QuadCam Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 The annual NYIAS is open to the public on April 22, 2011. There are several Team Shelby Members in the Northeast (we include NJ in the Northeast) that have expressed an interest in seeing the show and meeting-up before and/or afterwards. It is never too early to start making plans to be there and meet new members behind the nicknames and avatars. Visiting during a weekday is always the best way to go to beat the crowds, and early in the week is better than later. Be it a vacation day or a sick day (coff-coff), specify a day in your reply that works for you. It would great to have a decent turn-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That works for me Wick! The manufacturers hostesses get a little burned-out as the week goes on, plus all the good "give away" stuff runs out. Last year,, my friend Paul and I were hitting on this cute redhead from the Nissan display, and she asked US to out for drinks after the show! I want to check out the new Explorer and the new Jeep GC, among many others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuadCam Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Not saying I can make it yet, but Rob, I assume you would be taking the train there? That's right Bob. We drive to New Haven's Union Station and take the MTA to Grand Central Terminal. The fare is much better than Amtrak, but you have to get there early as you are competing for parking spaces near the Station. If it is a nice day, we'll walk to the Javitts Center stopping along the way for breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuadCam Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I am def. going, need to check out some SUV's, as my lease is up in August. I'm looking too. I just read Auto Week's quick look at the Explorer, and I'm not impressed. Built on the Taurus platform, it is nothing more than a "Butch-Looking" Ford Edge. It is a Nissan Maurano, but with a 5-speed "slushbox" instead of a Nissan CVT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to get there early and catch a 7 am train i think....or was it 7:20... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuadCam Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'd like to go, although a weekday may be tough. It would be great to meet you Tek, but I understand you have a bad reputation of saying you'll be at some event and not show up. At least Ilmor has learned to use an escape clause, "Not saying I can make it yet..." Tek, your case is not unique. This is why I'm posting it early. I will register the day as a vacation day, 3+ months in advance. :elefant: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all it's verdoro green not bile green. I get a hell of a lot more thumbs up and comments with the GTO then I ever got with the Shelby. Plus I'm having a blast working on it.

Roush GR40 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I've been very fortunate to have attended the press-only days when Shelby launched the GT500, GT-H and GT500KR. Does anyone know if Shelby has any new launches planned for 2011? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuadCam Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I've been very fortunate to have attended the press-only days when Shelby launched the GT500, GT-H and GT500KR. Does anyone know if Shelby has any new launches planned for 2011? While I can only speculate on what "Ol' Shel" is up to, I seriously doubt he would bear the expense and effort to show anything at the NYIAS. Will Ford show the latest GT500? They always have... Will the GT350 make an appearance? I don't think so; it's not a "Ford," but a pure Shelby creation that competes with the GT500. I believe the GT350 will be that last , great creation with Carrol's direct input. The old man is finally signaling that he is ready to give up the fast lane and take an easier route. One of his best friends from way back when, Bob Tasca, passed away last May. That, along with the SAI restructuring which leaves the reins in the hands of others, tells me Carrol's latest set of body parts are going to have to last to the end.

QuadCam Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Remember the loser gang members have there gang intro's there was a discussion about pulling the show out of the city. So watch your back So what are you saying "Racer," you don't plan on joining us? Really? I have been in and around the Big Apple for 5 decades (first memories are the 1964 Worlds Fair), it is still the Best City In The World. While I appreciate your concern, I would rather spend a day in Manhattan than most anywhere else in the Empire State. I always watch my backside whenever there is a large gathering of people with a common interest meets those that have no business being there.
