I know I’ve been very quite on the forums lately, I’ve been in deep thought contemplating the next part of my life. With that being said I’ve decided to sell my ride. This was a decision that did not come easy for me. I’ve put my heart and soul into the car and hope that it ends up in a good home with someone that will trully care for it.   This isn't something that's easy for me...at all.  It's had me in some pretty foul moods, I've almost been in devorce court twice since April over it.  Unfortunately, nothing has changed…so I have to say farewell.  

Below is a list of modifications added to the car, some are factory installed items and others are aftermarket parts. I’ve kept all of the original parts that have been taken off the car, throttle body, H-pipe with cats, coolant tanks, etc etc.  So the car can be restored to original.

You can click on the link below which will take you to my website on GotStang. Most of the parts that have been installed have been photo documented on there. I know there are over 500 photos of the car posted on this site. The car has been a major part of my life over the last four years. It’s been my ride, my pride and my joy.

Pics are in!!! Hello all!
 
I know a majority of you are wondering how are cruise went this last Saturday.  Well...it went GREAT!!!  For you mid and east coast peeps it's important for me to mention the weather wasn't perfect.  Halfway through the day the clouds rolled in and the temp dropped down to a freezing 65.  There was even a rain sighting...but not near us.  Over all it was a great event with 20 cars participating.  Not bad for a weekend that was threatened by rain.  Keyways winery in Temecula provided some great box lunches, wine and wonderful outdoor patio for us to kick it on.
 
I've put up some pics below to share with those that are tired of seeing nothing but white and those that love to see some cool cars.
 
I hope you all enjoy them and thanks for stoppin by.

See you all at the next round up!

February 23 Mustang Cruise!
We apologize for interrupting your normally scheduled program. This is a test of the Forum Blogging System
 
 
I know it's been a while since I posted anything of interest on here...so...I have some news about an upcoming cruise through Southern California. It's a Temecula cruise!!!! That's right...a run out to the wine country.

The Saddleback Mustang Club has put together a cruise for the end of this month, Saturday, February 23. I've attached the flyers for the run in this posting. If you're interested in having lunch at the winery you MUST sign up ahead of time. A head count needs to be provided so lunches can be prepared. Please don't flake if you sign up.

We should have great weather for a two hour cruise. So wipe down your car and get on out there! Hope to see you.
Brian



 
And for those of you that are worried about the wet California weather...well check out the forecast from Weather.com.  It looks like it's going to be a dry day for a cruise.  It might be chilly but it's beats staying in.
 
 
Hope to see some of you out there!
 
You will now be returned your normally scheduled program still in progress.
