Octoberfest Mini Gathering

Recommended Posts

I just woke up from a short nap.

 

I had a terrible nightmare.

 

It was a dark, rainy night. I was in the passenger seat of a Mustang - but wasn't belted in. As a matter of fact, I kept twisting around trying to find my seat belt - but couldn't grab hold of it.

 

Thunder boomed all around me.

 

The driver's door opened. A large man got behind the wheel. He had a strange - evil look in his eye. He wore sandals and spoke in a foreign dialect - like Mean Joe Greene.

 

He found his seatbelt and started the engine. It made a dreadful sound. I asked him where he was taking me.

 

He said - Sonic Burgers.

 

I asked him what was making that God-awful noise under the hood - he said:

Great pics Orf. You must have been a photogragher in a previous life. :party:

 

 

I've found that the subject of the photo does far more for the picture than the chump behind the camera does.

 

The shot of your car by itself really pops. PM me your address, and I'll send you some prints.

Like I told John, maybe next time we'll have more cars and more time. I'm kicking myself now for not getting more (and better) video and a lot more pictures. Bill should have his by then. Heck, Rpretzel should have his by then, but I doubt he'd drive out from CO.

Poor rpretzel, I really feel for the guy. If there were an easy way to do it, I'd gladly redirect my car to him and take his spot if mine came in first. After all, mine will just sit in the garage until about mid April....too much snow and cold weather here.

 

P.S. No, I have no idea when I'll get mine...no VIN yet.

Okay - I'll shoot this up the flagpole.

 

Should we look into a weekend at Virginia Int'l Raceway - so we might get some track time?

 

Or - Nazareth? Or Pocono? Or the Tail of the Dragon?

 

I think track time would draw more folks.

 

(and - I'd love to get Orf on the twisties! :hysterical: )

Appreciate the kind words, Dave. I've pretty much come to terms with the late delivery. Mine would probably just sit in the garage all winter as well, so a spring delivery is OK. Denver gets plenty of great days in the winter, but there's always so much sand and gravel (and rocks the size of a monkey fist) on the roads, I probably wouldn't take it out.

 

I'm definitely going to be ready for some roadtrips once I get mine. Can't wait to meet you guys in person.

Great pix, guys!

 

I'm really liking look of the stripeless hood verts more and more -- sweet!

 

I'll have to wait 'till I get home (Nov 7) to 'steal' some of those pix -- out in NV right now, so limited access, but just wanted to tell you all how awesome those pix are ... :woohoo:

The next time we gather up - the Rufstang will have a much different personality:

 

Inbound, (from Brenspeed) I've got: Cams (Comp cams Stage III); an SCT Tuner; BBK Throttle Body; A Racer CAI; and Steeda underdrive pulleys. Installed today was a Steeda upper control arm (to align the driveshaft after the lowering springs - and to eliminate wheel hop). (all of the above for about $3500 less than the Roush huffer)

 

Perhaps 400-425 at the crank.

 

Better tune those Shelby's now, boys! :shift:

 

edit: no blower - but a few pieces nonetheless. :rockon:

Gee ,with a list of penny saving measures like that I say why not add a set of slicks to the order. Especially with all those "coupons " that you use on a daily basis. :hysterical::hysterical:

 

" But dear just imagine how much I'm saving by not having a boat, not to mention any dresses."...its only a couple of cams :hysterical2:

 

 

[ Sorry Ruf, you left yourself wide open, I couldn't resist. ]
