gt67 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Woooooooooow....... Our 5th straight year of meeting up just keeps getting better, Scott. You and Cliff are the greatest. What a blast... North meets South. Thanks to all for such a great time. There are no words to described how special Frank's wife, Jean was on this trip. Looking forward to seeing you all at the 50th next year. Sam. Jenny loves her Devil Bunny shirt. Scott has the best video of the year coming up. Please post. Scott Frank and Jean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stngfever Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 What a GREAT trip. Same as Jim, long exhausting trip home, but worth every minute. Will post more this weekend. While the roads were awesome driving, the friendships new and old are what made this an outstanding trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trip was: Priceless. I can confirm Jim does drive 78-80 MPH all the time, even when the speed limit is 70,65,60 or even 55, and also in road construction areas when is 45.

Rarecat Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Some other interesting notes from yesterday.... As Jean and I left the hotel, there was an older gentleman looking at the GT-500. We started loading the trunk and he asked "when did they start making Shelbys again?" I responded, 2006. He then went on to tell us that he had been a member of Carroll Shelbys pit crew at the Bonneville Salt Flats in 1963. He said he thought they had raced Falcons that day and held a record for about 40 minutes before someone else beat them. I showed him the engine, told him 605HP and 20 MPG and he just started laughing saying they had half the HP and got 6 MPG. He was from California and was headed up to Cades Cove for the day. As we neared Atlanta, we were passing a semi in the left lane....as we passed the cab the entire front of the car and windshield got sprayed with oil. Luckily I was smart enough not to hit the wipers! We took the next exit and J9 spotted a self serve car wash. I was paranoid the rest of the trip and gave a wide berth to any trucks with a red cab. Clean up & detailing from this trip is going to take quite a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07gt500conv Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I dropped mine at the stealership for a TSB item. Figured it was dirty and I would clean it up when I get it back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt67 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 A few weeks ago Scott came up with the idea of a dash plaque and Cliff and I thought it would be a great idea. So Scott did the layout ( THAT IS SCOTT'S SGT ) and Cliff had the connections to have them made. Hats off for a job well done. Scott, it's time to post the video of the year.

LOL. I bet that was when I had go-pro as I kept jumping into different lanes to get views of all the cars instead of just the back of Frank's.

Carl Bishop Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I have extra. Send me your address: pmue2000@aol.com Don, Sorry for the confusion, I have the dash plaque (Thank you both)... I'm glad that Cliff had some extras made since I just showed up without confirming my attendance. What I was jealous about was the second day of driving you guy's did on the Dragon that I missed out on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt67 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Here's one of the runs on the tail. Thanks for the great video. It sure is deceiving though, we were going much faster than depicted on the screen. Even the hippie music seemed slow. Next video of the group from Cliff's car should be even better. :happy feet: Best is yet to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt67 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 So slowing down had nothing to do with Scott slowing down to much in the turns and nothing to do with you going 78 in 50 MPH work zone. Next video please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
