Welcome to the board, auto doug.

Just so you know. I assume you are referring to the Mid America event in Iowa in Oct. This is the SVT Cobra Mustang Club event, although there will be a fair number of us there from this board in our R's. The actual R meet is in Sept at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wi. You are very welcome to attend one or the other, or better yet, both.

Looking forward to meeting you, thanks for joining our little corner of the world.
Brian

Welcome to this site and Register your R at our Registry here w/photo Thanks.

Hope u can make it to Michigan again. Later Leo C. :idea:

Thats a great story, guess you could call it fate?? I bought #131 in Colorado also. Flew out to denver, took a taxi from the airport directly to the dealership, and drove strait home to minnesota. Great way to break in the car.

Looking forward to seeing you at a couple events this year, we have a great group of guys here. There are a couple more that normally lurk, but they are on vacation now.

Now, If we can only get Andy and a few of the Texas and southern guys to come up to the Mid America event we would have it made???????
