This was too funny. I attended a car show last weekend in Monterey/Carmel California that features Ferrari and other Italian made cars. I drove up to the entry gate to the corral and the young men at the gate asked me if I wanted to come in the corral. I said yes. I pulled in front and center of the corral. I exited the car opened the butterfly doors and the engine hood cover. Within a few seconds everyone left the Ferrari's and other Italian cars and surrounded the GT. Everyone had their camera's out and snapping away. The GT was the hit of the Italian car show. :banana:cheers:rofl
 
Were you at all SURPRISED?! :biggrin :lol :rofl
 
:thumbsup:rofl
 
That's hilarious Jerry. On of my intended custom license plate frames would say:
"Que Bella Machina". All too fitting for a show like this...
 
Simply too "Cool"

If you produce that plate frame, note that i'd like one or two of them please!
Perhaps a version in FRENCH to "celebrate" the LeMans victory would be equally sweet... my plate reads "LE MANS 8".
Best, Paul

I'm really sorry, I HATE to be the spelling police, but if you're gonna do up a plate frame for all to see, might as well get the spelling right..... (geez, I sure hope I got the spelling right!! :wink) *I'm not Italian or French.

Italian "ché bella macchina "
French "quelle belle machine"


Carry on.
 
Question ......................
What's the easiest way to clear a Lambo showroom floor ?

Pull up in a Ford GT !!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup


I did that about two weeks ago ........... it's a good feeling and they knew I wasn't interested in buying a Lambo. :biggrin

Ehhhmmmm.... I have enough GT folks here in SoCal trying to embarrass me every chance they get, now I get it from Canada as well ---- Geeez!!!:lol:lol:lol

I actually used google, could the results produced be in spanish? Any hombres here that can set the record straight???

Pbly the closest thing in Spanish that'd fit on a license PLATE by dropping one letter is: "Que coche" ( keyboard duzzunt have the proper punctuation...but ya can't use that on a 'plate anyway!).

Reminds me of the show here in New Hope PA last weekend. In the foreign exotic class alot of beautiful Ferraris, Astons, Lambos, Masers of all years and vintages. One Ford GT (Mark IV red by the way). Guess who one first place in the Foreign exotic class? Yup..thats correct the one and only FGT!!!!!:thumbsup :banana

Also reminds me when I took my Shelby Cobra to a Corvette show. Guess who won Mayors Choice. Yup....The Cobra. The vette guys were a little miffed. It was delicious!!!!!:thumbsup:banana
 
Awsum, I assume that this is your car, that really is an "Awsum GT". (I got confused [sadly, easily done :lol] because Kayvan posted the pics.

It's almost unfair to have it in the Italian Corral. I really love the deleted bumper. So clean! :thumbsup
