[GT450]

I get where you're coming from IRA and i see where these enthusiasts are coming from too, but it should not be called a show and shine it's really just a gathering of like minded car owners. I am just a little younger than you and have always loved cars since i was a boy, inherited the gene from my late father.
Whilst I like car shows , and love motor racing and had many new V8 Fords, I have never had the urge to show them off or join a car club. I was burnt early in the piece when i considered doing so , by a lot of know it alls whose main aim in life seemed to be to put anyone outside their clique, and their cars, down. Since then, never had time for clubs, i look and admire and hang around with a few close mates with Ford cars or allegiances , share good times and good memories about all things Ford, as for the rest ...well who cares. Hopefully i will be able to keep my passion for Fords and my GT till they pry the licence to enjoy them out of my hands.
