Finally I've got it...After weeks of waitings.....Luxembourg has one more Shelby. I kept it yesterday form the port of Zeebrugge in Belgium and drove it home, next week I've to do the registration. I'm so unpatient.....Honestly this Babe is absolutely top. The sound is the best I've ever heard, fabulous.... :happy feet:

.....and this Vista blue color, in combination with the grey Lemans Stripes that's really :drop:

Thank's to Shelby Automobiles giving me the possibility to realize one of my biggest dreams. :shift:

Hi-thank you..
Well just for information :from Jacky Jones Ford Inc. to Brunswick (port) I had to pay 2000 $ to rent a container, then I had to 200 $ taxes in the port in Zeebrugge. that's all.
Next week I have to change a few things on the car, and then i've to do the importation of the car and the registration.
Unfortunately you can't buy these beautiful Shelbys officialy in Luxembourg...The good thing is that they are Exots and you own something really rare. The bad thing is, no garanty, no dealer to get pieces you have to import them from the States etc.....

But as I told myself a few months ago, Dreams are made to get realized. So I did...and I ordered...

Congrats! That will be a blast over there. Is your's a convertible or a coupe? You will probably have a hard time driving that anywhere with all the people that will be asking you questions about it. Have fun!!

Well mine's a coupe. Oh how correct you are... A lot "specialists " want to talk to you, and want to explain you things, and honestly they have absolutely no idea about what they are speaking. They call the Shelby GT, just only a Mustang..... and when I hear this.... I finish all conversation. Well, really cool is here: when you have a Ferrari, or a Porsche near you in the traffic, and all eyes are looking on the Shelby, and don't even take care of the others. :dance:
