Hi from new member/owner

[steveirl]

I would just like to introduce myself, as I have just boughta 2006 GT in Tungsten without stripe. I only collected the car a few days ago, so have had little chance to familiarise myself with it, but first impressions are....well its everything I had hoped for and a whole lot more.
I sold my beautiful Ferrari BB512 to buy it, and had planned on buying a Diablo 6.0 but the seller backed down, then the GT became discreetly available, and I pounced, as the GT40 is my all time favourite. I definitely made the right decision on the GT
Just browsing here I can see it is a great forum and resource, I look forward to getting to know everyone, and my GT, I can tell it will demand some respect.

Thanks for the warm welcome:thumbsup
In answer to the questions, there are just two GT's in Ireland including this one, so yes a very rare car here.
I only now realise tnat it is a rare colour combo, but turns out that Tungsten(or black) without stripes is also my favourite.
The Irl in my name is just an abbreviation for Ireland, used in a postal context, this is my username on all forums.

Rally with St. Patrick

Steve,

This is great news. If things get really bad here and I need to move to Ireland, I will have two other owners to Rally with!

At the rate things are progressing here, the Ford GT may become commonplace in Ireland in a few years!

Fantastic car and great for you in Eire! Be careful with those narrow, twisty roads! But what a car to drive those roads! Does the LOCKE BAR and RESTAURANT still exist by the river in Limerick? Spent many pleasant hours there, learning how to make a "Shamrock" in the foam head of the Guinness.
