Wow! That exhaust is impressive. Those headers are awesome but look like way too much work for this old guy. I've decided to go with the Bassani axle backs only for now. My hats off to you.:D

Thanks for posting.

Thursday 6-14-07 was also "Ford Employee Appreciation Day" so I worked 1/2 a day and went down to Ford World Headquarters to see ALL Fords' race cars and drivers.I think you will see a few familiar faces,John Force and Ashley,Jack Roush,Robbie Gordon to name a few.:D :D :D

Awesome pictures by all.

I wish I was there.

Sounds like you all had a great time.

07 SHELBY,

If you choose to make this an annual event, I'm in for next year. :cool:

Yes, I would drive the 3000 KM (1930 mile) distance from Calgary to the Detroit area (and would love every Kilometre/Mile of it). It would only be about a 30 hour drive! :eek:

I just placed my order with my dealer and decided that Black stripes on a Torch Red car was a better colour combo than my original choice of Tungsten on Alloy (mainly because that combo has been discontinued :( ).

All the best to you all as now the 'real' waiting begins. :cool:

Arbour88 out!

Next time I'm driving for sure. I couldn't believe there was no Vista Blue there. Vista Blue needs some representation! (whine, whine, whine...) :D

I would like to say a few words about the next 8 pictures.The 1st picture is not a Shelby but it was the only car Joe had a 2nd gear in.He was so happy he took home a collection of Mayflies home with him.LOL.Only kidding Joe.Thanks for you and your boys driving all that way,appreciate it.

My buddy Eric doesn't have a Shelby but was nice enough to stop over so I included his Mustang.Plus sometimes he is my boss and it is good public relations.

Darren drove his Harley over.He is part of the electronic brain trust at AAI and is moving to Alabama in a couple weeks.Good luck Darren.

Hey guys,
Remember Norm that took the group photo.Here's an e-mail I just got from him................07.....................

Hi Fred,

I put the pictures on a CD. It's on my desk if you get a chance to stop
by. I am also going to print the photos and place them on the wall in
the Great Hall. And, I am going to write a story based on your comments
and the posts you supplied. I will print it in the next issue of The
Guide (August) and possibly send it to Ford World for a corporate-wide
story.

The Guide is a monthly magazine that keeps us up to date on the union and the company.I will try to get a copy for everyone that went on the tours.

I for one would love to have these full res! If you want to try to email them to me, I'm at ronsmith55@comcast.net.

I was thinking that if I could get all the tour guys to send me their high resolution pictures, I would compile them and send out CDs to everybody. I know they are huge files, but I get huge files in all the time. Problem might be too many at one time.

Prez, PM me your address if you don't mind.

I have been busy the last few days but here is an e-mail from Romeo Engine Plant.Enjoy


Fred, you and your group are special people who provided my team with a
unique opportunity that I'm sure they won't soon forget. What they
experienced is the true reward for what they do, the pay check is nice
but the satisfaction of having a customer shake your hand, look you in
the eye and thank you for taking pride in what you do..... you can't put
a price on that!

What a great group of people you are a part of, I really enjoyed meeting
all of them and extend my gratitude to you for conceiving the idea and
seeing it through. You and your friends are now part of the Romeo Engine
Plant extended family and are welcome anytime.

I do read the postings on your web site and thank all of the members for
their kind words.

After everyone went home I got a few compliments from the neighbors.While everyone was there 1 of my neighbors(works for GM) came over on his bicycle(a little intoxicated)and rambled on and on about how he liked the cars.There is a picture of him here somewhere.Let me find him.

Here he is.I think the Prez posted this earlier.

Oldimp and 07 Shelby,

Nice Pictures I wish I was there!! Guess what?? Ford is going to give two Shelbys to the oversea Military Sales program next month I got my name in the hat, wish me luck!! Not only that, if I winner the right to buy one I could get it for $100.00 under invoice(yes, that what I said). One 07 and one 08.

I was on leave in South Carolina for one week and I must have hit 10 dealership, not one would take 5 G's over. I think 7-8G's was the going price in South Carolina. Now I'm glad I didn't put my money down to get one next year. I'll let you know next month. Thanks and I will talk to you soon.

I wish you all the luck in the world! What part of SC are you talking about? My dealership has sold all of theirs for $5k over, but everyone else around the area as been $20k+ over. If you are in the Charleston area, let me know!

Man, I'd freaking feel like I was in heaven seeing this many Shelby Cobras in one spot. Lucky for me, there is only one other GT500 in town and he is very conservative. See him every now and then and talked to him once. Don't understand because he only drives the car, according to him, every two or three weeks. Shame, Shame, Shame.

Yes, I am pretty much the Lone Ranger.

I figure most of you "original tour" guys think I have forgotten my CD project! That isn't the case! I have been waiting for some higher resolution pictures from a few of you and addresses from a few of you. No pressure, but if you planned to send me high resolution pictures and/or addresses, please send them on soon, or at least let me know. I will give this another week and then I want to hold up my end and get something out to you.

I have most of the pictures, and some of you have really come through for us with the high resolution stuff! There is plenty of room on a CD for everyone's high res stuff! I think I am missing six addresses. I have addresses for Fred, Joe L., John A., Ray, Joe B., Rick and Jameson. Help me out guys!

I went ahead and designed the topside of the CD and started printing them. I have a lightScribe writer and the first one came out pretty nice! Sadly, they don't always come out, but the other side is still usable! I used one of Cal's photos (low res, hint, hint). I'll pre-print the tops and do the rest after I know I have received all I can expect. I'll get some CD shipping boxes this week.

Smitty My pics just arrived and they are FANTASTIC. Not only do you have our illustrious leader on the front cover but the personal one of Sandy and I was a great touch. As we looked through the pics it brought back great memories of the trip, the sites but most of all the GREAT people we met and spent time with. I also took the disc down to Blacks Photo and had a free 8x10 done of the group which I now have hanging above my computer where I can see everyones sweet smiling face everyday(haha). You did a superb job Smitty and both Sandy and I thankyou so much.Take care Jim
