Big Tits
Planning to keep the old girl around. I still really enjoy driving it and want to track it more
Still some angles that have to grow on me for sure, but overall I can see potential.
I don't sail on the ocean to often and didn't want the boat sitting around the house...

Nothing much really. He talked more about his time developing the FGT and getting it ready for LeMans… sounds like it gets hot in there lol
Must..… resist...….
don't forget, or I will have to do it again lol
Who knows. sounds like he has the FGT at home and may be out of the country for a bit doing some racing. That guy is living the dream
Cool story. Congrats!
great story and amazing car. always cool to have something with a story. looking forward to see what kind of mods you do. congrats
What an amazing turn of events for you! Congrats man!
That shit is Dope! OMG that color is amazing! I bet u wake up every morning with a smile on ur face knowing thats parked in ur garage! Wow!
The stance on these cars is perfect from the factory. Nice ride bro!
Some of it may be due to him no longer being employed by Ford, who basically screwed all their drivers when they pulled the plug on the GT racing program. He may be largely unemployed for the 2020 season because of it. He might be a little salty about that.

They were never racing this season? Did they tell their drivers they were and back out last minute?
that’s awesome man congrats!!!! maybe it’s been asked and answered, sorry I didn’t read each and every post, but why would he go through the trouble of getting the vin number he wanted, and then decide he no longer wanted the car? idk, just odd to me

Obviously I don’t have the full story, but Ford basically waffled back and forth regarding the future of the GT race program and asked their drivers to hang on, only to pull the plug after most teams and drivers already had their seats filled for the 2020 season. ~ 3-4 of the Ford factory drivers (who are all very good drivers and would have no problem finding a ride under normal circumstances) are without a seat this season because of it.
Sorry for going off topic.
Hmmm..
I remember several years ago DBK said it would be a 4 year effort. I thought that was the plan from the start. Not to mention they were talking about it constantly mid-last year, that it was the end.
Dirk has Mercedes to fall back on in GT3, and I'm sure plenty of other races where he subs in.
Ticknell and Westbrook are both driving for Aston, Ticknell is still in a Mazda prototype.
Billy is with Ford development.
Briscoe is running Cadillac DPi.
Dixon is obviously still employed.
Pla is running Mazda.
Bourdais is running the Mustang Sampling DPi, and I thought he was still in Indy?
It seems like most of them had something to move to. I have no idea what Joey is going to do, or why he didn't have a back up plan.
Could this be another sign of ford in huge financial issues?
Color is perfection.
