Not sure how to attach multiple files on this forum yet. Bear with me.

Incidentally, I flew into LAX a few months prior, mid 2006, and there was a whole row of brand new GT-H sitting there, all with sequential California plate numbers. Tried to take a group pic but my camera batteries died, could have kicked myself in the head for that.

I did end up taking pics of at least 11 different cars, including one with Arizona plates. I miss seeing these things everywhere.

The question that now needs to be asked is:
Did you drive her real "gentle like", do the speed limit, talk to her all nice, turn the corners real slow, stop for old ladies crossing the street........ ect..... OR DID YOU..... ???

Boy, I wish we had more photos like this! I'd love to find a photo of #229 while in rental duty.

Just started perusing your blog, LOVE it! Had the same reactions when I heard they were bringing the Hertz-Shelbys back. Which is why I kept taking pics every time I saw one.

Do you know the original Hertz plate number on #229? I can keep my eye open for it. Seeing how your car came from SoCal I probably oogled over it as I was in and out of Burbank/Ontario/Lax/San Diego on a weekly basis for several years.

I'll try to upload the others as I find them and get the file sizes shrunk under the 500k limit.
