Slabo Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 We had a great time on our drop-off trip to Vegas. My son and I drove down from WA (1200 miles) in two days. It rained most of the trip so I didn't even bother to take any pics. We dropped the car off early on Tuesday. We jumped in on the regular tour given by Steve and toured the Cobra and SS production lines and the museum. It was great hearing the stories and how the GT350 & GT500 where named. My girls showed up after flying in and we had a great lunch at the Shelby Cafe. We ran into Dan (MY500SS) at the Cafe which was cool! Doug was nice enough to take us on a mini tour since the girls missed the regular tour. We had a great visit with Bud and reviewed my order. What a nice guy. Spent a bunch in the gift shop. I found a 40th polo shirt that I had not seen on any of the web-sites. Then we played in Vegas for 3 days. Overall a great trip with some vacation thrown in. Everyone we met including Steve, Doug, Bud and Cynthia were all very nice, helpful and we were treated great! Anyway here are some pics. -- Bob Made it! Had to wash it in St. George, UT so we could do the check in Checking out the cars Taking the tour with Steve My Shelby girls made it too!

txcobra Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Awesome story. Glad you were able to visit the Shelby Cafe before it closed Steve So sad that the Shelby Corner Cafe has closed. I just ate there June 12th and had no idea that was coming. Maybe it will someday reopen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
