Well, all us Florida people are looking at a hurricane again, just a day or two before the Rally. I hope it doesn't cause trouble and we all make it to the Rally.

We are currenly looking to ship our cars a day or two earlier, hope we end up making too. Would suck to ship out cars then not make the trip ourselves.

We don't need no stinkin' hurricane. Four in two years was enough.

Hope you guys in the US have a good rally and the Hurricans leave you well alone.

We here in the UK get some pretty duff weather but nothing that bad yet ????

We have a major event this weekend, I'm taking along my GT, there are 500 Classic and Sports cars at the Helmingham Hall event in Suffolk UK.

We may get rain but thats it.

Hope all goes well for you guys, wish I could be there

Regards

- Guys, think positive-- they will be out of the canes' path. I'm sure someone would start them up for us. --Just to make sure our batteries don't drain.

See above- already someone helping out.

I have over 100,000 sqft of warehouses in miami that I can't get windstorm insurance for, to put it nicely if we get another storm, I'M ****ED! Between the rising interest rates, insurance thats gone up 300% (if you can get it) and the rising property taxes, if the government doesn't step in to at least solve the insurance issues, I think the bottom is going to fall out of the S. Florida real estate market. God forbid we get hit by another storm...

FYI
Having State Farm insure your house in Miami is more unique than owning a gt.

It is out of control-- but then so are these freaking storms.

And then try to get the damage repaired afterwards!!!!

My car is shipping out Monday, I just hope this storm doesn't throttle up. Maybe we should start detonating tactical nukes into the center of the storms and blow them up, this way I can make it to the Ralley.

Looks like we dodged a bullet with T.S. Chris. Maybe some rain but nothing else for Florida.

Weather.com - "Chris peters out"

"12:20Am Friday August 4th- There are very few thunderstorms associated with Tropical strom Chris. Chris could remain in a non-favorable environment for immediate development as both it and an upper-level low head westward in tandem. The forecast track takes Chris north of Hispaniola and toward Cuba as a tropical depression.

A tropical storm watch is in effect for the Turks and Caicos Islands, the southeastern Bahamas and the north coast of the Dominican Republic.

Even the rain threat from Chris is diminishing, but the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic could see some additional heavy showers.

In the eastern Pacific, the final advisories have been issued for Tropical Depressions Fabio and Gilma."

Well at least the rain looks like it's making it's way to Detroit just in time for the Rally. In the ten day forecast, guess which 3 days have rain :rolleyes

My wife used to work at Steeda, long ago, got fired/er laid-off :frown
I keep thinking I should take her for a GT ride down to steeda and do donuts in the parking lot :biggrin

They were pretty nice people, took us to the Seabring track and gave us a ride. Man I'd love to do that in the Gt.
