an orientation video for owners a couple months ago. Not sure when it will be released. Features some familiar faces. Similar to the video with Rick Titus for the 05/06 cars.

How do you plug a VHS into a USB port?

Or they can get a mimeograph version mailed to them.
