I have been tempted to take it out for a ride in the snow just to see how it drives. I am sure you could do awesome donuts in a big parking lot!

Guess Who?
Well I guess not many interested in Springtime fun? Spirit you win. Driver with all four wheels off the ground. Bob Bondorant when driving for Carroll Shelby Racing during the 60's. (Forum members must be all young) Bob Bondorant lives in Phoenix and operates his driving school at Phoenix Int. Park. Picture was taken in April 1963 driving 289 Cobra at Green Valley Raceway in Dallas, Texas checking out suspension for Gene Hamon Ford's Cobra, as per Carroll Shelbys direction. For those from Texas who remember Green Valley Raceway in Dallas which had a long straight then around a GIANT Oak Tree in the middle of a hairpin curve then over the hump at between 90-100 mph with all four wheels off the ground. What a track (torn down) now a residential area. Hopefully Spring Time is near for all Forum members. Drive safe even with all wheels off the ground.:banana :banana :banana :thumbsup TGH

Neil, I feel your pain, only here in Ohio, we are at that point before the Spring Solstice that taunts and teases us on a daily basis. I was able to take an hour ride on my BMW GS1200 on Friday, drove my new Lotus Exige on Saturday, and shoveled over a foot of snow today! When hope rises, we are only beaten back down by Old Man Winter!

Today in Atlanta was another of those Spring teaser days in the low 70's and another drive in the 427 Cobra while waiting on the GTX1.
Well it's very nearly spring now.... I leave my house at 5.30am every morning to drive to the office - and it is, at last, just starting to get light.
It'll soon be time to dust off those Steely Dan CD's and reverse the beast out of the garage.
Drive West on Sunset to the Sea.........
Turn that Jungle music down.... doo, bee, do be dooo..... :biggrin

C'mon Neil,get with it! Luvly day for the GT on UK roads today - dry, crisp and clear. Mine is in the office car park as we speak.
I've just got to kill that hamster that's in the dash...........
I took the Bentley into London today. Unfortunately the GT is just too wide to go through the ancient arch that is the gateway to my office courtyard. Also I don't have the balls to bring my GT into the centre of London - white van man scares the stuff out of me!

Translation? Is that a radar trap-mobile, or what? (for the benefit of us "colonials")

Night Ride
I got home at 9:00 last night and the temp was about 70 degrees and humidity down so I got the GT out for a little cruise. Putted down the Gulf Beach road 35 MPH in 4th and just listened to the exhaust rumble along for about 10 miles. Twisted a few heads off the outside bar people and brought back memories of cruising in my 55 Sunliner with the top down at night listening to the glass packs. Ain't it great to own a land cruiser?:banana
Hope the snow melts for you guys UP NORTH soon.:biggrin

Sorry, 'White Van Man' is a euphemism for a delivery driver, it's a well used expression here. In the UK most delivery drivers seem to have white vans (Ford Transit) which belong to their employers and they consequently drive with impunity.
White Van Man is a sub-species of 'Post Office Van Man' and 'London Bus Driver'. It is not clear if POVM and LBD ever mated to produce WVM - there is considerable evidence to suggest they did.
Because London was primarily designed for horse and cart, it would take a brave man to commute in a GT - WVM is always eager to prove his overtaking manouvres!

Aaaaaaaaaaah! Well, isn't THAT odd. WE have the same kind of bozos over here!!!!!
There's evidently no international boundary where they're concerned, or so it would appear.

In your dreams! Kalifornia hates guns, leave them in WA if you want to obey the laws of man and nature.

Nobody but nobody gets a permit to carry down here. And the ACLU makes sure the local racist homophobic right wing PDs don't get away with checking the gang bangers.:bored Just gotta love the God $%#@ ACLU.
