614HSO Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Well I don't where the heck it's been since she left the plant on Thursday morning? But my car is at the dealer as of 8:15 this A.M. !!!! Now I just have to get my sorry butt down there to get her. My car was no. 2 and believe it or not, No.1 is still there same as 07 Shelby's Red / White I dunno the sick puppy that owns that one, but hope to get some good pics of the two of them together! They are holding off to do the PDI until I arrive so I can document the event and meet their senior SVT tech Film at 11:00 P.M.! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD30 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 CONGRATS, PETE. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. TD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
614HSO Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I am so pumped it has been a very long time. Close to a year and a half of serious pursuit of this weapon. My wife is out of town, now I gotta figure out what the heck to do with the dogs, go get some stuff packed, head down tonight or leave at the crack of dawn? I won't be able to sleep anyway! I have not been this excited since I don't know when, it sounded like the sales rep was about excited as I was....... So it must look good!

kaylan1521 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 CONGRATS! Where is the car? Don't worry about the dogs, they'll be fine. As for the excitment, enjoy it! I picked up my car on Saturday and I've put two tanks of fuel through it and I don't drive it to work. I can't stop driving it and you will no doubt be the same. Real happy for you.

614HSO Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Thanks everyone! I am really looking froward to hearing seeing and "feeling" what everyone has been talking about. It has been a long road to get here with many questions and few "potholes" along the way too! BTW: I live in Northern Ontario, and the dealer is in London. It is about about 5 hour drive.

rbortnick Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Hey Jet and Rod! Have your cars come in yet? Not yet - Should be at the dealer this week. I have confirmed that it is out of the factory and on the road in transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSOLVER Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Came and went. 15k+ ADM( not sure as thats what I offered) is more than the car is worth right now. I am a patient person most of the time so...we'll see. I have a feeling things will change come Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07 Shelby Cobra Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I met up with 614HSO, Pete, in Barrie yesterday evening as he was headed back North to Sudbury. He had just come from London after having picked up his New Shelby at Oakridge Ford. Very Nice! Red convertible with protective plastic still covering the Interior. I think that he wants to peel it away himself like a Kid on Christmas morning! We had a few beers and chatted for a couple of hours. Great Guy! He even picked up the Bar Tab. :beerchug: Awesome Guy!! I believe he's going to Post some Pictures up tonight of our cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shel-b001 Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Requis--- Are you # 5 on your dealers list ? If so have you checked your statis of your V.O.C??????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
614HSO Posted August 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Hi All! Like 07 Shelby said..... I hit Barrie at about 7PM (after missing Dave's exit duh!) got some high test at Sunoco, and hooked up with Dave (07 Shelby) with not much time for pics but lots of enthusiasm! "Wanna go for a beer" asks Dave? Sure I say, where to? Wanna see the waterfront? Why not I respond........ Ended up at Hooters in Barrie....... Okay okay, culturally speaking, questionable behaviour. But then again, we have a couple of really Red cars @ 500 H.P Gotta go! Took some pics but the light was getting low, will try to clean them up but just downloaded the software for this new camera need to play with it a little. Just a very good excuse to go back to Hooters with more Shelbys! Promise is a promise. I said they would be up tonight and here they are! O7's coupe and my Vert. When I can clean them up I will post in new arrivals. There are more but you get the idea....... Pete PS: Don't get the idea that it was all Dave's idea, we had company too!

requis Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Requis--- Are you # 5 on your dealers list ? If so have you checked your statis of your V.O.C??????????? I'm actually #6...and being told maybe October...but not really sure..my dealer has not given me any numbers VIN or otherwise so when I say I'm in the dark...I'm literally walking into things... Are you#5? I'll post if I get anything back... Cheers Requis I met up with 614HSO, Pete, in Barrie yesterday evening as he was headed back North to Sudbury.

Couple hours, beers...oh I get it all of us Car nuts that don't have their Shelby's can't hang out....okay so its like that then...I guess we need to start a specific Shelby color car club...Anyone who has Blue, either stripes or base head over to the Hooters in Brampton on Queen...it'll have to be in the Spring...as I still don't have my car...but hey October is around the corner....
