2007_Shelby_GT Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 If you guys choose Asheville, I'd be happy to assist. I'm up there about once a month for business. Lots of cool stuff to do and the owner of Highland Brewing Co. is a client of mine. To quote Homer Simpson: "Ummmmmmmmmm, beer." That Highland brew is very tasty!

07 NAJA Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Well it would appear that i'll be able to make the trip with you guys afterall. We got word today that their moving the closing on the sale of our house from the afternoon of the 19th to the morning of the 17th. Guess i'll be homeless while i'm in NC.

gt67 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Vic, glad you can make it. If we get any more cars, Yulee's going to bring out the local high school marching band to send us off at McDonalds. This weekend I'll change oil, put on the paint sealant, check the tire pressure and lug nuts, put away the shorts and sun tan lotion and load the cold weather gear. The Boss hasn't been out of the barn since Silver Springs and it's looking forward for it's 3rd annual trip up North. 1st yr Michigan, 2nd yr Shelby Fest Mo, 3rd Boone NC. Frank you can still do 125 mph in fourth, you don't need 5th or 6th gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarecat Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Testing the GT-500 today. For those that don't know, the Fusion Sport is no slouch either. 3.5L V6 263HP 6 Speed Auto w/Manual shift gate..... and about 28 to 30 highway MPG. For a 4 door sedan, it hauls ass....

2007_Shelby_GT Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Be careful, the Yulee Police has some fast horses! Here we see a safety crewman manning the extinguisher on one of their "Pursuit Mustangs" after it's hooves caught fire during a high-speed run! (Radar gun readings indicated a top speed of nearly 145 mph before the fires started!) Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt67 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Yulee Police, marching band, safety personnel......... all we need now are Ronald McDonald and the Hooter girls for the send off. Sam, did you know that the Tail of the Dragon is the number one spot for anniversaries and birthdays, and I am sure that Vic would let you use his lovely new home for a romantic weekend with the wife.

Carl Bishop Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Fellas.... Please be prepared to deal with a heavy dose of pine pollen this weekend... Because of the late arrival of Spring this year, the annual Yellow Pollen Clouds are week or so behind schedule. It was like a dust bowl where I live in the Piedmont this past weekend, the Mountains are about a week behind us. Have a safe trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07gt500conv Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Already on Allergy medicine down here because of our pollen count, but thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
