Hi,

I am happy to say that I got "my" GT back last Friday after having parted with it a couple of years ago.

I went through about 15 different cars in this time but always missed the Ford. Having owned app 150 cars this is the only time I have come back to a car after selling it : )

As far as I know, the car is the only GT registered in Norway and when I saw it again sitting in the local Ferraridealers showroom, I just could not help myself and partexchanged my Ferrari Scuderia for it.

Took the car to the mountains this weekend, and for the first time since I sold it, people were actually waiving and smiling at me again......Since I last drove the Ford I had a Phantom a Murcielago two Ferraris and a bunch of Porsches and driving those cars people looked at me like I was an asshole (pardon my french)

So this time i will try to hold on to the Ford just to see all the happy faces it creates...

Cheers

Jo

I seem to recall there's another member here who bought his old car back, but, I can't remember who it is. In fact, I think it was his wife who bought it back for him as a birthday present???

...and few of those cars give me the same pleasure as my GT, except maybe the Murci. :)

Welcome back to the fold! Nice to hear that this 'old' design still brings smiles across the pond!
