Well,

The wait was worth it. I picked up my SS on Monday, long trip home to Canada but made it with no real issues. I would like to thank, Bud (aka Santa), Adrianne, Cynthia, Brain and everyone who worked on my car or made it happen. Big Thanks! Even though I have been to SAI before going back to pick up the car was really special. Everyone was so helpful, I had a blast! I took my 17 year old son with me, he was amazed at all the excitement around cars and the number of people taking the tour and pictures of my car. This is truly something he will always remember, that and I let him drive it around the block when we got home. He won't see those keys for a long time.

While we were there I saw at least 7 car haulers full of KRs arriving, very cool to see so many in one place. I saw a couple of Red GT500s verts arrive for conversion, from Colorado (I think).

I know the rule is to post pictures, but these are all I have so far. I will post more after it is all cleaned up.

Congrats on the SS. They are great cars. I hope you were able to read my instructions on how to post pictures! If not, you did a good job figuring it out!!

The black with polished S/C is a great combo.

Congrats on the car! That is a great look. How much of your hair turned grey when your son was driving? I'll bet he hasn't stopped smiling; hide the keys well!

I was hoping we'd meet next week, when I pick up my completed 40th on Tuesday. But I'm glad you got your car. Maybe we'll get together in the Okanagan sometime, it sort of half way... Have fun!

It would have been great to meet you, to bad we were a week apart. In fact I did get a few grey hairs as it got it a little loose once when he was driving it. :censored:

I live in the Okanagan so if your every in the area lets try to get together.

The black looks great!

My wife and I were out there twice last year for some golf. Nice trips in the convertible, when it wasn't too hot... I'm sure we'll be back for more pain and punishment (from golf, not the heat :hysterical:

)
