Smile countdown begins

Hi everyone,

Today the importer I ordered my black GT from made my day.

I made the deposit, and therefore placed the order on jan 26th, and up til today he hadn't given me any eta at all, and I can be persistent...

But today he said he got the vin and estimated about 5 weeks to deliver it here in Spain, I haven't stopped smiling since I hung up.

Looking forward to post some pics in five loooooong weeks from now.

Cheers!

here go a few pics of my hometown.

I live in the North coast of Spain, in Santander.

these pics are from both Santander and Suances.

if Santander is small (population 250.000), Suances is tiny.

hope you all like my country.

cheerssss!

I've been to Rota and Moron, and I can say they're a couple of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. I can't imagine what it must be like at some of those roads less travelled. Nice Pics!

you guys are quicker than my importer.

No, you can't, actually it was part of the reason why I've been worried, I was the one who told him that was not possible and after that he confirmed she had been built without them. No big deal, but somehow gave me the chills...

And Sr. Perez you are right Orense is now called Ourense...

cheers everyone!

Tomorrow I'm taking a plane down to Madrid to pick up my beautiful beast.

I can't believe it!!!

I don't think I'll be getting much sleep tonight thoug.

Thanks to all of you for your nice comments and support, it's been five darn long months since I ordered it...

Promise some nice pix of a bone stock black GT, nothing you all haven't seen before, but so exciting for me.

Hugs everyone, lol.

Hello All!

two apologies:

- for taking so long to post a pic
- for posting such a horrible one

This pic was taken by my buddy with my phone, in the warehouse the importer has near Madrid, on june 24th at noon, which is the moment I took possesion of the beast.

The odissey's not over yet, the green plates are provisional, pending homologation of the car (yes, you may laugh hard, in Spain you need to get an individual homologation for a Mustang Gt stock bone...as if in Spain we were not completely sure that Ford can actually make cars...I understand if you don't believe me), so I still have some more fences to jump before I can actually relax.

Nevertheless I am in love with the car, such a great drive!

Got it with Ford racing springs and really happy with handling, what to say about acceleration?

All in all, very happy with the decision despite all the hassle so far.
