Thursday at Ford's 100th..............raining all day, yuck. Lots of Cobras in the area, so many around the hotel......

Tomorrow is tour day, see some of you there.

We (me, wife & 2 kids) really had a decent ride of 13 hours to get here.

More detail in the next report.

I guess I'm not the only one who brought a computer.

Yes, the rain sucks. Calling for sunnier skies the rest of the weekend.
I spent a while ooogling over the new Mystichrome vert in the SVT tent. I spoke with the SVT rep that was "guarding" the car. He said that it just rolled off the line three days ago. They are producing the rest of the 1000 in November of this year. He said that they shot photography of the car earlier in the week but he hasn't seen the pictures yet. He's hoping they come out well since it will be the feature of the 04 brochure due out in mid July. '04s should begin shipping "early", sometime in August.

Oh yeah, the rest of the show is cool, too. So much to see... off to get some shut eye.

Oh yeah, Tony, Dave-we're in another hotel, we'll hook up tomorrow sometime. (Since you disappeared after registration.

) I'll email you my cell number. Ken should I have it too.

Better day yesterday (Saturday), no rain, ground drying out. Made the "toy box" tour to the place where SVT and Roush collaborate (sharing the same building) on SVT components. Met the actual teams who work on making the mods to the stock Mustang so it can carry the SVT label. All are a bunch of young guys (20's and 30's). Saw a 300 foot burnout by a modified BOSS 429.

Saw the Mystichrome, the prototype '05 Mustang GT, the concept Lightning, the 429, some GT90's, other concepts of other Ford brands.

Stayed for the Beyonce Knowles concert, 60,000 people, stage was a long way away, so most of the concert was viewed on the big screens.

Just prior to the concert kickoff, a Ford exec had three GT90's driven on stage by Jackie Stewart, Dan Gurney and Caroll Shelby. Ford's mission is to knock Ferrari on its butt on the track with this car. In production next year, get your orders in soon.....price around $150,000.

More later. Gotto go to drive my Cobra around the proving ground track and visit the Roush complex to see more of their stuff.

great to see everyone, however, with all of the events going on and overlapping, and all day walking and touring, it was tuff to spend much time with anyone....the 2 days on-track at gingerman followed by the svt toy box, roush tour, dearborn plant tour, and 100th celebration displays pretty much wore us out, and by the end of the day, we showered, and just went to bed, lol....the weather cooperated, and everything went well....
