Spent 4 days playing in elk country . A bit of fishing, lots of ATVing and kept an eye on 100 cows and calves

My wife wasn’t as impressed but I was
The ford G2 driver was a lady
Notice the shirt I was wearing

Ole red would have ben in high class company. The Bugatii has an unofficial speed of 257 mph

Excellent shirt photo op Lefty! Ya, red's top speed isn't quite 257 but she sure makes loud noises and draws attention ;) Did you catch any fish?

The Ford GT40 does not go 257 MPH either, but it has a storied past and they are hard to get. Ordering one would be like trying to get a date with miss America. Lefty, you could have tried to get a date with the GT40 driver and ask to show her around in it. Just be careful you do not let her show you around in it.
I still remember reading a story about this young lady that had a guy suckered into a blind date with her. She drove up to the restaurant in a high end Mustang. He saw the car and starting remarking about how he liked it. She led him to believe she was just a novice with it. He wanted to show her the ropes, and she agree to after she took him to a nearby private track. You can figure out the rest of that story. He never drove the car, but got a valuable lesson in humility.

Swede my brother had a fast 69 GT Mustang that had a few track records before my brother “fixed it up”

He always had good sound practical advise for anyone

He often told other young men something to the effect
“Date the girls that like your dog not the ones that like your car”

I think most more “mature” fellows can understand that sage advise.

This is the video I was referring too. It has been a lot of coffee breaks since I watched it and my memory about it was less than stellar. It is still fun to watch. BTW: this is not a video of the GT40 driver is it?
