This is just a Birthday show out to car no. 875, the nightmist GT500 owned by 2112. 53 years ago it was completed at Shelby American LAX, bound for Marty French Ford in Watsonville, CA. My good friend Michael has been a wonderful custodian of this car for sometime now. Make sure to take her out for ride today, even if it's just around the block. ;D
Happy Birthday Brian....and many more.
At this point, you look better than 875 as of right now.
Keep 'er runnin' ...
You too Brian - running strong '-)

Happy Birthday to you too my friend.
Has it really been 53 years since the two you arrived? Time flies.
Sun is out, I certainly have the time, you are right, I need to get out there. Hopefully you will too. ;D
Happy Birthday to both!
2112, hope you took her out for some exercise.
Happy B-Day Brian, hope you enjoy the day,
Best,
Greek
Thanks guys, weirdest birthday I can remember. I did sit down and watch the Gumball Rally after not seeing it for 40 years. What a great time that movie is. I especially loved the joke about the Jag team never getting their car started in the garage. As the two guys are sitting under the dead V12 E-type, the one turns to the other and says, "You know, it's beautifully engineered." :o

I understand they did that scene to Jaguar because the company protested their car being glorified in an illegal road race. The movie scene was the response.
That is brilliant!
A notation about the Jaguar scene. Who knows if really true or legend.
