GT Owner
Welcome. Makes me feel like a 16 year old. I was thinking today that if I was 16 and had a choice between s** and the GT. Didn't make a decision since I got distracted with the Octane Heritage magazine. Car Porn
Although I aquired my 2005 FGT in August of 2011, for Forum purposes I just recently made the transition from "Spectator" to "Owner." I probably fall substantially out side the boundries of the age demographics for GT owners since I will be 82 this comming Cinco de Mayo.
Welcome Red Baron. Finally, someone older than Ralphie.

No, that was a photo of me on the slalom course at last years Roar and Soar event at the Fantasy of Flight complex in Lakeland FL. The P-51 in the background belongs to the chap who owns the facility, Mr. Kermit Meeks. It is a P-51B and is painted up in the colors of the Tuskeegee Airman squadron, the 'Red Tails." If you are a WWII and vintage airplane buff this is a "must see" facility if you are ever in Florida. Here is anothe picture of me with my Lotus and a Folker Tri-plane in the background. I call it "The Red Baron meets "The Red Baron."
I have no idea how this 4 year old posting of mine reared it's ugly head. Believe me I am not seeking any notoriety. As long as I am on the screen I will give a brief update. I still drive my 2005 FGT on a regular basis. I had it at Sebring on March 4 for an SVRA event and drove some 8 "parade" laps. The car now has some 16,000 miles on the clock, 7,000 from previous owners and 9,000 by me. I had a pulley, tune, Borla muffler and general service done by the GT Guys in 2013. Oh, and by the way, I will be 87 on Cinco de Mayo this year
