Cali_KR Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 You can imagine my surprise (and thrill) when Automotive Traveler magazine told me that they wanted to run the story I wrote of the epic adventure that we were a part of last summer. My initial story was 4500 words, however they requested that I expand it in some areas which brought it up to about 5500 words. They are running it is sections, with Part 1, going live over the weekend. It will be likely be 4 or 5 parts Here is the link....hope you enjoy Motor on, Tom http://www.automotivetraveler.com/magazine/viewer.php?path=2013/07/Shelby_Run_Europe_2012_Part_1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denstang65 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 That is really cool and nice of you to do that Tom. I am very happy for all the participants that were able to do that trip. I would like to thank you guys for sharing your experience. To read and see pics that you all shared from your trip was definitely the next best thing from actually being there! I have actually met a few of the members at some events and would like to say that one could not imagine anyone better going on that trip, than the very kind people I have met. Till the next event, take care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown Away Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Like already mentioned, fantastic article Tom. I can't even begin to imagine how incredible that trip was. Laura has mentioned she would like to make the next one, as would I too. Anyone have the winning lotto numbers??? On a side note, it was great hanging out with the TSPCR crew this past SAAC event. Good times with good friends and met some new faces too!!! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paolo Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hello guys, I'm from Italy and I met you in St.Moritz (till Milan) with my Mustang. I'm still trying to find a SRE patch, after 1 year I sent money to SMC though PayPal but nobody answered. What can I do? If anybody will be able to help me, I appreciate. My email is p.morisi@mustangclubofitaly.it Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
