  Randy,

The car handles nice,just like your sitting above the driver's front tire,responds excellent.

Brings back lots of memories of putting yourself back in the seat due to torque.

If your getting this mod done it's well worth it.

See that Don/Laura are going to Penticton at the end of June, check it out.

These two are excellent people and are great friends.Looking forward to doing more stuff with them this year.

Will get into BC later in July as going to 100 mile house.

Do ex-pats with dual passports count?  

Grew up in BC, (Port Moody) too much rain...came to California in 1985, where we can drive our cars and ride our motorcycles ALL YEAR long...sorry, had to rub it in...and hopefully, we'll get parade down Santa Clara St. in San Jose with Lord Stanley's Cup this year

(psst: my wife is from Lethbridge, but don't spread that around   )

My parents still live in Salmon Arm...

Hi guys - glad you started this thread. I hope more members check in here.

I live in Victoria, bought an 07 GT500, tungsten vert in August 06, but sold it. I now have an 08 GT500, alloy vert - both from Coastal Ford in Burnaby.

There's at least 6 more different Shelby's I've seen or heard about here locally - 2 black coupes, 2 red verts, vista blue coupe, and a black/red stripe coupe. There are a couple more on T.S. from B.C.

The local Mustang Club hosts an open car show mid-July, with 60-80 Mustangs of all years. A couple years ago, there were 5 Shelby's there, so this year should be good.

There's a huge Mustang show in Langley that I'd like to go to this summer, too. Maybe GTH176 knows?

I'm originally from Lethbridge, Ab., and we drove there last summer for the Street Wheelers cruise and car show - that was fun! Just about had a divorce, but a lot o fun!

you missed the black vert in Gorden head #1754

Hi Glen - I stand corrected!

We have to get everybody in the same place at the same time, and make a list ... the Owner of the Tap House at the new Sheraton has an ebony/alloy coupe. He'd like to start a meet and greet there.

He's the only one I've met in person recently.

Randal,


Glad to hear your enjoying the car.

I think me and the wife are going to go to the Penticton show, it sounds like fun.

What are you doing in 100 mile?  that is only 426 km from where  live.

Well hopefully we can meet up some where some day

Randy,
  


  We're going to the lake and check out the local car show in 100 mile house in July. Think it's around the 12th.

We live in Maple Ridge, BC

I moved up to BC from Portland, OR after getting married to a Canuck!  Brought my 2007 Shelby GT and my 2008 factory ROUSH "BlackJack" convertible up. Before making BC my permanent home, a couple of years ago I purchased a 1968 fastback from a guy over on Vancouver Island - near Victoria.

Welcome!

Nice to hear from you 66DNA. It's been a while since I have seen you post. Hope things are going well. You've got some amazing cars.

[DonHarker]

Hey All,

This summer (if it ever gets here !!!!) sounds like it is going to be great.  Great car shows with plenty of cars all over this AWESOME COUNTRY .  Penticton should have over 600 plus cars. The Langley show probably 400 or more and Ontario shows always bring out hundreds and hundreds of great cars.
Cant wait to meet other car nuts that are as nuts about their cars as I am.

Randel,
I will let you know about Rockin August Car Show in St. Albert as soon as I get the info. Was 450 plus cars registered last year.  Should be bigger again this year.     Don.

ps.   Anyone want to know what NUTS is.  Driving your convertible Super Snake at the end of March thru a snow storm over 400 km.  Just for a wheel alignment.        RIGHT RANDEL..........

    

[DonHarker]

Oh yea,

I can Not believe how many people have come from Lethbridge, live in Lethbridge, married someone from Lethbridge or have relatives in Lethbridge.  

I lived in Lethbridge for over 30 years, married my wife there and we had a son and daughter there.

guess we need to go back to car shows there....

[08SHELBYSS]

Good day everybody

Wow  you guys are making this a hard decision for me,  sounds like I need the whole summer off so I can go to all the car shows lol, although the way the weather is going that might only be two weeks.  It's good to hear from all of you,  lots of nice people on this site,  all with really good taste in cars    lol

Too funny.  I lived in Lethbridge back in the late 80s, my daughter was born there.  Great place, except I could not get use to the WIND.
