vapor08GT500 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Here is the first set of pictures from our meeting spot in Palm Desert, CA en-route to Tucson, AZ...... We had mywickedshelby (MIchael) and his black SGT that we just finished supercharging and doing his suspension from NJ, Fontech (Tom) with his Legend Lime GT, Shelby #18 (Rick) with his Ford GTX-1 and check6 (Leann and Rob) with their Tungsten Terlingua, and me with my 10 GT500 vert. We met up with Thumper (David) and his newly converted Grabber Orange Terlingua Vert in Quartsite, AZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vapor08GT500 Posted October 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Right past the AZ border my car turned 5000 miles.... Here are pictures of one of our gas stops and the hotel in Tucson, AZ where they were nice enough to let us park our cars under the covered loading area.

check6 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Gee, that's news to me. I thought we all got along! I didn't see or hear anything. Sorry Carole, this happened when we were alone with him, and the last morning at breakfast at the hotel before you got up and joined us....you are right, you didn't heard any of this and I don't believe David, his dad, or Mike heard anything... it's why we left the group in New Mexico and I didn't say good by. People, I'm sorry this dirty laundry came out...this is between Tom and myself and many others that are going to the upcoming SEMA show...it has nothing to do with Team Shelby...

Son of GT Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Folks, this is really not the place to discuss private matters that involve specific parties. This is Alex's fourm showing his pictures of the event and I don't believe that he started it for any other reason than that. I recommend that both parties take their discussion into PM's and end the back and forth posts here as they do not benefit anyone including the two parties. Alex, thanks for sharing the pictures and I'm glad that everyone got there and back home safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vapor08GT500 Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Thanks all....it was a great time!!! We called you on the way back several times to meet up with you Grabber, but your cell was off again!!! We were looking forward to seeing you!!! The round trip was 2500 miles. My new GT500 now has 7150 miles on it an the oil has been changed 4X already... I have over 200 pictures uploaded to photobucket and will post as I get the time....I have been slammed with cars since I returned..... Here are some more pictures from AZ to NM....lots of pretty sights....sorry I had to take these myself through the windshield, but Dayne wasn't able to come and take pictures...

Grabber Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Alex, My cell phone is on 24 / 7. I don't think you have my new number that I got after the May Meet and Greet. Too bad I missed you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Saute Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 sorry I had to take these myself through the windshield, but Dayne wasn't able to come and take pictures... O.K. Alex since this is an election year, and seeing this last batch of pictures. I vote for Dayne 2011!!!!

vapor08GT500 Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I will not comment on any drama, thanks Enis ( Son of GT) ....You're right, I just wanted to post the pictures I took of this amazing event to share with those that were there and those that missed it.....I can't say enough about how well this was run and how much fun everything was. If you can make it next year E, you will have a blast.... Dan (MY500SS), I bet you Greece will not top this!!! I know my pictures do not do this event justice, but you NEED to come next year....start planning now....LOL Tom (Fontech), I am posting more now....they have been loaded on Photobucket for several days, but I have been very busy playing catch-up... Micheal (mywickedshelby), I can't say enough as far as your build, spending time with you and Dale, and the road trip....was great fun all the way around. These are memories we will never forget!!! Sherri (msmap) It is all your doing!!! I never would have come if it wasn't for your beatings, bruisesings, and con-coctings in April when we were modding your 40th I never would have gone....You were right though...well worth the drive, expense, and time. If Patrick and Astrid are willing to fly 3 years in a row from the Netherlands, that has to amount to ALOT too as far as fun factor!!! Thank you..you were right on 100%!!!! WildAzCat, Thank you for following the build. The hotel was nice enough to let us park under cover overnight. It was great to not only see your group and your cars, but to know you all went way out of your way just to meet up with us. It means alot. Jeff (azmartin), No way, pat yourself on the back first!! Not only did you bring food and your group to join us, you arranged for Leann (check6) to get syringes for Robert's diabetes medication, found us a Chevron gas station, and led us to the next gas stop. You are top notch, sir!!! Thank you!! Wicked's SGT did turn out pretty darn good though too...LOL Rob (Grabber), I called the same # (503 area code) you called me back from after I called the 360 # that David has now on the way to TX. What a pisser, all of us were looking forward to seeing you. Nevertheless, I will make it a point to come and visit before you go back to WA. I consider you a very good friend and there is no excuse to not see you when you are less than 3 hours away from me!! Rick (Shelby#18), LOL. you almost made me say my favorite word that I know you dislike... hehe...Dayne is way better at pictures than me, especially when I am driving. Don't encourage him too much though as he reads all these posts and it may go to his head....LOL....
