Well, I can safely say I had a blast and made it there and back in one piece. For those of you familiar with my SVT, Ohio has been where I have broken down. Not this time!

I'll see if I can get what little pix I took online and go about getting some of the video up as well. Also, whoever took video, and doesn't mind sending their tapes, please do! Send them to Steve so he can make a kick ass SZ04 video for all of us.

Again, thanks!

p.s. My highest MPG was 26.8, cruise set at 85 and spending about an hour in triple digits land. Not bad I think.

hey shaggy it was great meeting you finally. lets do it again sometime.

It was great to meet ya, I want to do some long distance meets, I am thinking about a North East US tour with my 'Tour. Perhaps I will see ya soon.

Agreed. Wendy and I may be coming out for Mark's Octover meet. Come on out as well!

Damn I will be in Austria then, perhaps sooner.

it was good to see you again chris.
i only hit tripple digit s a couple of times and one of them was in Canada trying to catch a silver SVT.
he didnt want to play.
oh well.

You guys and your fancy shmancy gas mileage. At one point on the trip home I had the foot on the floor, running 65 and averaged about 6.75 MPG! I totalled up and spent about $450 in gas this weekend.

Shaggy I want to see that burnout vid man.

Rick

wow!
even the hearse gets better gas mileage than that!
hahah

Hey Shaggy! Great to meet you! Sorry about putting you into the wall at the Kart track!

If it makes you feel any better, my shoulders are still sore from all the abuse!

I actually got 31 MPG on one tank. I got really BAD mileage on Saturday trying to keep up with all you guys on the way to the museum!

No worries about the wall 'incident'.

It was all in good fun!

31 MPG, thats just awesome!

Rick, I should have them captured within the day or two. I will need a place to host them though, I don't have much room left on my fototime account.

Mike, too bad the SVT didn't want to play.

it was great meeting you man. And good luck with the vinyl. If you have any questions, PM me.

my dads truck got 11.5 mpg highway with the empty tow dolly, i probably got near 10mpg while towing the contour!

did you see his trailer?
that plus the SVT is a heck of a lot of weight to be towing
