Even though I don't recommend taking pics while driving, after all that is not that safe, thanks because those were great pics

We were doing 60 - 70mph. They were staying at the speed limit. It was interesting trying to line up those shots. I had to let them go by me and take the pic as they were passing. And then catch up again. Not easy to do with three of them. But well worth it.

Holy crap those pics look like they are right by the El dorado exit on I-45, all of about 5 mins from my house. I travel that route to work every morning, how in the heck did I miss it, arrrrggh!

Great job on the pics btw :w00t:

Mellow....

That is exactly where I took them at. And then leading onto the beltway. I was talking to you a week or two ago about Bay Area Ford btw.

Is that a Legend Lime with the dark top? I can't wait to see that color in person. Sat in an 05 performance white, with the red and charcoal interior on friday! I'm holding out for a vert though.

Does anyone know if a white top will be available, or will there only be black and tan?

I would rate the windveil blue a 11
Screaming yellow a 10
Legend Lime a solid 9

I think the Lime would look a bit better with the parchment roof. Just my opinion of course.
Yes, tastes differ. Personally, I don't like parchment tops on anything except black or dark green cars, and yellow is not for me, though I agree it's a good looking car. The legend lime looks the best to me.

Based on these photos, I prefer the no-spoiler look with the top up, and probably also will when the top is down.

Thanks for the great pictures, Craig! Now, get out there and get some top-down photos!

Cool

My uncle saw that exact caravan a couple days ago.

See if you can get pics with the tops down... the pics I took here of 2 of them topless turned out waaaaay too blurry and I doubt they'll have the tops down anytime soon up here.

That is a Legend Lime with a black top. Those pics didn't come out very well since the sun was catching the car and I was taking pics through my windows with a camera phone.

It looks pretty good but it was definetely the least attractive of the three.

I would rate the windveil blue a 11
Screaming yellow a 10
Legend Lime a solid 9

I think the Lime would look a bit better with the parchment roof. Just my opinion of course.

I am waiting for a vert as well. It is a long wait. But after seeing these cars today I know it will be worth it. I can't describe how beautiful these cars are.

Great Pictures Craig!!!!
They went right by my house down the Beltawy also.
How are things going over at Bay Area Ford for you?
I have one ordered there also. Also have a backup at another Dealer.
Right now it looks like the other Dealer will get my car first.
