Lucky.


Now I'm jealous.


Man, I was thinking about going there today, but never found the time to drive out there.

 

Not to rub it in but you should've gone. It was awesome!!!

Here's a link to the pics.

There were lots of people with no car show etiquette. As you'll see in one of my pics some guy was picking the diecast car of the shaker hood. There were tons of people who I just wanted to scream at. When will people understand look but don't touch and not leaning on cars?

 

Funny (well, not really), but the non-respecting spectator you're talking about on that avocado Boss 302, is the car that won Best of Show at the South Bay Mustang show that I participated in last month.

Idiots like this is the reason why you prop up a folding chair right next to your ride. I still don't understand why some of these people must touch and feel everything!

Well, thanks for posting the pics. I see alot of nice 05/06 custom GT's. If these same guys show up at the Queen Mary show, I definately have my work cut out for me.

 

When is your QM show again? I have until the 14th of October to get two cars ready for the MOSI show.

 

Sunday, September 24.

QMX

Oct 14th is still a good ways away, ya still have some time to get them both 'show quality'.

btw- Is your MOSI link supposed to go post#34?

 

I think it goes to the last post. It's just a thread talking about where we are meeting and what we'll do when we get there. Plus the guy running the show is in the thread, too (ChrisM).

 

I see that it's a judged event, which means that you'll need to be more critical when it comes to detailing them.

I went to a Porsche carshow that was judged and there were 3 guys inspecting every inch of each car. One of them actually put on some white cotton gloves and put their hands behind and around the motor (in places you can't even see!) to check for dirt and grime. These judges were hardcore!

Have fun cleaning, Tom!

 

Chris said the judges aren't that harsh for this show. For example, I won't be cleaning the inside of the rims because I don't think anybody else will be, either. Like he says in that post... they look a lot at the fit and finish of mods (I should be an automatic winner! ).

BTW... give Courtney a big KISS from me!

 

Wow, Bill... we had a 6.0 earthquake today!!

Actually, it was in the Gulf of Mexico, but tremors were felt as far away as Orlando. I didn't feel anything, though.

 

You see what kind of members we draw into our Mustang club? Pretty cool, huh?
I think she drives and owns a newer T-Bird modded by her buddy, Chip Foose. Since it's a Ford, she's a member of our club.

If I went up to Courtney and gave a big kiss and told her it was from a guy in FL, I think I'll get smacked and my membership revoked! (in that order).


Lucky it was far away! Not good news if its epicenter was in Orlando.

 

Nobody in Orlando even knows what epicenter means! And I don't want to learn!

We already know too much about the Saffir-Simpson scale.

 

Haha! And no one here in SoCal knows what a Saffir-Simpson scale is! But, I do now.

 

Well, now that you know, Charley came into FL in 2004 as a Category 4. That's why none of us had roofs left!

On a Mustang note, the '66 is doing pretty good on eBay for still having 7 days left!

 

Wow! 6k+... not too shabby!

 

Needs to at least go to 8.5k. It's stalled now, but I think toward the end it will move.

Now you guys have me looking at DVD head units (stupid Daryl ). But, I would have to stay with my favorite brand... Kenwood. Found some nice ones... all about $899 to $999.

 

Quick Q's. Do any of you use the car as a daily driver or atleast more than Bill does? If so how's the finish of your chin spoiler looking?

Reason I ask is because if it starts looking bad after awhile I figured I'd leave the matte finsih on it rather than wasting money on having it color matched.

 

daily driver - 10k miles - no chin spoiler yet

My window tint scratched. I have to call the installer and see what they plan to do about it.

 

Just hit 5000 miles yesterday. It's not an every day daily driver, but I drive it more than Bill drives his (who doesn't?). My chin spoiler is matte and shows absolutely no damage.

Not sure about a painted one, though.

BTW, Mach 1 chin spoilers were matte black.

 

Daily Driver 6,500 miles , no chin spoiler either.
I say color matched on Black, just my opinion.

 

With the stripes like you and Bill... yes, color matched. For all out Mach 1 look... flat black. Wish my spoiler was flat black.
